Troubleshooting

It is recommended to complete all wiring to ensure trouble-free operation . Should an error occur, simply follow these steps:
1 .   

Find:

 If a banner is on the screen, it indicates a problem on the system .

2 .    

Identify:

 Press the BARS icon on the top right corner to enter the menus and press notifications . The latest error notification will 

appear at the top of the list .

3 .   

Solve:

 The notification description provides the instructions on the corrective action required to clear the error .

Errors and Alerts (1 of 3)

Error or Alert Title

Description

Control Memory  

Error

A memory error has been detected . The control will not operate the boilers until all settings have been reviewed .
You may also reload factory defaults and use the Setup Wizard to configure the control . If the memory 

error keeps recurring after a power outage, the control may require replacement . Consult technical support  

for assistance .

Outdoor Sensor  

Short Error

A short circuit is detected on the outdoor air temperature sensor input . The control operates the central heating 

system at the boiler design temperature until this fault is corrected .
To correct, remove the wires from the outdoor air sensor terminals, then use an electrical multimeter to measure 

the resistance . The resistance should be proportional to the temperature lookup table in the Installation and 

Operation Manual . If the resistance is short circuit, check the wires for damage . If the wires are OK, then 

replace the Outdoor Sensor 070 . Once the fault is corrected, the error clears automatically .

Outdoor Sensor  

Open Error

An open circuit is detected on the outdoor air temperature sensor input . The control operates the central 

heating system at the boiler design temperature until this fault is corrected .
To correct, remove the wires from the outdoor air sensor terminals, then use an electrical multimeter to measure 

the resistance . The resistance should be proportional to the temperature lookup table in the Installation and 

Operation Manual . If the resistance is open circuit, check the wires for loose wiring connections . If the wires 

are OK, then replace the Outdoor Sensor 070 . Once the fault is corrected, the error clears automatically .

tekmarNet Outdoor 

Sensor Error

The control has not received an outdoor temperature report from the tekmarNet network . Check the tekmarNet 

network for the location of the outdoor sensor measurement . Check the sensor for open or short circuits 

and replace the Outdoor Sensor 070 if necessary . Once the fault is corrected, the error clears automatically .

Condensate Sensor 

Short Error

A short circuit is detected on the condensate return temperature sensor input . As a result, the control does 

not operate the establishing steam or cool down periods .
To correct, remove the wires from the condensate return sensor terminals, then use an electrical multimeter 

to measure the resistance . The resistance should be proportional to the temperature lookup table in the 

Installation and Operation Manual . Check the wires for damage . If the wires are ok, then replace the Universal 

Sensor 071 . Once the fault is corrected, the error clears automatically .

Condensate Sensor 

Open Error

An open circuit is detected on the condensate return temperature sensor input . As a result, the control does 

not operate the establishing steam or cool down periods .
The condensate sensor is optional, and the setting may be incorrectly turned on . Check if a sensor is installed . 

If not installed, set Condensate Sensor to off . If installed, remove the wires from the condensate return sensor 

terminals, then use an electrical multimeter to measure the resistance . The resistance should be proportional 

to the temperature lookup table in the Installation and Operation Manual . If the resistance is open circuit, check 

the wires for loose wiring connections . If the wires are ok, then replace the Universal Sensor 071 . Once the 

fault is corrected, the error clears automatically .

Indoor Sensor Short 

Error

A short circuit is detected with the indoor sensor on the Aux sensor input .
To correct, remove the wires from the Aux sensor terminals, then use an electrical multimeter to measure 

the resistance . The resistance should be proportional to the temperature lookup table in the Installation and 

Operation Manual . Check the wires for damage . If the wires are ok, then replace the Indoor Sensor 076, 077, 

or 084 . Once the fault is corrected, the error clears automatically .
