VI. TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTICE: BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING, FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE START UP AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURE.

ALL INSTALLATION AND SERVICES MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED HEATING CONTRACTORS.

To assist you in troubleshooting this furnace, it is equipped with an integrated ignition control with diagnostics. These diagnostics evaluate what control system has experienced a failure and will activate a flashing light on the control in different sequences to help pinpoint the failure which has occurred.

For your convenience, Thermo Products has installed a sight glass in the blower door of this furnace. The number of flashes in groups should be observed through this sight glass and recorded before turning off power to the furnace. Turning off power to the furnace or removing the blower door which is equipped with a door interlock switch will reset the control. Should this occur, use the fault code retrieval process as described below.

To retrieve fault codes, push and release the “LAST ERROR” button for more than 1/5 second and less than 5 seconds. (Control will indicate this period by solid GREEN for 1/5 second to 5 seconds.) The LED will flash up to five stored fault codes, beginning with the most recent. If there are no fault codes in

However, an aneroid pressure gauge, in good working condition, capable of reading pressure changes of 0.05 in. W.G., or less, that was recently calibrated within the last year, is a satisfactory alternate. These two 2 devices will be considered as equivalent and interchangeable.
