THEORY of OPERATION

The Fluido DHT utilizes ambient air and pressurizes it via an internal blower. The pressurized air is directed across a heating
element bringing the air to the desired treatment temperature. The heated, pressurized air is then diffused across and through
a baffle to fluidize and heat the Cellex media in a patient treatment reservoir. All treatment parameters; air speed, temperature,
treatment time and the unit preheat settings are programmed by the operator with the touch panel user interface. The Fluido
DHT unit base incorporates four locking casters and a manually operated hydraulic lift to adjust height and rotation of the
treatment reservoir for patient comfort.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Fluido DHT Model 1480 and 1481 Software Error
Messages

A. The information provided in this section is

intended to aid in troubleshooting the Fluido DHT
Model 1480 and 1481 units. There are only two

software error messages that could indicate a
“Bad Board”. Therefore, should tests contained
in this section indicate the pc board is bad the
board must be replaced as an assembly. No
component level troubleshooting information is
or will be provided by Chattanooga Group for
field troubleshooting of pc board components.

B. Once the PCB has been determined as bad,

replace the suspected board as described in the
Removal & Replacement section of this manual.

Motor/Blower Error

A. Should the software detect a problem within the

operation of the Blower/Motor, the display will
show four dashes beneath “AIRSPEED” on the
control panel LCD.

B. If this indicator is visible, there could be several

possible reasons:

• The intake filters are clogged and require
cleaning.

• The motor has overheated and requires a
cooling period before operation is resumed.

• The Distributor is clogged and requires
changing.

• The Cellex Medium has entered the heat
cavity of the unit and is restricting the air flow.
Should this indicator be visible, remove the
unit from service immediately. Perform any

and all maintenance and repair necessary
before the unit is placed back into service.
Refer to the appropriate sections of this
manual for proper removal and replacement
procedures.

Temperature Sensor Error

A. Should the Temperature Sensor experience

problems the software will display four dashes
beneath “Temp” on the LCD.

Should this occur the system may “Lock Up,”
preventing any further operation of the unit. This
error could be caused by several different
problems including:

• The intake filters are clogged and require
cleaning.

• The Temperature Sensor is faulty and requires
replacement.

• The Distributor is clogged and requires
changing.

• The Cellex Medium has entered the heat
cavity of the unit and is restricting the air flow.

B. Reset the Temperature Sensor by turning the

unit Off. Press and hold the “Stop” button for
ten to fifteen seconds. Release the “Stop”
button and turn the unit On. It will be necessary
to reset the Clock (refer to Users Manual). If the
Error persists, remove and replace the
Temperature Sensor. If the problem continues to
persist, replace the pc board in the control
panel. Refer to the appropriate section of this
manual for proper removal and replacement
procedures.

The following information is intended to aid in
troubleshooting the major components of the
DHT Units to “Board Level” only. These tests are
OEM standard testing procedures and methods
used at the factory before shipment of any Fluido
unit.

22..

Due to the complex nature of the technology
utilized by Chattanooga Group, the recommended
troubleshooting techniques are to determine “Bad
Board” and board replacement only. No board
component level troubleshooting is recommended
nor will information or parts be supplied by
Chattanooga Group. Any board component level
troubleshooting performed will be at sole risk and
liability of the Service Technician performing such
troubleshooting techniques.

33..

Once the PC Board has been determined as bad,
replace the board only with Chattanooga Group
OEM replacement parts and hardware.

11..

Certain tests require the use of special tools
and fixtures. These will be listed at the particular
test where they are required. Testing with any
other special tool or fixture other than those
stated could give erroneous readings or test
results. Always perform the tests exactly as stated
to ensure accurate results.

22..

Standard test equipment settings will be listed for
each test performed to aid in performing the test
to OEM standards and ensure proper readings.

33..

The troubleshooting and repair of the Fluido DHT
units, should be performed only by authorized
technicians trained and certified by Chattanooga
Group.
