.
Fuse blows out
When the plug is put
into the outlet.
Short circuit of transformer coil Unplug transformer connector (CN 7)
from burner controller, then measure
coil resistance values of two leads
If either of the values is 0Ω,
transformer is short-circuited
Replace a transformer
Standard:
MPX5 (white-red) - 230Ω
(purple-purple) - 6.3Ω
MPX1 (white-red) - 1.85kΩ
(purple-purple) - 6.3Ω
・
Without tester
Unplug transformer connector (CN 7)
from burner controller, then put plug
into AC outlet
If fuse doesn't blow out, transformer
is short-circuited
Short circuit of surge absorber
(SA1)
Gauge resistance at surge absorber
(SA1)
If resistance value is 0Ω, surge
absorber is short-circuited
Replace burner controller
Short circuit of pre-heater
Unplug transformer connector
, then
measure coil resistance values
MPX5 - about 735
Ω
MPX1 - about 2700
Ω
If resistance value is 0Ω, pre-heater
is short-circuited
Replace pre-heater
When the switch is
turned on.
Short circuit of fan motor coil
Unplug fan connector (CN 3) from
burner controller, then measure
resistance between terminals
If resistance value is 0Ω, fan coil is
short-circuited
Replace fan motor
Short circuit of igniter
Unplug igniter connector(CN 4) from
burner controller, then measure
resistance between terminals
If resistance value is 0Ω, primary
side of igniter is short-circuited
Replace igniter
・
Without tester
Unplug igniter connector (CN 4), and
then start operation
If fuse doesn't blow out, igniter is
short-circuited
Short circuit of solenoid valve
Unplug transformer connector
, then
measure coil resistance values
MPX5 - about 1.8kΩ
MPX1 - about 4.7kΩ
If resistance value is 0Ω, solenoid
valve is short-circuited
Replace solenoid valve
About 5 seconds
after turning on
Short circuit of fuel pump coil
Unplug fuel pump connector (CN 6)
from burner controller, then measure
resistance between terminals
If resistance value is 0Ω, fuel pump
coil is short-circuited
Replace fuel pump
・
Without tester
Unplug fuel pump connector (CN 6),
then turn on
If fuse doesn't blow out, pump coil
is short-circuited
About 20~30 seconds
after turning on
Short circuit of Blower motor
Unplug blower motor connector (CN
5) from burner controller, then
measure resistance between
terminals(4-5PIN)
If resistance value is 0Ω, blower
motor is short-circuited
Replace blower motor
