F10

This

 fault that occurs when there is a problem with the gas valve

 or PCB.

As 

the burner

 shuts down

 the

 solenoids on

 the gas valve

. These

 close one

 at a 

time

until

 the fl ame

 extinguishes

. If the fl ame

 remains on for

 5 seconds

 the PCB will

repeat the shut down by

 turning off

 the solenoid that failed the 1st time.

If a flame continues to be detected after the 2nd shut down sequence the boiler

will lock out.

 
Possible causes:

 PCB failure 

(one of the electrovalve relay is broken)

- Gas valve failure

F1

2

Occurs when the 

return

 t

h

ermistor is out of range, open or short-circuited

If this fault

 ocours

 the heating mode will work norma

l

ly and the DHW mode will

also work but using the heating t

h

ermistor as reference to heat the DHW.

This fault

 will

 auto-reset when the t

h

ermistor

 is

 in range.

 

F13

It´s a failure of the heating t

h

ermistor, that it is out of range, open or short-circuited.

If this fault occurs, the boiler blocks. This fault auto-reset , when the t

h

ermistor

 returns

 

within normal operating range.

Possible causes:

- Heating thermistor failure

Faulty PCB

- Minimum very high

NC

No Comunication. It’s a comunication error between main control circuit and front 
panel circuit.

NOTE: Apart from the failure codes, the word “Err” may appear on the control panel.

Meaning: If it appears on the 4 digit display, it means that there is no communication

between the control card and the control panel card.
