APPENDIX SHUTDOWN APPENDIX NOTE − Disconnect both wires. In order to check if the control is functioning properly the following readings can be taken: AL Link 24VDC (with S1 Switch On and open circuit). Voltage is variable while in normal operation depending on data stream. Pressure Switches (ie: Gas Pressure, Water Pressure, Flue Pressure, etc) 3.3VDC while circuit is open.

APPENDIX SHUTDOWN APPENDIX − Disconnect the multimeter and reconnect the wires, as shown in the picture below. If the multimeter shows “0” (or any other symbol confirming the − electrical continuity between 1 (NC) and 3 (COM) of the air pressure switch), the error on the boiler is due to a lack of water on the hydraulic circuit (or a failure of the pressure switch itself).
