9. TROUBLESHOOTING

MVB Error Codes

If any of the sensors detect an abnormal condition or an
internal component fails during the operation of the MVB,
the display may show the error. This code may either
be the result of a temporary condition in which case the
display will revert to its normal readout when the condition
is corrected, or it may be the result of a condition that the
controller has evaluated as not safe to restart the unit.
In this case, the unit control will be locked out, requiring
the maintenance person to manually reset the control by
pressing and releasing the RESET button.

Heater Errors

When an error condition occurs, the controller will display
an error code on the display module. These error codes
and several suggested corrective actions are included in
the MVB Fault Text section on the following page.

Heater Faults

1. When a fault condition occurs, the controller will
flash a red light on the PIM and display the error
code on the user interface. The alarm output will also
be activated. Most fault conditions will also cause the
boiler pump to run in an attempt to cool the unit.
2. Note the error code, either through the flash code on
the PIM and/or from the Toolbox menu on the user
interface, and reference the explanation of the fault
along with troubleshooting steps in the MVB fault
text section.
3. Press and release the RESET button to clear the
fault on the user interface and resume operation.
Be sure to observe the operation of the unit for a
period of time to ensure correct operation and no
reoccurrence of fault code(s).
