If anyone of the HI-LIMIT temperature SENSORS sense an over temperature condition. It will
open its control relay. (Refer to the ADS-464 ladder diagram for the effect of this relay.)
If a HI-TEMP FAULT message is displayed, open the main electrical enclosure, and notice
which channel has cycled. This will lead one in the direction of the fault.
HLS1 - MAXIMUM INTAKE TEMPERATURE
HLS2 - MAXIMUM EXHAUST TEMPERATURE
The HI-Temp controller channel that has a GREEN LED (light emitting diode) ON, indicates
the RTD that caused the message (HI-TEMP FAULT) to be displayed.
Let the dryer cool and verify that GREEN LEDs (light emitting diodes) resume scanning.
Reset the controller by pressing the RESET on the controller. This will verify that an over
temperature condition occurred and the controller is operational.
Go to 1 and check airflow.
If hi-limit controller
does not reset, go to 3.
3) If either RTD (Resistive Temperature Device) 1 or 2 were to open or become disconnected, the
associated temperature channel, of the hi-temp controller located on the main electrical panel, will
sense the open and react by opening its respective control relay and never re-energize until the RTD
is replaced. Once HI-LIMIT controller problem has been isolated to particular device, and a RTD
temperature sensor is suspected:
Check the resistance of the RTD at its connector, located in the right hand cable through.
.
If 0 ohms (0W) is measured:
Check RTD (Resistive Temperature Device).
Check wiring to the RTD (refer to ADS-464 Main Panel Wiring Diagram).
Check wiring to the HI-LIMIT temperature controller (refer to ADS-464 Main Panel Wiring
Diagram).
If RTD measures in the range of 100 ohms (100W):
Check wiring to the HI-LIMIT temperature controller (refer to ADS-464 Main Panel Wiring
Diagram).
If wiring checks out:
Replace the HI-LIMIT temperature controller.
Retest.
4) If there is no display on the hi-temperature controller.
Check that main power is ON; front panel BLUE indicator.
