Note:

 The boiler may start-up automatically if the 

anti-freeze mode is activated, (item 13 Fig. 2-1). 

Also, the boiler can operate for a brief period 

of time after a demand for domestic hot water 

in order to return the domestic hot water store 

back to temperature.

Important:

 With the boiler in stand-by mode 

(

) hot water cannot be produced and the 

safety systems cannot be guaranteed, such as 

pump  anti-block,  anti-freeze  and  three  way 

anti-block.

2.6  FAULT SIGNALS.

The Alpha InTec boiler signals any faults by the 

flashing symbol (item 5 in Fig. 2-1) along with 

'ERRxx' on the staus display (item 6). Where 'xx' 

corresponds to the error code described in the 

following table.

Ignition failure.

 The boiler lights automatically 

with  each  demand  for  central  heating  or 

domestic hot water. If it does not light within 10 

seconds, the boiler remains in stand-by for 30 

seconds, tries again and if the second attempt 

fails it will go into 'ignition block' (ERR01). To 

eliminate 'ignition block' the Reset button 'C' 

must be pressed. The fault can be reset 5 times 

• 

domestic hot water priority function 

By 

pressing button 'B' the DHW priority function 

is deactivated, which is marked by the switch-

off of the symbol (item 15 in Fig. 2-1) on the 

display. The disabled function keeps the water 

contained in the storage tank at a temperature 

of 20°C for 1 hour, giving the priority to central 

heating.

• 

Functioning with external sensor (Fig. 2-6) 

optional. 

In the case of a system with optional 

external sensor, the boiler flow temperature 

for central heating is managed by the external 

sensor depending on the external temperature 

measured (Par. 1.5). It is possible to modify 

the flow temperature from -15°C to +15°C 

with  respect  to  the  adjustment  curve  (Fig. 

1-4 Offset value). This correction, which can 

be activated using the selector switch (item 

3) is kept active for any external temperature 

measured.  The  modification  of  the  offset 

temperature is indicated on the display (item 7). 

The temperature indicated on the display (item 

4) is the current flow temperature and after a 

few seconds from the modification it is updated 

with the new correction. 'SET' appears on the 

status display (Fig. 2-6). By turning the selector 

switch (item 3) in a clockwise direction the 

temperature increases and in an anti-clockwise 

direction it decreases.

consecutively, after which the function disabled 

for at least one hour. One attempt is allowed 

every hour for a maximum of 5 attempts. By 

switching the boiler on and off the 5 attempts 

are  re-acquired.  On  commissioning  or  after 

extended  inactivity  it  may  be  necessary  to 

eliminate the 'ignition fault'. If this phenomenon 

occurs frequently, contact a qualified engineer 

for assistance.

Safety thermostat fault (overheating).

 During 

operation, if a fault causes excessive overheating 

of the boiler, or a fault occurs in the flame control 

section, an overheating fault is triggered in the 

boiler (ERR02). To eliminate 'overheating fault' 

the Reset button 'C' must be pressed. If this 

phenomenon occurs frequently, call a qualified 

engineer for assistance.

Flue safety thermostat fault.

 This occurs in 

the case of partial internal obstruction (due to 

the presence of lime scale) or external blockage 

(combustion  residues)  to  the  combustion 

chamber. To eliminate the 'flue thermostat fault' 

the Reset button 'C' must be pressed. Call a 

qualified engineer to remove the obstructions.

Short circuit or bad connection.

 This occurs 

in the case of faults to the safety thermostat 

(overheating)  or  fault  in  the  flame  sensing 

control. The boiler does not start and a qualified 

engineer must be called.

Flow sensor fault. 

If the board detects a fault 

with the system NTC flow sensor, the boiler will 

not start. Call a qualified egineer for assistance.

Maximum  number  of  resets  reached.

  The 

maximum number of 5 resets has been reached. 

Refer to previos paragraph - 

Ignition failure

.

Insufficient system pressure. 

Low water pressure 

inside the central heating system is detected and 

prevents the boiler operating. Check the boiler 

pressure gauge (item 1, Fig. 2-1) is between 1 

and 1.2 bar. Restore to the correct pressure if 

necessary and check for leaks.

Storage tank sensor fault.

 If the board detects 

a fault with the storage tank sensor, the boiler 

will not produce domestic hot water. A qualified 

engineer must be called.

Configuration error.

 If the board detects a fault 

in the electric wiring, the boiler will not start. If 

normal conditions are restored the boiler restarts 

without having to be reset. If the fault persists, 

contact a qualified engineer for assistance.

Fan fault.

 This occurs if the fan has a mechanical 

or electrical fault. To eliminate the 'fan fault' 

the  Reset  button  'C'  must  be  pressed.  If  the 

fault persists, contact a qualified engineer for 

assistance.

Flame sensing fault.

This occurs in case of a 

leak on the detection circuit or fault in the flame 

control unit. The boiler can be reset in order 

to allow a new ignition attempt. If the boiler 

does not start, contact a qualified engineer for 

assistance.

Return sensor fault.

 In this condition the boiler 

does not correctly control the pump if set at 

'Auto'. The boiler continues functioning but to 

eliminate the fault, contact a qualified engineer 

for assistance.

Set central heating flow temperature  with

 external sensor (optional)

Winter operating mode with external

sensor (optional)

During a request for central heating 'CH ON' 

appears on the status indicator (item 6) and at 

the same time as burner lights the flame presence 

display switches on (item 8) together with the 

output scale next to it. The displays (items 7 and 

9) indicate the instantaneous outlet temperature 

from the primary heat exchanger. In the central 

heating mode, if the temperature of the water 

contained in the system is sufficient to heat the 

radiators, the boiler will only function with the 

activation of the boiler pump.

From  this  moment  the  boiler  operates 

automatically. With no demand for heat (central 

heating or domestic hot water) the boiler goes 

into 'stand-by' mode, equivalent to the boiler 

being powered without the boiler alight.
