This section details the method for troubleshooting the non-standard electronic
components on the boiler including the electronic differential air pressure sensor
and the temperature sensors.
5.2.1 Temperature Sensors
The resistance of the temperature sensors varies inversely with temperature. To
test, measure the temperature of the sensed environment and compare with the
value derived from the measurement of the resistance (obtained by connecting a
good quality test meter capable of measuring up to 5,000 kΩ (5,000,000Ω) at the
controller end of the sensor lead).
To obtain a resistance reading, remove power to the boiler. For the supply water
and return water temperature sensors, remove the wire leads by disconnecting
their respective Molex connectors. Place multi-meter probes into sensor's female
Molex connector socket. Do not apply voltage to the sensor (damage may result).
