DIAGNOSIS
Improperly installed
condensate trap
Leak in vent piping
Flue gas leak within boiler
Fan board failure
Triac or 'Power-robbing'
thermostat sending current to
boiler.
Boiler is in 1 hour safety
lockout.
Sensor may be under-reading
actual water temp.
Possible flow issue: check for
35 or 40 degree F temperature
difference between boiler
supply and return water
temperatures (evokes
electronic fence).
Wiring not complete.
Boiler pump set to on.
REMEDY
Refer to installation/operation instructions
Inspect using soap solution
Visually inspect all mechanical connections
Replace fan.
Remove Therm. connections from boiler to confirm
that stray voltage, or current induced in thermostat
wiring, is source of nuisance signal. Replace the
Power Robbing thermostat, isolate the thermostat
with a relay or install a properly sized resistor
(consult the thermostat manufacturer first then IBC
for instructions).
Reset safety device and clear the error in the
Advanced Diagnostics menu.
Check sensor engagement; note well is 15cm /
almost 6 inches deep and sensor must be fully set
to back. Check programmed settings boiler temp is
not set too close to the required DHW temp
Confirm that primary pump is able to overcome
head loss of boiler and primary loop piping at the
required flow rate.
Supply power to the PV/L and PV/N terminals from
the incoming power supply to the boiler. (Factory
wired on boilers with a factory installed Touch
Screen Controller)
Re-define DHW load as DHW Loop 2 (5 button
Controls) to turn off primary pump during domestic
hot water calls. On Touch Screen Controllers set
the boiler pump to off in the Installer Set-up Menu.
