tempt to correct by increasing the blower speed to increase
flame signal.

Checking temperature sensors

1. The boiler temperature sensors (flue, outdoor, return water
and supply water) are all resistance-type devices. Figure 108
the sensors must be no more than 10 °F. (Supply outlet 200
sensor).
2. Use the resistance values at 32°F, 60°F, 70°F and 212°F to
measure the sensor resistance at known temperatures (ice
point, room temperature and sea level boiling point). For
ice point and boiling point, insert the sensor in water at that
temperature. Use an ohmmeter to read resistance value.

3. To check whether the FreeStyle® control is correctly sensing
temperature, you can use a resistance decade box. Connect
corresponding temperature on the FreeStyle® control display.
The temperature should be close to the value corresponding
to the input resistance.
