EPX1  black-black (thick):

approx. 3kΩ

EPX5  black-black (thick):

approx. 4kΩ

 

・Without multimeter

EPX1  blue-blue: approx.

400Ω

EPX5  blue-blue: approx.

80Ω

 

・Without multimeter

(Cord color & Standard value)

(Cord color & Standard value)

Heater cannot start up (heater does not work at all with switching on)

  About 5 seconds after turning on operation switch

  About 3 seconds after turning on operation switch

Fuse is blowing out

Find a cause(s) of blown
fuse and solve it,(refer to
#1-8), then replace with a
new fuse

  《How to replace a fuse》

Solenoid valve of fuel
pump is short-circuited

Replace a fuel pump

  No lamp is lit

Measure voltage of AC
outlet.
Standard: AC230/120V
(or plug in another power
tool and see if it works)

If it shows 0V, power cable
is not receiving electricity.
(or if under 90% of
standard, could be power
shortage)

Plug into a working outlet

Power source is not
supplied

Ignition transformer is
short-circuited

Disconnect ignition
transformer connector (CN
12) from burner control,
then measure resistance
between terminals

If the fuse is intact, the
ignition coils is short-
circuited

Disconnect ignition
transformer connector (CN
12), and then start
operation

Disconnect ignition
transformer cord from
electrode, then measure its
resistance

If it shows 0Ω, the coil of

ignition transformer is
short-circuited
(Cord color & Standard value)  black-black (fine): few M

Ω

Replace an ignition
transformer

If it shows 0Ω, the coil of

ignition transformer is
short-circuited

Replace an ignition
transformer

(Cord color & Standard value)

Fuel pump is short-
circuited

If it shows 0Ω, the fuel

pump coil is short-circuited

Disconnect fuel pump
connector (CN 14) from
circuit board, then measure
resistance between
terminals

Replace a fuel pump

If fuse is intact, the fuel
pump coil is short-circuited

Disconnect fuel pump
connector (CN 14), then
turn on

  At the time of changing to low combustion

Disconnect fuel pump
connector (CN 14) from
circuit board, then measure
resistance between
terminals

If it shows 0Ω, the fuel

pump coil is short-circuited

8

Replace a fuel pump

EPX5  yellow-yellow:

approx. 700Ω

EPX1  yellow-yellow:

approx. 3.3kΩ

Take fuse out from fuse
box, and then check each
lead with circuit tester

If circuit tester reads ∞Ω,

fuse blows out

Replace an ignition
transformer
