TECs not on actuator error


Applies to

  • Trendsetter 3244
  • Platesetter 3244
  • Trendsetter 3230 (TS4 Version)

Description

TECs not on actuator error

Causes


Solutions

  • Make sure that the TECs are on the actuator.
  • Check the polarity of the clamp reed magnets.
  • Take a magnet to each TEC and make sure that it is attracted by one of the circular sensing magnets in the body of the TEC and repelled by the other. If both magnets are the same, remove one of them, flip it over, clean its mounting pocket, and reattach using GOOP.
  • Check the TEC reed switches and replace as necessary.
  • The switches should be more or less centered in their adjustment slots. With the clamps on the backbone and the backbone up, individually isolate each reed switch using a multimeter, and move the clamp by hand over its full range of motion on the trailing edge clamp pins. The sensor should remain on at all times. If not, replace the sensor.
