VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING

  Never jumper (bypass) any device except 

for  momentary  testing  as  outlined  in 

Troubleshooting  Charts.  Substantial 

property damage and/or severe personal 

injury could occur.

  Label  all  wires  prior  to  disconnection 

when  servicing  controls.  Wiring  errors 

can  cause  improper  and  dangerous 

operation.

1.  Before troubleshooting.

a.  Have  a  voltmeter  that  can  check  120VAC,  24VAC,  a 

microammeter with minimum scale range of 0-25, and a 

continuity tester.

b. Check for 120VAC (min. 102 - max. 132) to boiler.

c. Check for 24VAC at secondary side of transformer.

d.  Make  sure  thermostat  is  calling  for  heat  and  contacts 

(including appropriate zone controls) are closed. Check for 

24VAC between thermostat wire nuts and ground.

IN EVENT OF ACTUATOR FAILURE

–EFFIKAL DAMPER

If  troubleshooting  chart  recommends  replacing  actuator,  and 

actuator is not immediately available, 

damper blade can

 

be 

fixed in an open position to allow boiler operation

Manually turning blade can cause actuator damage. Follow these 

instructions only in case of no heat or damper actuator malfunc-

tion. See Figure 6.

1.  Move damper service switch to “HOLD DAMPER OPEN” 

position. Apply “call for heat” to boiler. Damper blade should 

then rotate to open position and boiler will fire.

2.  If  Step  1  above  does  not  open  damper,  manually  rotate 

damper blade to open position using wrench or pliers on flat 

shaft between damper and actuator. Boiler will fire. Verify 

that damper service switch is in “HOLD DAMPER OPEN” 

position.

3.  Do not leave damper permanently in this position. Replace 

actuator immediately. If damper is left in open position, boiler 

will not operate at published efficiencies.

See damper manufacturer’s instructions packed with 

damper for additional information.

JOHNSON DAMPER

If  troubleshooting  chart  recommends  replacing  actuator,  and 

actuator is not immediately available, damper blade can be fixed 

in open position to allow boiler operation. Follow these instruc

-

tions  only  in  case  of  no  heat  or  damper  actuator  malfunction. 

See Figure 7.

1) Turn off power to boiler.

  Failure to turn off power to boiler can result 

in severe personal injury, death or substantial 

property damage.

2) Remove damper actuator cover.

3) On PC board, move wire from A to B.

4) Turn on power to boiler.

5) Using wrench or pliers on flat shaft section, manually rotate 

damper blade until green light turns on. Boiler will fire.

6) Do not leave damper permanently in this position. Replace 

actuator immediately. If damper is left in open position, boiler 

will not operate at published efficiencies.

See damper manufacturer’s instructions packed with 

damper for additional information.
