1. Delayed Interlock Jumper not installed

or removed.

2. Device proving switch hooked to

interlocks is not closed

1. Check for a jumper properly installed across the delayed

interlock terminals in the I/O box.

2. If there are 2 external wires on these terminals, check to see if

an end switch for a device such as a pump, louver, etc. is tied
these interlocks. Ensure that the device and or its end switch
are functional. (jumper may be temporarily installed to test
interlock).

DIRECT DRIVE

SIGNAL FAULT

1. Direct drive signal is not present:

Not yet installed.
Wrong polarity.
Signal defective at source.
Broken or loose wiring.

2. Signal is not isolated (floating).

3. Control Box signal type selection

switches not set for correct signal type
(voltage or current).

1. Check I/O Box to ensure signal is hooked up.

Hook up if not installed.
If installed, check polarity.
Measure signal level.
Check continuity of wiring between source and boiler.

2. Check signal at source to ensure it is isolated.

ignitor outside the unit.

4. If there is no spark, check for 120VAC at the primary side to the

ignition transformer during the ignition cycle.

5. If 120VAC is not present, the IGST Board in the Control Box

may be defective. Refer fault to qualified service personnel.
