PREMATURELY (CONT.)
Condition
Possible Cause
Corrective Action/Comments
5.3
- Combustion air inducer energizes
with a heating demand.
- Burners light.
- Roll-out switch trips during the
heating demand.
Diagnostic lights flash roll out fail
5.3.1
Unit is firing above 100% of the
nameplate input.
ACTION 1 -
Check that the manifold pressure
matches value listed on nameplate. See installaĆ
tion instructions for proper procedure.
ACTION 2 -
Verify that the installed orifice size
match the size listed on the nameplate or instalĆ
lation instructions.
ACTION 3 -
Check the input rate to verify rate
matches value listed on nameplate.
- Diagnostic lights flash roll-out failĆ
ure.

5.3.2
Gas orifices leak at the manifold conĆ
nection.
ACTION 1 -
Tighten orifice until leak is sealed.
NOTE:
Be careful not to strip orifice threads.
ACTION 2 -
Check for gas leakage at the
threaded orifice connection. Use approved
method for leak detection (see unit instructions).

5.3.3
Insufficient flow through the heat exĆ
changer caused by a sooted or reĆ
stricted heat exchanger.
ACTION 1
- Check for sooting deposits or other
restrictions in the heat exchanger assembly.
Clean assembly as outlined in instruction manuĆ
al.
ACTION 2
- Check for proper combustion. See
NO TAG Heating System Service Checks secĆ
tion NO TAG.
5.3.4
Burners are not properly located in
the burner box.
ACTION 1 -
Check that the burners are firing into
the center of the heat exchanger openings. CorĆ
rect the location of the burners if necessary.
5.4
-
Combustion air inducer energizes
with a heating demand.
- Burners light roughly and the unit

Poor Venting
ACTION 1
-Check vent pipe and remove any obĆ
structions
ACTION 2 -
Check for correct exhaust vent
installation. See instructions

Burrs in gas orifices
ACTION 1 -
Remove gas orifices and inspect.
Remove any burrs that are present or replace
orifice.

Loose sensor wire connection
causes intermittent loss of flame sigĆ
nal.
ACTION 1 -
Check that the sensor is properly loĆ
cated.
ACTION 2 -
Check that the sense wire is properĆ
ly attached to both the sensor and the control.
Pay extra attention to the pin connectors.
