FAuLT FINDING

10.1
INITIAL cHEcK
e)
Check that gas, water and electrical supplies are available at the boiler.
f )
The electricity supply should be 30V~ 50Hz. The preferred minimum gas pressure is 0mbar. The boiler pressure should be
pressurised to 0.5bar minimum when the boiler and the CH system are cold and no more than .5 bar when the system is hot.
g)
Carry out electrical system checks. i.e. Earth continuity, Resistance to earth, Short circuit and Polarity with suitable meter.
Note: These checks should be repeated after any fault finding and servicing.
h)
Ensure that all external controls are calling for heat and check all external and internal fuses.
i)
Before carrying out any servicing or replacement of parts, ensure that the gas and the electricity supplies are isolated.

APPLIANcE cONTrOLLEr

The boiler is fitted with an integrated single PCB controller for reliability. This PCB
controls all boiler functions and is also equipped with a 4 digit, 7 segment display
and push buttons on the front of the boiler as shown in figure 10.1. The display
shows the system status and can be used to display the diagnostic information as
described in the following sections.
The push buttons can be used to enter the parameter menu and to change the
parameters. The push button S1 (Labelled 'set/reset') is also used to clear locking
errors and reset the controller.

Normal (Level-0 i.e. Default) Display Functions
The information displayed on the 4 digit, 7 segment display in the normal user
(Level-0) mode is shown in figure 10.. If no input is detected from the push buttons
when the display is in levels 1 and  mode for a period of about 30 seconds, it will
automatically revert to default level-0 mode.
