Wait for recovery

60

Applies only to thermostats having on-board transformer.  
Polarity is wrong in this case.

Wait for recovery

Thermostat input higher than threshold.

61

Line voltage unstable - possibly too may heavy loads switching on and off causing 

erratic supply voltage.

Wait for recovery

62

Soft lockout: maximum number of retries exceeded.

Soft lockout

Soft lockout is reset after one hour if alarm reason disappears.

63

Soft lockout: maximum number of recycles exceeded.

Soft lockout

64

Soft Lockout - electronics failure. On-board self diagnostics detected error.

Soft lockout

65

Over temperature error.  Sensor measured temperature in excess of maximum 

allowable limit.

Soft lockout

 Note: Soft lockout time is 1 hour or manual reset. Hard lockout requires manual reset.

Ignition System Checks

STEP 1: 

Check ignition cable.

• Verify ignition cable does not run in contact with metal 

surfaces.

• Verify only factory supplied Ignition cable (or approved 

replacement) is used.

• Verify connections to ignition module and igniter or 

igniter-sensor are clean and tight.

• Verify ignition cable provides good electrical continuity.

STEP 2:

Verify ignition system grounding. Nuisance shutdowns are 

often caused poor or erratic grounding.
Common ground is required for module and pilot  burner/

igniter sensor.

— Check for good metal-to-metal contact between
  pilot burner bracket and the main burner.
— Check ground lead from GND (BURNER) terminal 

on module to pilot burner.  Verify connections are 

clean and tight. If wire is damaged or deteriorated, 

replace with No. 14-18 gauge, moisture-resistant, 

thermoplastic insulated wire with 105°C [221°F] 

minimum rating.

— Check ceramic 

fl

 ame rod insulator for cracks or 

evidence of exposure to extreme heat, which can 

permit leakage to ground. Replace pilot burner/igniter 

sensor and provide shield if necessary.

— If 

fl

 ame rod or bracket is bent out of position, restore 

to correct position.
