12-4. AFR rod function
<Function>
The AFR rod checks flame conditions during combustion. When the AFR rod detects unexpected flame
conditions, the computer board of the T-M32
adjusts the fan motor speed to ensure that air and fuel are
always at a proper mixture ratio, minimizing emissions.
<AFR normal range of values>
・
If the AFR value is higher than the normal value, the FM speed is increased.
・
If the AFR value is lower than the normal value, the FM speed is decreased.
・
Measure the values after burning the water heater for ten minutes.
・
These values are read with the front cover close.
*The AFR stage can be confirmed in “Diagnostic Mode”. (Section 12-1)

(Condition of AFR stage)
・
0 to 5: Air-rich
・
In order to solve the “air excess” problem, the fan motor
speed is automatically decreased and AFR combustion
stage goes down.
・
6: Default
・
7 to 16: Gas-rich or Air shortage
・
In order to solve the “air deficiency” problem, the fan
motor speed is automatically increased and AFR
combustion stage goes up.

16: “991” error code
・
When the “101” or “991” error code appears, see section
12-3.
