CORRECTIVE ACTION
3.7" W.C.(see para.4.3, step 8) the SSOV Supply Regulator may
be defective.
3. Remove the leads from the high gas pressure switch and
measure continuity across the common and normally closed
terminals with the unit not firing. Replace the switch if it does not
show continuity.
4. See figure 8-1. Make sure gas pressure snubber is installed at
the high gas pressure switch.
1. Test the temperature switch to insure it trips at its actual water
temperature setting.
2. Check PID settings against Menu Default settings in the
Appendix. If the settings have been changed, record the current
readings then reset them to the default values.
3. Using the resistance charts in the Appendix C, Measure the
resistance of Shell sensor and BTU sensor at a known water
temperature.
4. If unit is in Manual Mode switch to Auto Mode.
5. Check setpoint of unit and setpoint of Temperature Switch;
Ensure that the temperature switch is set higher than the unit's
setpoint.
6. Check the BMS for changes to PID default values, correct as
necessary.
7. If system pump is controlled by Energy Management System
other than BMS or pumps are individually controlled by boiler,
check to see if there are flow switches interlocked to the BMS or
boiler.
8. If the system is a variable flow system, monitor system flow
changes to ensure that the rate of flow change is not faster than
what the boilers can respond to.
1. See HIGH WATER TEMPERATURE SWITCH OPEN.
2. Check Temp HI Limit setting.
1. Press CLEAR button and restart unit. If fault persists, contact
qualified Service Personnel.
