Additional Notes

888

10s L/O Board Failure 

(Up to 10 sec @ power up)

Verify 24 VAC signal input at connector J6.

Off

Status

UP Mode: Burner state = Off

Normal Operation

Pur

Status UP Mode: Burner state = Purge

Ign

Status UP Mode: Burner state = Ignition

HEA

Status UP Mode: Burner state = Warmup

Run

Status UP Mode: Burner state = Run

rEt

Status UP Mode: Burner state = Retry 

(with 

A01 

or 

A02

)

Retry delay following either a failed ignition or a flame loss.

A01

Alert Failed ignition attempt

A02

Alert Lost Flame

Ignition was successful but then flame disappeared.

A03

Alert

Insufficient Combustion Air

Blocked vent with modulator position de-rated by >20% from 

Fire Rate Input (demand) setting.

A04

Alert Limited Low Fire (due to Lost Flame Auto-

Adaptation)

Flame loss at low fire results in an auto-adjustment limit of 

the burner turndown by adjusting the minimum modulation 

voltage during the rest of the current cycle or until a CPU 

reset.

A05

Alert Weak Flame Signal

Flame presence signal of less than 1.5μA indicates an aged 

flame rod.

A07

Alert Loss of Inducer Motor Control

The Air Pressure is not modulating down at minimum 

inducer drive.

A08

Alert Air Sensor Null Pressure Check out-of-tolerance

The Air Pressure sensor zero reading appears to be out-of-

tolerance.

A11

Alert Failed Ignition – Split Manifold

Failed Ignition, Split manifold burner, retries exhausted.

A15

Alert Weak Flame Signal – split manifold

Weak Flame Signal, one or more split-manifold staged 

burners.

E01

1hr L/O Failed Ignition

Four failed ignition attempts have occurred.

E02

10s L/O Primary Limit Failure

Verify Primary Limit input at connector J8 and fuse at F1.

E03

10s L/O Modulation Valve Failure

The Valve Actuator did not reach a Park or Full On position.

E04

30s L/O Air Sensor Failure - 

Pressure Reading Low

Includes air switch failure to open during pre-purge switch 

check, includes

insufficient air lockout due to blocked vent.

E05

30s L/O Air Sensor Failure - 

Pressure Reading High

Includes air switch failure to close during pre-purge switch 

check.

E08

10s L/O Improper Flame

E09

  No R-W Enable

An R-W open circuit is preventing the control from operating 

on a non-zero Firing Rate Demand or Firing Rate Input.

E13

10s L/O Open Fuse

EId

10s L/O Invalid I.D. Plug Installed
