CHAPTER 5: 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

FAULT MESSAGES AND COMMON PROBLEMS 

 5.1 

When a fault occurs in the boiler plant, the ACS  flashes fault messages at 2-second intervals 
and the Fault Alarm (FLT ALARM) relay contacts are closed. The red 

FAULT

  indicator on the 

front panel will also light. To cancel the alarm (open relay contacts), press the 

CLEAR

 key on 

the ACS keypad. The 

FAULT

 indicator will turn off, however the fault message will continue to 

be displayed. 

The fault messages shown in Table 5-1 can appear when the ACS  is operating in any of the 
three basic modes (Constant Setpoint, Outdoor Reset, or Remote Setpoint). 

Table 5-2 lists some common problems that may occur during ACS  operation and provide 
Probable Causes and Corrective Action for each listed Probable Cause. 

TABLE 5-1:  Fault Messages 

Fault Message 

Description & Possible Cause 

OUTSIDE AIR TEMP 

NOT CONNECTED 

  Open outside air temp. sensor:  resistance greater than 240K ohms 

(less than -40°F) 

  Shorted outside air temp. sensor:  resistance less than 1K ohms 

(greater than 200°F) 
No sensor connected 

Note:  Displays only in Remote Setpt and Constant 

Setpoint modes. I 

OUTSIDE AIR TEMP 

SENSOR ERROR 

When in Outdoor Reset Mode, the outside air temperature sensor is 

either open, shorted, or not connected. 

 

HEADER SENSOR 

ERROR 

  Open header sensor:  resistance greater than 240K ohms (less 

than  -40°F) 

  Shorted header sensor:   resistance less than 240 ohms (over 

300°F) 
Sensor not installed 

INTERLOCK 1 ERROR 

Interlock 1 is open 

INTERLOCK 2 ERROR 

Interlock 2 is open 

HIGH DT 

(next to 

RETURN 

TEMP

 reading) 

The Delta-T range has been exceeded by 18°F. The system must cool 
down to below “Header Temp + Delta-T” before the BMS will return to 
normal operation. 

NOTE 

If upon startup, the system is locked out because the Header 
temperature is more than “Delta-T + 18°F” above the return 
temperature, first set the RETURN SENSOR MODE to OFF and 
allow the system to warm up before setting it back to NORMAL. 
This will prevent the boilers from cycling too much at cold 
startup.
