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.
