FAULT FINDING

Diagnostic Modes

In order to assist with the pinpointing
of a particular fault it is possible to
use the boiler display in a diagnostic
mode to interrogate the boiler about
the status of certain components.

Press the 

„i“

and 

„+“

buttons

below the display simultaneously.
The display will now show 

„d.00“

.

Use 

„+“

or 

„-“

buttons to scroll up

or down to the desired diagnosic
number.

Press 

„i“

button to display the 

corresponding diagnosic 
information.

If necessary, you can now alter the
value by pressing 

„+“

or 

„-“

buttons. (When altering values 
display will flash). Press and hold
the "i” button to save the value to
memory, when the value is saved
the display will stop flashing.

Diagnosic mode is cancelled as 
follows:

Press the 

„i“

and 

„+“

buttons 

simultaneously

or

Do not press any key for 
approximately four minutes. The
display will now revert back to 
showing the current flow 
temperature.
