6-2 Determining 
Temperature 
Controller Errors or Sensor Errors 
 
Using a Thermocouple 
If the controller displays a temperature that is close to room temperature (70ºF/21ºC) when 
you short-circuit controller input terminals, the controller is normal and the sensor is probably 
broken, short-circuited, or incorrectly wired. 
Other service problems or questions can be answered by contacting the Service 
Department.
