Temperature sensor
1. The boiler temperature sensor is a resistance-type device.
2. The Table 10, below shows the correct value for the sensor at
various temperatures.
3. Use the resistance values at 32°F, 60°F, 70°F and 212°F to
measure the sensor resistance at known temperatures (ice
point, room temperature and sea level boiling point). For ice
point and boiling point, insert the sensor in water at that tem-
perature. Use an ohmmeter to read resistance value between
thermistor#andthermistorcommon.SeeFigure38,page 52,
for sensor plug details.
Table 10 Sensor resistance values
Troubleshooting air pressure reading
1. If manometer reading is lower than the setpoint of the switch (see
Table 9
) — check for possible causes:
• blockageinhoses
• obstructionininducerhousingoutlet
• looseinducerwheelonmotorshaft
• inducermotornotinproperrpm
• inducerbackplatenotsealedproperly
• blockageinblockassembly
2. If manometer reading is above the setpoint of the switch (see
Table 9),butthereisnot24VAC betweenbothairpressureswitch
terminals — replace air pressure switch.
Return to normal operation
When pressure reading is correct and air pressure switch is oper-
ating properly — remove tees and reinstall hoses to air pressure
switch.

Service office for details.)
