Fault Codes, Blocking Codes - Lochinvar EcoForce EF80 Installation, Commissioning, User And Maintenance Instructions

FAULT CODES, BLOCKING CODES

To avoid electric shocks, disconnect electrical supply before performing troubleshooting.
To avoid burns, allow the unit to cool before performing troubleshooting.
Be aware that a fault code is an indication that the unit or the system needs attention. When repeatedly having
faults these should not be neglected.
The first step is to check if the unit is installed according to the instructions. If not, first make sure the installation
complies with the installation manual.
Always check the fuses on the control board before replacing any major components. A blown fuse can prevent
the controller or other components from operating.
Most faults can also be caused by a bad wiring and/or connections, even if it is not specifically mentioned. With
every fault it is wise to check wiring and connections (at both ends) that connect to the safety device/component
that generates the fault.

Having a lockout means that the water heater needs a manual reset to start operating again.
