Manometer connections

Usually indicates reversed polarity of 120 VAC power wires.

 

 

 

 

POWER and TSTAT CIRC lights flashing

 

 

Usually indicates stray voltage on external thermostat circuit

 

 

wires (usually due to miswired 3-wire zone valve).

 

 

POWER and PRESS SWITCH lights flashing

 

 

Usually indicates pressure switch is closed when it should

 

 

not be, or pressure switch failed to close within 5 minutes of

 

 

inducer starting.

 

 

POWER and FLAME lights flashing

 

 

Usually indicates false flame sense or flame sensed when it

 

 

should not be there.

 

Control indicator lights —

 

NON-LOCKOUT modes

 

POWER light on and FLAME light flashing

 

Usually indicates pilot flame was not established within 15

 

seconds from application of spark. Control will flash light, but

 

will continue to cycle indefinitely until flame is established or

 

problem is corrected.

 

POWER light on and PRESS SWITCH light flashing

 

Usually indicates pressure switch opened during the run

 

cycle.

 

Troubleshooting the control module

 

See Figure 38, page 50, for location of harness plug receptacles

 

and plugs on the control module.

Solder or water splatter between

 

plugs and circuit board can cause

 

improper operation of control mod-

 

ule. Place a shield over the boiler

 

internal controls and components

 

during installation. Failure to com-

 

ply could result in severe personal

 

injury, death or substantial property

 

damage.

 

Make sure ground wiring is in-

 

stalled per wiring diagram. Good

 

grounding is extremely important

 

for proper operation.

LOCKOUT modes

See Charts 1 through 7 in this section for detailed trouble- shooting procedures.

To reset control after a lockout, turn off power at the 120 VAC service switch or turn down all thermostats. Wait 45 seconds. Then restore power or call for heat.
