Error Conditions and Checklist

Error

Description

E012

Loss of flame

If the system detects a loss of flame during combustion, the system stops the gas supply and attempts to restart.

Then, the system adds the instance to the flame loss count. If flame loss occurs 20 times consecutively, error code

012E is displayed (manually cleared) on the front panel.

Checklist

1.  Use a manometer to measure the gas supply pressure (NG: 17-25 mbar, LP: 25-35 mbar)
2.  Check the gas meter rating.
3.  Check if the gas orifice is obstructed.
4.  Check if the PCB is working correctly.

Is the boiler’s supply gas

pressure correct?

Check the connections

Test the gas pressure

Gas pressure

Natural Gas: 17-25 mbar

LP Gas: 25-35 mbar

Yes
