No:
→
step
1
step 2
Disconnect the plug-and-socket connection, see box 144.
step 3
Is the ionisation current still displayed?
Yes:
→
step

box 38
An ionisation current has been measured as soon as the burner shuts down.
Locking boiler-fault code
step 1
Connect a digital pressure gauge, see box 233 and 234. Open the gas cock and place the boiler into full-load
operation, see box 59 or box 13. Deactivate the heat requirement as per flue-gas test (box 13), and check to
see if the burner remains under pressure after the “heat requirement” symbol on the DBA control panel goes
out.
step 2
Is the burner still under pressure?
Yes:
→
step
4
No:
→
step
3
step 3
Check the ionisation electrode, see box 37.
step 4
Close the gas cock, see box 46. Remove the digital pressure gauge and close the burner-pressure
connection nipple. Open the gas cock, see box 59, and run the boiler at full load once more, see box 59 or
box 13. Deactivate heat requirement, see box 13, and check to see if the gas valve is still powered after the
“heat requirement” indicator goes out, see box 165, item 1 and 2.
step 5
Is the gas valve still powered?
Yes:
→
No:
→
step
6
step 6
Replace the gas valve, see box 174.
