SL 10-85 G3, SL 14-115 G3, SL 20-160 G3, SL 30-199 G3 MODULATING GAS BOILERS
5.2 ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
This section details the method for troubleshooting the non-standard electronic
components on the boiler including the electronic differential air pressure sensor and the
temperature sensors.
5.2.1 Temperature Sensors
The resistance of the temperature sensors varies inversely with temperature. To test,
measure the temperature of the sensed environment and compare with the value derived
from the measurement of the resistance (obtained by connecting a good quality test meter
capable of measuring up to 5,000 kΩ (5,000,000Ω) at the controller end of the sensor
lead).
To obtain a resistance reading, remove power to the boiler. For the supply water and
return water temperature sensors, remove the wire leads by disconnecting their respective
Molex connectors. Place multi-meter probes into the sensor’s female Molex connector
socket. Do not apply voltage to the sensor as damage may result.
