UIM LED’s
The three lED’s to the right of the lCD indicate the status
of the overall system. The red lED indicates that a fault has
been detected and the system has stopped running. It is on
continuously for soft faults and flashes for hard faults. The
Yellow lED indicates that the boiler is in a ready mode waiting
for a call for heat command. When on continuously the Green
lED indicates that the system is in the heating mode. If it is
flashing it indicates that the UIM is in the initialization mode
and the touch switches are being calibrated.
The vF boiler has a display on the UIM which is a scaled display
indicating the current firing rate of the boiler (25% to 100%).
Fault Messages and Troubleshooting Guide
The EMC 5000 modulation system does excessive self-diagnostics
and displays detected faults on the UIM display in an easy to read
manner. There are approximately 80 different faults that can be
detected. Some of the faults are caused by internal problems and
some by external causes. The faults create different types of system
lockouts (shut down). Hard lockouts are serious problems that
require the user to manually restart the system. Soft lockouts can
be reset by the user or after 60 minutes the system will automatically
clear the error and restart. Auto Reset lockouts will monitor the
cause of the fault and it the fault clears itself the system resets
itself. The following table shows the fault messages and some
possible troubleshooting hints:
