• System must be initialized
• Wiring between boilers and
BMS not correct
• Check outside air temperature and
system start temperature. System
start temperature should be higher
than outside air temperature for
boilers to run. See para. 4.3.3 and
4.3.5.
Initialize and test system (para. 5.5
and 5.6).
