FAULT

DESCRIPTION

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Outlet Temp 

High

(continued)

Outlet water temperature has exceeded the 
maximum outlet water temperature.

• Verify that the boiler pump is set to the proper speed 
  or that the boiler pump is the proper size.  Reference 
  Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the Knight  Boiler 
  Installation and Operation Manual for boiler pump 
 specifications.

•  Replace the main control board.

Rem Ctrl Flt

External control is cycling too often.

•  Check set point of the external control.

•  Check the wiring between the external control and the 
 unit.

•  Replace the control.

Parameters 

Progr

(will require a manual 

reset once the condition 

has been corrected.  Press 

the RESET button on the 
SMART SYSTEM

 

display 

to reset.)

After downloading parameters from a laptop, 
the main control board must be reset.

• Press the ENTER/RESET button on the SMART 
  SYSTEM display panel.

Service Blk

While the unit is in Service Mode, the outlet 
temperature has exceeded 185°F.

• Establish a heating load to remove the heat from the 
 boiler 

loop.

• Verify that the system is full of water and that all air 
  has been properly purged from the system.

•  Verify that the boiler is piped properly into the heating 
  system.  Refer to Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the 
 

Knight Boiler Installation and Operation 

  Manual for the proper piping methods for the Knight 
 boiler.

• Check 120 vac to the boiler pump motor on a call for 
  heat.  If voltage is not present, check the wiring back 
  to the main control board.  Replace the main control 
  board if necessary.

• If 120 vac is present on a call for heat and the boiler 
  pump is not operating, replace the pump.

• Verify that the boiler pump is set to the proper speed 
  or  that the boiler pump is the proper size.  Reference 
 Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the Knight 
  Boiler Installation and Operation Manual for boiler 
 pump 

specifications.
