ROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

• Main valve is not closed.

• Air pressure switch has not made

contact.

• High gas pressure switch has tripped.

• Low gas pressure switch has tripped.

• Malfunction of flame safeguard system

such as a shorted-out flame sensor
or electrical noise in the sensor line.

• Purge cycle not completed.

• Main power is off.

• No power to control unit.

• Improper grounding in system.

• Improperly adjusted air switch.

• Air switch either shorted or wired

wrong.

• A faulty scanner.

• Improperly connected sensor wires.

• Electrical interference from other

current carrying wires.

Cannot initiate start sequence

Scrambled messages on remote
display.

“UNSAFE AIR  SHORT”  message
appears on display.

Burner flame fails but no flame
failure indication occurs.

Check proof-of-valve-closure switch.

Check air pressure switch adjustment.

Check air filter.

Check blower rotation.

Check outlet pressure from blower.

Check incoming gas pressure; adjust
gas pressure if necessary.

Check pressure switch setting and
operation.

Check incoming gas pressure; adjust
gas pressure if necessary.

Check pressure switch setting and
operation.

Have qualified electrician investigate
and rectify.

Check flame safeguard system, or
purge timer.

Make sure power is on to control
system.

Call qualified electrician to
investigate.

Check grounding in system.

Check air switch settings.

Check wiring to air switch.

Check scanner as explained in
checklists in “Maintenance” portion
of this Section.

Check wiring diagram on page 26
as well as appropriate sensor
information in Section 7.

Check Note information on page
27 regarding sensor wiring.
