Troubleshooting Tips

1. The Hades™ 2 has no power? Verify power source is providing 120 Volts

A/C. Reset the circuit breaker on the Hades™ 2 by turning OFF the unit, than
turn ON.

2. What if the recycle timer is not keeping the right time? The CR1220 (3

Volt) Lithium battery, located on the internal circuit board that is connected
to the inside of the front faceplate, may need to be replaced. The normal
lifespan of the batteries is approximately 5 years.

3. Why is the display showing ‘Hot_F’? The Maximum Temp Setting has

been exceeded. When this occurs, the LIGHTS ON outputs will remain off,
until the Maximum Temp Setting function is reset by holding the Enter/Reset
button for approximately 2 seconds.

4. Why is the display showing, ‘Err.TEP’? The remote sensor is not connect-

ed or not communicating with the Hades™ 2. Unhook sensor from Hades™ 2,
than reconnect it to the controller. Verify that the cable is not compromised
and that the remote sensor has power.

5. Does the temperature sensor need to be calibrated? No. The tempera-

ture sensor is digital and there is no need for calibration.

6. My temperature is reading quite high? Verify that the sensor is not in a

location with direct exposure to intense light and that there is air circulating
freely around it.
