TABLE 8-1. BOILER TROUBLESHOOTING

FAULT INDICATION

PROBABLE CAUSES

TROUBLESHOOTING/CORRECTIVE ACTION

AIRFLOW FAULT

DURING IGNITION

1. Blower stopped running due to thermal

or current overload

2. Blocked Blower inlet or inlet ductwork

3. Blocked Blower proof switch

4. Defective Blower proof switch



5. Defective blocked-air inlet switch



6. Loose temperature transmitter to

VFD’s analog input wire connection

7. Loose temperature sensor to

temperature transmitter wire
connection.

8. Defective temperature transmitter

9. Defective temperature sensor

10. Loose wire connection between the 4-

20 mA signal from I/O box to VFD
analog input

11. Defective I/O box

12. Wrong 4-20 mA output selection on

the control box

13. Defective air-fuel valve potentiometer

14. Missing VFD logic stick

15. Incorrect or missing analog output

from VFD to blower.

1. Check combustion blower for signs of excessive heat or high

current drain that may trip thermal or current overload devices.

2. Inspect the inlet to the combustion blower including any ductwork

leading up to the combustion blower for signs of blockage.

3. Remove the Blower proof switch and inspect for signs of

blockage, clean or replace as necessary.

4. Measure the Blower proof switch for continuity with the

combustion blower running. If there is an erratic resistance
reading or the resistance reading is greater than zero ohms,
replace the switch.

5. Measure the blocked-air inlet switch for continuity with the

combustion blower running. If there is an erratic resistance
reading or the resistance reading is greater than zero ohms,
replace the switch.

6. Check the actual inlet air temperature and measure voltage at

temperature transmitter and VFD analog input. Verify that the
voltage conforms to Table 8-3 for the inlet air temperature.

7. Refer to CORRECTIVE ACTION 7 and verify that the resistance

conforms to Table 8-3.

8. See CORRECTIVE ACTION 7.

9. See CORRECTIVE ACTION 8.

10. Measure amperage at the I/O box output and VFD analog input,

4mA equates to 0% fire rate and 20 mA equates to 100% fire
rate

11. See CORRECTIVE ACTION 11.

12. Check C-More configuration menu, mA OUT – Fire Rate should

be selected

13. Check air fuel valve position at 0%, 50% and 100% fire rates,

the position on the c-more barograph should match the valve

14. Confirm that the logic stick is securely inserted in the VFD

15. Measure DC voltage between VFD terminals B1 and T1 (see

Figure 8-4). Voltage should be between 2.0 and 5.0 VDC.
