3. Troubleshooting 

3.1. Overview 

The electronic board consists of a flash micro controller programmed to 
monitor the timing and safety function of the heater.  Each time the 
board is energized by a call for heat, it will check its own circuits for any 

problems.  Should a problem exist, the board will shut down. 

 You can easily monitor your HURRICANE

®

 SCH25 heater’s operation by 

checking the electronic control box.  Any fault or problem will be 
immediately picked up by the control board and an LED diagnostic code 
indicator will light up to pinpoint the fault.  Once the fault has been 

corrected, it can be reset by switching the service or remote switch OFF, 
then ON again.  The diagnostic codes are described below. 

3.2.  Power On (Green) 

The POWER ON indicator is lit whenever the service switch on the control 
box is ON and if the remote panel is switched ON, a small red LED near 
the lower right hand side of the digit on the remote panel will also glow.  
If this light does not come on, check to see if the service switch is ON. 

If the power on light does NOT come on: 

 

Check for a blown fuse. 

3.3.  Burner On  

No diagnostic code will be displayed on the main board or the remote 

panel when the burner is ON and operating normally.  A small red LED 
will glow near the lower right hand side of the digital on the remote 
panel indicating it is ON. 

3.4. 

V

 - Service Switch Off 

The service switch is switched OFF.  

 

The burner will shut down if it has been running.  

 

The diagnostic code, 

V

 will be displayed.  

 

The control board will purge the system with the combustion fan and 

circulating pump for two minutes.  At the end of the purge period, the 
system will power down and will go into a low power consumption 

mode (10mA max.).  There will not be any display or LEDs lit. 

3.5. 

9

 - Remote Switch Off  

The remote panel is switched OFF.  

 

The burner will shut down.
