DICKSON Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full DICKSON product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Dickson Circular Chart Recorders
Mechanical and electronic circular chart recorders for temperature, humidity, and multi-parameter monitoring. Common issues include chart drive motor failures, pen arm sticking, humidity sensor drift, and worn chart clutches requiring bearing and drive train rebuilds.
Dickson Digital Data Loggers
Standalone and network-enabled temperature and humidity loggers with LCD display and memory. Typical faults include battery backup failure, sensor calibration drift, LCD display failure, and SD card read-write errors affecting data retrieval.
Dickson Temperature & Humidity Sensors
Analog and digital probe sensors and wall-mount transducers for environmental monitoring. Common failures include thermistor/RTD open circuits, capacitive humidity sensor contamination, signal conditioner IC burnout, and weatherproof connector corrosion.
Dickson Chart Drive and Motor Assemblies
Synchronous motors, gear trains, and clutch mechanisms for chart advancement in mechanical recorders. Failures stem from bearing wear, gear tooth shearing, worn timing belts, and clutch slip under load, requiring complete mechanical refurbishment.
Dickson Control & Alarm Modules
Relay modules, setpoint controllers, and alarm cards for triggered alerts on temperature excursions. Faults include contact oxidation in relay coils, capacitor leakage in timer circuits, and optocoupler failure in isolation circuits.
Dickson Interface & Communication Modules
RS-232, USB, and Ethernet converter modules for legacy Dickson equipment integration with SCADA systems. Issues include serial port IC failure, USB enumeration faults, and firmware corruption affecting data transmission protocols.

Common DICKSON Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in DICKSON equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Chart drive motor not advancing chart paper — Synchronous motor winding burnout or gear train seizure due to bearing wear. Dickson 24-hour and 7-day drives often fail after 5-10 years of continuous operation in warm, humid environments common in Indian pharma storage.
- ✓Humidity sensor reading stuck or drifting >10% RH — Capacitive sensor film contamination from airborne dust, chemical vapors, or condensation ingress in high-moisture environments. Dickson RH-1 and MS-1 probes are susceptible when protective caps are removed or sensors are exposed to corrosive fumes in pharmaceutical cleanrooms.
- ✓LCD display dark, illegible, or showing partial segments — LCD panel polarizer deterioration, backlight LED failure, or display driver IC short. Dickson Tracer and DL350 loggers often experience LCD fade after 5-7 years due to UV exposure or battery leakage into the display connector.
- ✓Data logger not recording or data unreadable on card removal — Micro-SD card slot oxidation preventing proper contact, or firmware corruption in the microcontroller due to power loss during write cycles. Dickson DL375 and DL380 units in Indian food cold chains often suffer sudden power interruptions affecting data integrity.
- ✓Relay alarm module not closing contacts on setpoint breach — Relay coil open winding, or stuck relay contacts from oxidation and corrosion. Dickson AR-1 and AR-2 modules in humid pharmaceutical and food storage environments suffer relay degradation, especially if switching inductive loads without proper arc suppression.
- ✓Temperature probe open circuit or erratic readings — RTD wire breakage at solder joints due to vibration or thermal cycling, or thermistor element fracture. Dickson TC-1 and RTD-1 probes used in moving conveyors and furnaces in Indian textile and rubber plants often experience mechanical stress leading to wire failure.

Frequently Asked Questions — DICKSON Repairs
Do you repair Dickson chart recorders and data loggers anywhere in India?+
Yes, absolutely. Synchronics repairs the entire Dickson product range including circular chart recorders, digital data loggers, temperature-humidity sensors, relay modules, and communication interfaces. We offer free door-to-door pickup across all Indian cities — Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and beyond. Repairs are completed at our Vadodara, Gujarat facility with 24-48 hour turnaround for most faults. We ship repaired units back to you within 3-5 working days.
My Dickson chart recorder motor won't advance the chart. Is it repairable?+
Yes, chart drive motors are one of the most common repairs Synchronics handles for Dickson equipment. Whether the issue is a burned-out motor winding, seized gear train, or worn bearing, we have the expertise and spare parts to restore your recorder. We disassemble the drive, identify the failure, replace worn components, re-lubricate, test the drive speed for accuracy, and return it ready for immediate deployment. Most drive repairs take 2-3 days and cost significantly less than buying a new recorder.
Can Synchronics repair my old Dickson recorder if it is 10+ years old?+
Yes. Synchronics specializes in repairing legacy and out-of-production Dickson equipment. Whether your recorder is 10, 20, or even 30+ years old, we have the technical knowledge, schematics, and sourced parts to bring it back to working condition. Many Indian pharmaceutical companies and food processors rely on older Dickson recorders because of their proven reliability, and we keep them operational. Bring it to us — we'll evaluate and provide a repair quote with no obligation.
Why is my Dickson humidity sensor reading drifting? Can it be calibrated?+
Humidity sensor drift is common after 3-5 years, especially in high-moisture or chemically corrosive environments. The issue is usually capacitive sensor film contamination or micro-moisture ingress. Synchronics can clean the sensor, re-calibrate it against our reference humidity chamber, and if the sensor element is damaged beyond recovery, we replace it with a genuine Dickson sensor head and re-certify across the full 0-100% RH range. We provide calibration certificates with every humidity sensor repair.
What is the typical cost and time for a Dickson repair at Synchronics?+
Repair costs depend on the fault and parts required. Minor issues like relay contact cleaning, sensor recalibration, or connector replacement may cost Rs. 2,000-5,000 and take 1-2 days. Major repairs like motor winding replacement or LCD panel replacement typically range Rs. 5,000-15,000 and take 3-5 days. We provide a detailed diagnostic report and repair quote upfront before proceeding. Express repairs are available for critical plant downtime — call our team for availability.
How do I send my DICKSON unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a DICKSON drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on DICKSON repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your DICKSON unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
