8.1 Logical fault finding procedure

These checks must be carried out before attempting to
use the fault finding guide.
1. Carry out electrical safety checks (See Section
'Preliminary Electrical Checks').
2.Check that the external electricity supply to the boiler
is on, and a supply of 230 V~ is present between boiler
terminals 'L' and 'N'.
3. Check that the gas supply to the boiler is on, that it
has been correctly purged and that an inlet pressure
of 20 mbar is available at the gas valve. (See Section
'Gas Supply').
4.Ensure the heating system is full of water and charged
to between 1 and 1.5 bar. If not, refill and vent the
system. (See Section 'Filling the heating system').
Ensure boiler flow and return service valves are open.
5.Check that the main on/off control is set to the 'on'
position.
6.Set the central heating temperature to maximum.
7. Check that all external controls are on and calling for
heat (if, no external controls are fitted, boiler termi-
nals 3 and 4 must be linked). Check that the boiler
anti–cycling economiser is not engaged.

8.1.2 Diagnosis modes
In order to assist with the pinpointing of a particular
fault it is possible to use the boiler display in a diagno-
stic mode to interrogate the boiler about the status of
certain components (Table 8.2).
• Press the "i" and "+" buttons below the display simul-
taneously. The display will now show "d.0".
• Use "+" or "–" buttons to scroll up or down to the desi-
red diagnosic number.
• Press "i" button to display the corresponding diagno-
sic information.
• If necessary, you can now alter the value by pressing
"+" or "–" buttons. (When altering values display will
flash). Press and hold the "i" button to save the value
to memory, when the value is saved the display will
stop flashing.
Diagnosic mode is cancelled as follows:
• Press the "i" and "+" buttons simultaneously or
• Do not press any key for approximately four minutes.
The display will now revert back to showing the cur-
rent flow temperature.
