Smartpack Temperature Sensor

Just wondered if someone could suggest anything. I have a 1st generation smart pack (the ones with the modules that bounce out) however channels 1-4 keep cutting out under a very light load and the temperature sensor is reading ~98 degrees even though the other two sensors are reading significantly less.

Are there any quick fixes or things to look for or is it a send away fro repair job?

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom-

This is a symptom of the control card not making a good connection to the main power PCB. On early SmartPacks, the lid was designed to retain the card but we have found that a cable-tie retrofit to hold the card in place in is a better solution.

Get in touch with your local support to discuss!

Hi Luke

Tried to give you a call today with regards to this and spoke to Ivan(?).

Turns out it is a faulty thyristor cube. Any chance you could let me have the part number so I can look at getting a replacement?

Thanks.
