PROBLEM 5: BURNERS LIGHT WITH HEATING DEMAND BUT UNIT SHUTS DOWN
PREMATURELY (CONT.)
Condition
Possible Cause
Corrective Action/Comments
5.3
− Combustion air inducer energizes
with a heating demand.
− Burners light.
− Roll−out switch trips during the
heating demand.
Diagnostic lights flash roll out fail
5.3.1
Unit is firing above 100% of the
nameplate input.
ACTION 1 −
Check that the manifold pressure
matches value listed on nameplate. See installa-
tion instructions for proper procedure.
ACTION 2 −
Verify that the installed orifice size
match the size listed on the nameplate or installa-
tion instructions.
ACTION 3 −
Check the input rate to verify rate
matches value listed on nameplate.
− Diagnostic lights flash roll−out fail-
ure.

5.3.2
Gas orifices leak at the manifold
connection.
ACTION 1 −
Tighten orifice until leak is sealed.
NOTE:
Be careful not to strip orifice threads.
ACTION 2 −
Check for gas leakage at the
threaded orifice connection. Use approved meth-
od for leak detection (see unit instructions).

LED#2−Slow Flash
5.3.3
Insufficient flow through the heat
exchanger caused by a sooted or
restricted heat exchanger.
ACTION 1
− Check for sooting deposits or other
restrictions in the heat exchanger assembly.
Clean assembly as outlined in instruction manu-
al.
ACTION 2
− Check for proper combustion. See
IV− Heating System Service Checks section G−.
5.3.4
Burners are not properly located in
the burner box.
ACTION 1 −
Check that the burners are firing into
the center of the heat exchanger openings. Cor-
rect the location of the burners if necessary.
5.4
−
Combustion air inducer energizes
with a heating demand.

Poor Venting
ACTION 1
−Check vent pipe and remove any ob-
structions
ACTION 2 −
Check for correct exhaust vent
installation. See instructions

− Burners light roughly and the unit
fails to stay lit.
− Diagnostic lights flash watchguard

5.4.2
Improper burner cross−overs
ACTION 1 −
Remove burner and inspect the
cross−overs for burrs, or any restriction or if
crossover is warped. Remove restriction or re-
place burners.

Burrs in gas orifices
ACTION 1 −
Remove gas orifices and inspect.
Remove any burrs that are present or replace ori-
fice.

Prove Switch opens 5 times during a
single demand
ACTION 1 −
Inspect vent pipe installation and for
any restriction. Remove restriction.
ACTION 2 −
Check prove switch reliability.

5.5.1
Loose sensor wire connection causes
intermittent loss of flame signal.
ACTION 1 −
Check that the sensor is properly lo-
cated.
ACTION 2 −
Check that the sense wire is properly
attached to both the sensor and the control. Pay
extra attention to the pin connectors.

ACTION 1 −
Check for proper ground and repair
as necessary.
