Soft Lockout Codes Displayed - Burnham ALP105 Installation, Operating And Service Instructions

Trouble shooting problems where a soft lockout code is displayed. When a soft lockout occurs, the boiler will shut down
B.
and the display will alternate between the number "9" and the letter "b" followed by a two digit service code. The boiler will
automatically restart once the condition that caused the lockout is corrected.
Table 29: Soft Lockout Codes Displayed
CODE CONDITION
b 08 Pressure switch circuit open
MCBA supply sensor detected temperatures in excess
b 18
of 200°F
MCBA return sensor detected temperatures in excess
b 19
of 200°F
MCBA is reading a return sensor temperature higher
b 24 than the supply sensor temperature. Condition must be
present for at least 75s for this error code to appear.
b 25 Supply water temperature has risen too quickly
Boiler safety limit, or external limit wired across
b 26
terminals 3&4, is open.
Temperature rise between supply and return is too
b 30
high.
b 61 Pressure switch circuit closed with fan off
b 65 Fan is not achieving set point speed
POSSIBLE CAUSES
• Blockage in intake or vent system.
• Vent and/or intake system not constructed in accordance with Part VI.
• Blocked or leaking pressure switch tubing
• Heat exchanger or burner blockage
• Terminals exposed to high winds
• Blockage in condensate trap above vent.
• Heating load at time of error was far below the minimum firing rate of the
boiler
• Defective primary pump or no flow in primary loop (Piping Method 1)
• Control system miswired so that boiler operation is permitted when no zones
are calling
• See possible causes for "b18"
• Flow through boiler reversed
• Sensor wiring reversed
• Flow through boiler reversed. Verify correct piping and pump orientation.
• No boiler water flow. Verify that system is purged of air and that appropriate
valves are open.
• Sensor wiring reversed.
• Supply or return sensor defective.
• See possible causes for "b18"
• Inadequate boiler water flow. Verify that pump is operating and that pump
and piping are sized per Part VIII of this manual
• See possible causes for "b18"
• Defective supply sensor.
• Inadequate boiler water flow. Verify that pump is operating and that pump
and piping are sized per Part VIII of this manual
• Blockage in pressure switch hose
• Pressure switch wires shorted together
• Defective pressure switch
• Loose or miswired fan speed harness (if "b61" error code is observed while
fan is running)
• Loose or incorrect fan speed control connection
• Defective fan
