Bed won't cut off - TanToday

salon manager · 19th November 2009, 10:16 AM

I have a Tan America VIP3200VHO bed that was on and running when I opened the salon this morning that wasn't on when I closed last night. The T-max timer is set to 0 and the manual plug is not plugged in. How could the bed have turned itself on? And, how do I turn it off? Everything I've tried hasn't worked.

Kill the breaker.

I have pressed the emergency stop button to temporarily turn the bed off but I need to fix the problem so I can get the bed back in use.

Still, shut off the breaker until you can get it fixed.

Assuming you mean the lamps are on and not just the cooling fans, it might be that the main relay has fused in the closed or "On" position. As Navi suggests, try turning the circuit breaker off for about 30 seconds and then back on. If the beds starts running again, consider looking at the main relay.

was the bed melty or what? How long do you think it was running? Hours?

Most likely one of the contacts is stuck in the on position. If you open up the bed, there should be contacts that click on when the bed is running. If you have a defective/bad contact, it will stay on or not come on, or come on by itself if there is a power surge.

Most likely your problem.

didn't staple your tmax wire did you?

clubtan · 23rd November 2009, 07:31 PM

I think the real question remains. Is the bed/lamps running all the time or is it just the fans?
