TROUBLESHOOTING
MVB Error Codes
If any of the sensors detect an abnormal condition or
an internal component fails during the operation of the
MVB, the display may show the error. This code may
either be the result of a temporary condition in which
case the display will revert to its normal readout when
the condition is corrected, or it may be the result of a
condition that the controller has evaluated as not safe
to restart the unit. In this case, the unit control will be
locked out, requiring the maintenance person to man-
ually reset the control by pressing and releasing the
RESET key.
Heater Errors
When an error condition occurs, the controller will dis-
play an error code on the display module. These error
codes and several suggested corrective actions are
included in the MVB Fault Text section on the following
page.
Heater Faults
1. When a fault condition occurs, the controller will
flash a red light on the PIM™ and display the error
code on the user interface. The alarm output will
also be activated. Most fault conditions will also
cause the boiler pump to run in an attempt to cool
the unit.
