COMPONENT VALUES & CHARACTERIS-
TICS

APPLIANCE STATUS LED AND FAULT CODES

When the boiler detects a temporary fault condition, the ap-

propriate led indication is shown. If/when the fault is final, the 

pump will perform a 60-second post circulation and red LED 
will be illuminated. See table on page. 4.

7.6 EXTERNAL FAULTS

Before carrying out any faultfinding or component replacement, 

ensure the fault is not attributable to any aspect of the installation.

 No heating

 Fault   

Possible cause 

 

Red led fixed

 

Check gas supply, check flue  

 

system, check polarity 

7.7 ELECTRICAL CHECKS

Any electrical checks must be carried out by a suitably quali-

fied person.

7.7.1 EARTH CONTINUITY TEST

Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, and using a 
suitable multi-meter carry out a resistance test. Connect test 
leads between an appliance earth point and the earth wire of 
the appliance supply cable. The resistance should be less than 
1 OHM. If the resistance is greater than 1 OHM check all earth 
wires and connectors for continuity and integrity.

7.7.2 SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK

Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, and using a 
suitable multi-meter, carry out a short circuit test between the 
Live & Neutral connections at the appliance terminal strip. 

Repeat above test on the Live & Earth connections at the ap

-

pliance terminal strip.

NOTE

Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is in-
dicated, a detailed continuity check will be required to trace 
the fault. A visual inspection of components may also assist 
in locating the fault.

7.7.3 POLARITY CHECK

With the appliance connected to the electrical supply and us-
ing a suitable multimeter, carry out the following voltage tests:

• 

connect test leads between the Live & Neutral connections 
at the appliance terminal strip. The meter should read ap-
proximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next stage. If not, see 
7.7.4.

• 

connect test leads between the Live & Earth connections 
at the appliance terminal strip. The meter should read ap-
proximately 230V ac. If so proceed to next stage. If not, see 
7.7.4.

• 

connect test leads between the Neutral & Earth connections 
at the appliance terminal strip. The meter should read ap-
proximately 0 – 15Vac. If so polarity is correct. If not, see 
7.7.4.

7.7.4 REVERSED POLARITY OR SUPPLY FAULT

Repeat  the  above  tests  at  the  appliance  isolator,  if  testing 

reveals correct polarity and/or supply at the isolator, re-check 
wiring and connections between the isolator and the appliance. 
If tests on the isolator also reveal reversed polarity or a supply 
fault, consult the local electricity supplier for advice.

7.7.5 RESISTANCE TO EARTH CHECK

Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply, and using a 
suitable multi-meter carry out a resistance test. Connect test 
leads between the Live & Earth connections at the appliance 

terminal strip. If the meter reads other than infinity there is a 

fault that must be isolated, carry out a detailed continuity check 
to identify the location of the fault.
These series of checks must be carried out before attempting 

any faultfinding procedures on the appliance. On completion 

of any task that required the disconnection and re-connection 
of any electrical wiring or component, these checks must be 
repeated.

7.8  FAULT FINDING

Before  attempting  any  faultfinding,  the  electrical  checks  as 

detailed in 7.7 must be carried out.  Isolate the appliance from 
the electrical supply.

Disconnect any external controls from terminal plug (CN1 fig. 

42), and insert a link-wire between the two wires at the ‘TA’ 
connections.

NOTE

Restore the electrical supply to the boiler and turn the selector 

switch to the on position. The boiler should now function as 
described in section 7. Should the boiler fail to respond, the 
internal fuses and connectors should be checked to ensure 
integrity and continuity.
