16 TROUBLE SHOOTING
The following table aims to point out possible operational problems and offer solutions to such
problems (not applicable during the starting procedure).

Check for mains supply voltage at terminals
L&N, X1/1+2 against nameplate. If OK,
check fuses F1, F2.
Check ambient temperature.
Disconnect white wires from terminals
X5/3+4 and measure sensor resistance:
107,79 +0,4 Ohm at +20°C ambient; if there
is great deviation change the sensor.
Adjust the desired temperature with the
trimmer Potentiometer P3 (0,1V/°C) and
control the current temperature at terminals
(X7/3) with an extern voltmeter (see
Temperature Setting and Control).

Transistor BUZ11 faulty
Check voltage of the Peltier elements at
terminal X5, 1 and 3 respectively 2 and 4
(see circuit diagram):
> 12V DC = transistor faulty;
Fit the new transistor V1 on the basic circuit
board.
