Common faults
What usually fails on a unit like the EP3-E-4-A
Temperature, PID and burner controllers are small but critical: when one fails, a furnace, oven or process loop stops. Most faults are in the power section, input circuits or output relays, and the controller can be repaired and checked against a calibrated source.
Wrong or unstable reading
Damaged thermocouple or RTD input circuits, often from a sensor short or a surge on the sensor wiring.
Output not switching
Burnt output relays, failed SSR drivers or damaged analog output stages.
Dead display
Failed internal power supply or display driver.
Lost configuration
Memory faults that reset the input type, range or alarms.
Burner sequence faults
Flame detection, valve proving and ignition faults in burner controllers.
First checks
What to check before calling an engineer
Isolate and lock out the supply, and wait for stored energy to discharge, before opening anything.
Safe for plant staff
- Check the sensor and its wiring before blaming the controller.
- Note the input type and range configured.
- Record the alarm or error shown.
Leave to a specialist
- Calibrating inputs and outputs.
- Any work on burner management and flame safety systems.
- Changing control configuration on a running process.
