Resurrection of a CFEI 100 KVA Induction Furnace

John, at the moment I think the beast is winning !
This afternoon I wired a temporary 16 amp 415 volt three phase feed into the machine to try and run up the electronics and 'ping' the coil in the crucible to establish resonant frequency.
It starts the initialisation process then comes up with an error saying DEF - obviously more investigation required !
John Rudd:
Well it seems no amount of button pressing is going to fix it anytime soon.... :lol:
So that Green button should latch something? Or it is and the latch is dropping out?
Is the DEF error a shortened version of some French word as most of the wording on the panel looks French?
Pete.:
I reckon that seeing as the chiller is broke it means defrost :) :) :) :)
awemawson:
One issue I have sorted - I found a picture of when I pinged the coil back in 2006 and the L1 L2 L3 phase sequence indicator on the front panel is illuminated and the system says Pret (ready). So I have reversed two phases and now the indicator is illuminated :thumbup:
Unfortunately the system still says DEF which I suspect refers to Default values, so maybe it's lost a few parameters (which will be a nightmare to re-create!) however it's back up battery is still showing a steady 3.7 volts
The "electronique" indicator is not showing, but is on my picture from 2006 but I can find no reference in any of the documentation to say what it means. Note that the "micro" indicator IS illuminated which I take to mean that the microprocessor is running.
Note that the "electronique" indicator IS NOT illuminated during initialisation in the 2006 picture.
Note: Pictures below are from 2006

Défaut = fault. Par défault mean default!
Have you got any of the French docs?
Cheers, Matthew
