Temperature probe

14.1

Function

The Temperature probe has the function of converting
the temperature of the water in the hydraulic circuit
where it is installed into an electrical signal (resistance).
The relation between temperature and electrical resis-
tance is stated in Fig. 1.

On the boiler there are two Temperature probes. One
on the output of the primary heat exchanger (c.h. Tem-
perature probe) A in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3; one on its input,
before the pump (d.h.w. Temperature probe) B in Fig. 2
and Fig. 4.

Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains
electricity supply before removing any
covering or component.
Disconnect the cable from the Temperature probe.
Measure the temperature of the brass group where the
Temperature probe is located and check the electrical
resistance according to the graph in Fig. 1.

Removal

Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains
electricity supply before removing any
covering or component.
Refer to Fig. 3 for the c.h. Temperature probe and
to Fig. 4 for the d.h.w. Temperature probe.
1 To remove the Temperature probes remove the
front and right hand side panels of the case.
2 Empty the primary circuit of the boiler.
3 Remove the electric connector of the Tempera-
ture probe and unscrew it.
4 Reassemble the Temperature probe carrying out
the removal operations in reverse order.
