Abnormal Operation
1. Flammable Vapor Sensor or Simulated Resistive Device Fault:
a. If the resistance is greater than 70,000 Ohms-the gas control immediately turns off all outputs. Control waits
and monitors resistance for 30 seconds. If the resistance is greater than 65,000 ohms after 30 seconds, the gas
control proceeds to verify resistive delay for 2 minutes and flashes 7 times then once with a three second pause.
This process is repeated 5 times until the control either returns to normal operation or proceeds to flammable
vapor lockout.
b. If the resistance is below 3000 Ohms-The gas control immediately turns off all outputs and proceeds to flash 8
times, then once with three second pause. The status self clears if the resistance returns to normal range for at
least 15 seconds.
2. Temperature Sensor Fault:
a. Temperature sensor detected open circuit –The gas control immediately turns off all outputs and proceeds to
flash 8 times then, 3 times with 3 second pause. The status self clears if the fault clears for at least 15 seconds.
b. Thermal well sensor not reading the same temperature within ±5.5°F – The gas control immediately turns off
all outputs and proceeds to flash 8 times, then 3 times twice with 3 second pause. The status self clears if the
fault clears for at least 15 seconds.
c. Water temperature in excess of ECO (energy cut out) limit – The gas control immediately turns off pilot &
main valves and proceeds to flash 4 times with 3 second pause. Blower continues to run until gas control is reset.
To reset control, rotate knob of temperature control to the minimum setting for at least 6 seconds before returning
to desired temperature setting.
3. Pressure Switch/Blower Temperature Fault:
a. Pressure switch closed at start of call for heat-the gas control waits 4 seconds then, proceeds to flash 2 times
with 3 second pause. The control waits 2 minutes and then turns on blower for 30 seconds. The blower turns
off after 30 seconds and the control waits for pressure switch to open. Any time the pressure switch opens, the
blower turns on (or stays on) and the control proceeds to wait for pressure switch to close.
b. Pressure switch or blower temperature switch failed to close-the gas control runs the blower for 30 seconds
waiting for the pressure switch and/or blower temperature switch to close. If either switch does not close in 30
seconds, the blower turns off and the control flashes 3 times with 3 second pause. The gas control waits 2
minutes before turning on the blower for another 30 seconds to see the circuit close. This cycle repeats as long
as there is a call for heat or until the circuit closes.
c. Pressure switch or blower temperature switch opens during burner operation-the gas control turns off the
pilot and main valve, runs blower for 15 seconds (inter-purge) waiting for pressure switch and/or blower
temperature switch to close. If either switch fails to close, the control proceeds as described in 3b above, if the
circuit closes again by the end of the inter-purge, the recycle counter is incremented, if the recycle count has not
reached its limit (4), another trial for ignition begins. If the recycle count has been reached, the gas control turns
off the blower and flashes 6 times then, 2 times with 3 second pause. The gas control waits 5 minutes before
repeating ignition sequence.
4. Trial for Ignition Fault:
a. Pressure switch opens during trial-the gas control turns off igniter and pilot valve. The gas control proceeds
as described in 3b above. If the pressure switch closes within 30 seconds the gas control will continue with trial
for ignition starting at blower pre-purge.
b. Flame not sensed-the gas control energizes the spark igniter attempting to light the pilot and prove flame. If flame
is not sensed within 90 seconds, the igniter turns off, the pilot valve is closed, and the gas control runs the blower
through post purge and flashes 6 times then, once with 3 second pause. The control waits 5 minutes before repeating
the ignition sequence.
5. Flame sensing fault:
a. Flame lost during run-the gas control turns off pilot and main valves, runs blower for 15 seconds (inter-purge).
The gas control increments the recycle count, if the recycle count has not reached its limit (4), another trial for
ignition begins. If the recycle count has been reached, the gas control turns off the blower and flashes 6 times
then, 3 times with 3 second pause. The gas control waits 5 minutes before repeating the ignition sequence.
b. Flame sensed out of sequence-the gas control only looks for pilot flame when the blower is running. If flame is
present when the pilot valve is not open, the gas control proceeds to wait for flame loss and flashes 5 times with 3
second pause. This continues until flame is lost. Once the flame signal is lost, the control flashes 6 times then, 4
times with 3 second pause. The control waits 5 minutes before repeating the ignition sequence.
