Control Unit failures
All connected IR tubes keep switching on and off repeatedly
If all IR tubes connected to a single IR Control Unit are toggling on and off continuously, follow these steps:
- Check the power supply
Ensure that the IR Control Unit is receiving stable power. If the unit is connected via a 3-phase supply, we strongly recommend having the connection inspected by a certified electrician. - Inspect the fuses and differential switch
Turn off the power supply, then carefully open the Control Unit and check whether the internal fuses and differential switch are in good condition and properly functioning.Check whether or not the Control Unit's power supply is working as intended. We recommend having the 3-phase connection checked by a certified electrician.
IR tubes do not turn off after reaching the upper temperature threshold
If the IR tubes stay on despite the target temperature being reached, verify the following:
-
Check the manual override switch
Make sure the manual override (the rotary switch on the outside of the Control Unit) is set to “Auto”. -
Reset the override mode
Rotate the switch from “Auto” to “Manual”, then back to “Auto” to ensure the setting is applied correctly.
Differential switch keeps tripping
If the Control Unit’s differential switch trips repeatedly:
- Disconnect power and check for moisture
Unplug the Control Unit and open the housing. Inspect the interior for any signs of water or moisture. - Check the connected IR tubes
If no moisture is found inside the Control Unit, inspect the connected IR tubes. Moisture inside the tubes can also cause the differential switch to trip.
IR Tube failures
One or more sections of an IR tube are not working
If parts of an IR tube are no longer functioning, there are two options for resolving the issue:
- Repair the damaged sections
You can cut out the non-functioning sections (in 1-meter segments) and restore the IR tube using an official Frolight IR Tube Repair Kit. - Request a replacement
If repair is not practical or preferred, you may request a full tube replacement. If the product is still under warranty, the replacement may be covered.
