F.67 Value sent back by ASIC is incorrect
(flame signal)
F.68 Fault: Unstable flame (analogue input)
F.70 Invalid product code (DSN)
F.71 Fault: Flow/return temperature sensor
F.72 Fault: Deviation in the water pressure
sensor/return temperature sensor
F.77 Fault: Condensate or smoke
F.78 Interruption to DHW outlet sensor at
external controller
32
Possible cause
NTC plug not plugged in or has come loose, multiple plug on the PCB not
plugged in correctly, interruption in cable harness, NTC sensor defective
NTC plug not plugged in or has come loose, multiple plug on the PCB not
plugged in correctly, interruption in cable harness, NTC sensor defective
NTC sensor defective, short circuit in the cable harness, cable/casing
NTC sensor defective, short circuit in the cable harness, cable/casing
NTC sensor defective, short circuit in the cable harness, cable/casing
NTC sensor defective, short circuit in the cable harness, cable/casing
Incorrect earth connection between cable harness and product, flow or return
NTC defective (loose connection), black discharge via ignition cable, ignition
plug or ignition electrode
Pump blocked, insufficient pump output, air in product, flow and return NTC
sensors connected the wrong way round
Pump blocked, insufficient pump output, air in product, system pressure too
low, non-return valve blocked/incorrectly installed
Break in plug connection for optional flue gas safety cut-out (STB), break in
cable harness
Moisture on the electronics, electronics (flame monitor) defective, gas solen-
oid valve leaking
Gas meter defective or gas pressure monitor has triggered, air in gas, gas
flow pressure too low, thermal isolator device (TAE) has triggered, incorrect
gas restrictor, incorrect spare gas valve, fault on the gas valve, multiple plug
on PCB incorrectly plugged in, break in cable harness, ignition system (ig-
nition transformer, ignition cable, ignition plug, ignition electrode) defective,
ionisation current interrupted (cable, electrode), incorrect earthing of product,
electronics defective
Gas supply temporarily stopped, flue gas recirculation, incorrect earthing of
product, ignition transformer has spark failure
Plug on fan not correctly plugged in, multiple plug on PCB not correctly
plugged in, break in cable harness, fan blocked, Hall sensor defective, elec-
tronics defective
Short circuit on eBUS, eBUS overload or two power supplies with different
polarities on the eBUS
Short circuit/short to earth in cable harness for the gas valve, gas valve
defective (coils shorted to earth), electronics defective
Delayed switch-off of gas valve, delayed extinguishing of flame signal, gas
valve leaking, electronics defective
Electronics defective
Flow or return NTC short circuited, electronics defective
Electronics overheating due to external influences, electronics defective
Implausible flame signal, electronics defective
Air in gas, gas flow pressure too low, incorrect air ratio, incorrect gas re-
strictor, ionisation flow interruption (cable, electrode)
Display and PCB replaced at same time and Device Specific Number not
reset, wrong or missing output range coding resistance
Flow temperature sensor signalling constant value: Flow temperature sensor
incorrectly positioned on supply pipe, flow temperature sensor defective
Flow/return NTC temperature difference too great → flow and/or return tem-
perature sensor defective
No response, flue non-return flap defective
UK link box is connected, but hot water NTC not bridged
