Tusda 3 open
Warning
Description
USDA 3 Temperature Sensor Open Circuit
Cause
Indication of loose connection, defective or lack of USDA 3 temperature sensor
Trouble
shooting
Possible causes:
•
Temperature sensor Tusda3 or its cable defective.
•
X1 cable is defective.
•
Defective plug inside or cable on the unit backside.
•
Controller PCB defective.
Accompanied alarms:
•
N/A.
Trouble shooting:
1) Disconnect the sensor cable for sensor Tusda3 from the connector on the
interface/terminal block PCB, according to the wiring schematics inside in
the control cabinet.
2) Measure the resistance between the two wires.
a) If the resistance is more than 1.5 MΩ, the cable, the plug inside in the unit
or the sensor is defect. Check plug before replacing sensor and cable.
b) If the resistance matches the resistance and temperature in table,
Tables
starting p.204, the temperature sensor and cable are ok.
3) Measure the voltage over the connector for Tusda3. It should be between
4.80 and 5.05V DC
a) If the voltage is inside the above range, connect sensor again. Measure the
voltage over the sensor and check voltage/temperature according to table in
Tables
starting p.204
b) If the voltage is outside the above range, the controller PCB is defect or
other sensors may be defect and pulling the voltage down. Check other
alarms and see
Trouble shooting for Star Cool Controller
p.56 before
replacing controller door.
Criteria
