the SPC-Elite either sees a short across the input terminals or the sensor reading is above its operating range. Remove the sensor

larger than the System Trim range, then the pressure or vacuum transducer is damaged. Remember
thatPressureandVacuumtransducersaresusceptibletostaticelectricity.Thus,reduceexcessive
manual handling prior to transducer installation.
Output Red Light does not come on at
the desired temperature:
Check the set point and differential values.
In a heating application, the Red light will
not come on until the sensor value drops
below the set point minus the differential.
In a cooling application, the Red light will
not turn off until the sensor value rises
above the set point plus the differential.
