TABLE 8-1. BOILER TROUBLESHOOTING – Continued

FAULT INDICATION

PROBABLE CAUSES

CORRECTIVE ACTION

SSOV FAULT

DURING PURGE

See SSOV SWITCH OPEN

SSOV FAULT

DURING RUN

1. SSOV switch closed for 15 seconds

during run.

1. Replace SSOV actuator.

SSOV RELAY

FAILURE

1. SSOV relay failed on board.

1. Ensure that Neutral and Earth Ground are connected at the

source and there is no voltage measured between them.

Measurement should indicate near zero or no more than a few

millivolts.

2. Check the SSOV power wiring.
3. Press CLEAR button and restart unit. If fault persists, replace

Ignition/Stepper (IGST) Board.

SSOV

SWITCH OPEN

1. Actuator not allowing for full closure

of gas valve

2. SSOV powered when it should not

be

3. Defective Switch or Actuator

4. Incorrectly wired switch.

1. Observe operation of the Safety Shut-Off Valve (SSOV) through

indicator on the Valve actuator and ensure that the valve is fully

and not partially closing.

2. If the SSOV never closes, it may be powered continuously.

Close the gas supply and remove power from the unit. Refer

fault to qualified service personnel.

3. Remove the electrical cover from the SSOV and check switch

continuity. If the switch does not show continuity with the gas

valve closed, either adjust or replace the switch or actuator.

4. Ensure that the SSOV Proof of Closure switch is correctly wired.

STEPPER MOTOR

FAILURE

1. Air/Fuel Valve out of calibration.
2. Air/Fuel Valve unplugged.
3. Loose wiring connection to the

stepper motor.

4. Defective Air/Fuel Valve stepper

motor.

5. Defective Power Supply Board or

fuse

6. Defective IGST Board

1. Refer to GF-112 and perform Stepper Test (para. 6.3.5) to

ensure stepper motor rotates properly between the 0% (fully

closed) and 100% (fully open) positions. Verify that the VALVE

POSITION bargraph and the dial on the Air/Fuel Valve track

each other to indicate proper operation. If operation is not

correct, perform the Stepper Feedback Calibration (GF-112,

para. 6.2.1).

2. Check that the Air/Fuel Valve is connected to the Control Box.
3. .Inspect for loose connections between the Air/Fuel Valve motor

and the wiring harness.

4. Replace stepper motor.
5. Check DS1 & DS2 LEDs on Power Supply Board. If they are not

steady ON, replace Power Supply Board.

6. Check “Heartbeat” LED DS1 and verify it is blinking ON & OFF

every second. If not, replace IGST Board.
