Limited Warranty and Product Return Procedure
If troubleshooting becomes necessary with the Two Stage Boiler Control 255, follow the testing procedure in step four of the installation
procedure on page 2 of this brochure.
If the display window is flashing “Err” and the outdoor pointer, the outdoor sensor is either open or short circuit. The control is
programmed to assume an outdoor temperature of 32
°
F (0
°
C) and control the supply temperature accordingly. If the display window
is flashing “Err” and the supply pointer, the supply sensor is either open or short circuit. If this type of fault occurs, the control will turn
off its relays in order to shut down the heating equipment it is controlling.
If you do not think the control is operating properly, check to see that the settings have been made correctly and that the problem is
not a result of external causes. Make sure that all wiring connections are solid and the sensors are correctly located.
