System Status And Error Codes; Reading The Led Flash Sequence - American Water Heater Powerflex Installation And Operating Manual

SYSTEM STATUS AND ERROR CODES

The micro-controller inside the gas control monitors the
ignition sequence, temperature settings, and overall
operation of the heater. If any of these parameters does
not operate properly the controller will shut down the
water heater, diagnose the failure and fl ash an error code.
The table below lists the System Status Codes for the
Honeywell control. Refer to it and to the "Ignition State
And Timing" to diagnose the problem before attempting
corrective action.

READING THE LED FLASH SEQUENCE.

The LED indicator light is active when the gas valve/
thermostat is in operation. The light will normally show a
fl ash sequence of a short fl ash once every four seconds
or a "Heartbeat" of alternating bright/dim. Multiple fl ash
codes indicate an error and can be read as follows:
Example: Corrective Action Number 9, Six-Two Flash,
three second pause. For this code, the LED indicator light
will make six bright fl ashes, pause for one second and
then make two more bright fl ashes. The LED will pause
for three seconds and repeat the six-two cycle of fl ashes.
