 SOLUTION 

  

 1.  Check circuit breaker, boiler emergency  switch and boiler reset switch

 2.  Purge air.  Ensure circulator is on Boiler Supply. Check air vents

 3.  Check circulator and zone valve. Repair or replace if  necessary

 4.  Check continuity while rotating knob.  Circuit should open and close.

 5.  If blank, check power. Check continuity across two orange and two blue leads 

while green light is on. If none, open control and replace fuses or replace control.

 6. Check boiler system. Boiler must operate to generate hot water

 1. Check sizing based on household size  and boiler output

 2. Increase temperature setpoint

 3. Wire for priority.  If problem persists add storage or increase tank size.

 4. Check Boiler Supply/Boiler Return during cold startup.  If difference is less than 

20°F, clean heat exchanger as outlined below. Install water treatment equipment 

to prevent recurrence.

 5. Check for undersized or faulty circulator, stuck or undersized zone valve. Ensure 

all shutoff valves are open.  Check for stuck flow check valve. Purge boiler loop 

to  remove air.

 1. If Boiler Return is plumbed to the  suction-side of a heating circulator, overheat-

ing will occur when the home’s heat is on.  Fix plumbing.

 2. Reduce temperature setpoint

 3. Re-insert thermistor wire  or temperature sensor.

 4. Repair or replace

 5. Clean, repair or replace

 1. Purge boiler loop. Check air  elimination equipment.

 2. Repair or replace pump

 3. Ensure the proper Therm-X-Trol

®

 or equivalent thermal expansion tank is 

installed and adjusted properly

 4. When first pressurized, a creaking or hissing sound  is normal. After pressuriz-

ing, the noise should stop.  Always check for leaks.

 1. Install the proper Therm-X-Trol

®  

or  equivalent thermal expansion tank

 2. Ensure precharge air pressure matches static water pressure

 3. Install a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) if city pressure is over  80psi

 4. Determine cause of over temperature condition and correct  problem

 5. Replace relief valve

 1. Sensor is unplugged from factory.  Plug into Smart Control™  receptacle

 2. Replace sensor wire (thermistor)

 3. Replace therm-well

 1. Have water tested for  contaminants.  Typical problems  are:

     Blue/green color =  copper discoloration due to low pH

     Black staining/sulfur odor = hydrogen  sulfide

     White deposits =  hard water

     Red staining = high iron levels

 2. Install sediment filter, purge unit more often to avoid future problems

 1. Check connections against wiring  diagrams in this manual

 2. Boiler will periodically cycle on and off during operation

 3. Remove 4 screws inside the Smart Control™ wiring box.  Replace glass fuse(s) 

with those of the same rating

 4. Post Purge shuts the boiler off prior to reaching domestic setpoint.  If set too 

high, the boiler may not  have enough energy to raise the water temperature to 

setpoint. Reduce POS or  set to 0 if the problem persists

 5. Have boiler diagnosed for proper operation

 1. Check connections against wiring  diagrams in this manual

 2. PRE setting delays circulator startup.  This is not normally needed in residential  

applications.  Reduce PRE or set  to 0 if problem persists

 3. Remove 4 screws inside the Smart Control™ wiring box.  Replace glass fuse(s) 

with those of  the amp same rating

 4. Repair or replace pump
