FIRESTAR COMBUSTION CONTROLLER - VERSION 6.7 • OPERATION MANUAL

LED Display Alarm Definitions

The LED display will display an alarm message when abnormal conditions 

appear. If any of the following messages appear, take corrective action.

FIRE OUT

When the system is calling for heat, if the temperature in the Reaction 

Chamber has been below 300˚F for 60 minutes and does not rise more than 

5˚F, or after three hours even if the temperature is rising, the combustion 

fan will turn off and the primary air actuator will close. This alarm is reset by 

opening and closing the furnace door, or by turning the controller off and back 

on.

HIGH TEMP1

The temperature sensor connected to the FireStar combustion controller 

has detected that the water temperature is above 200˚F. The controller will 

continue to alternate between HIGH TEMP1, the water temperature, and the 

Reaction Chamber temperature until it senses that the water temperature has 

fallen below 195˚F.

HIGH TEMP2

The external high limit sensor has sensed that the water temperature is above 

200˚F and has disconnected power to the combustion fan and actuators. 

The controller will continue to alternate between HIGH TEMP2, the water 

temperature, and the Reaction Chamber temperature until it senses that the 

external sensor has reconnected power. This will normally happen when the 

sensor cools to 165˚F.

If this alarm occurs often, lower the water temperature setpoint.

LOW WATER

Check the water level at the sight gauge and, if necessary, add water according 

to the Water Quality and Maintenance section of the Owner’s Manual. If 

adding water does not clear the LOW WATER alarm, it can be temporarily 

overridden until a repair can be made (see the Setup Mode section, variable 

#18).

NOTE: If water is added to the outdoor furnace and/or system, the system water should 

be tested and 1650XL Inhibitor Plus should be added (if necessary) to maintain the 

recommended level of protection.
