TROUBLESHOOTING

TABLE 8-1. BOILER TROUBLESHOOTING – Continued

FAULT INDICATION

PROBABLE CAUSES

CORRECTIVE ACTION

INTERLOCK

OPEN

1. Interlock jumper not installed or

removed

2. Energy Management System does

not have boiler enabled.

3. Device proving switch hooked to

interlocks is not closed.

1. Check for a jumper properly installed across the interlock

terminals in the I/O box

2. If there are two external wires on these terminals check any

Energy Management system to see if they have the units
disabled (a jumper may be temporarily installed to see if the
interlock circuit is functioning).

3. Check that proving switch for any device hooked to the interlock

circuit is closing and that the device is operational.

LINE VOLTAGE

OUT OF PHASE

1. Line and Neutral switched in AC

Power Box.

2. Incorrect power supply transformer

wiring.

1. Check Line (hot) and Neutral in AC Power Box to ensure they

are not reversed

2. Check transformer wiring, in AC Power Box, against the power

box transformer wiring diagram to ensure it is wired correctly

LOW GAS

PRESSURE

1. Incorrect supply gas pressure.



2. Defective Low Pressure Gas Switch

1. Measure gas pressure upstream of the supply gas regulator with

the unit firing. Ensure it is at least 3.5” W.C. for FM gas train, or
4.0” W.C. for IRI gas train. Max. allowable pressure is 2 psig
(see para. 2.7.1).

2. Measure gas pressure at the low gas pressure switch. If it is

greater than 2.6” W.C., measure continuity across the switch and
replace if necessary.

LOW WATER

LEVEL

1. Insufficient water level in system

2. Defective water level circuitry.


3. Defective water level probe.

1. Check system for sufficient water level.

2. Test water level circuitry using the Control Box front panel LOW

WATER TEST and RESET buttons. Replace water level
circuitry if it does not respond.

3. Check continuity of probe end to the shell, change probe if there

is no continuity.

MODBUS COMM

FAULT

1. Boiler not seeing information from

Modbus network

1. Check network connections. If fault persists, contact qualified

Service Personnel.

PRG SWTCH CLOSED

DURING IGNITION

1. A/F Valve rotated open to purge and

did not rotate to ignition position



1. Start the unit. The Air/Fuel Valve should rotate to the purge

(open) position, then back to ignition position (towards closed)
during the ignition cycle. If the valve does not rotate back to the
ignition position, check the Air/Fuel Valve calibration. If
calibration is okay, the problem may be in the Air/Fuel Valve or
the Control Box. Refer fault to qualified service personnel.
