Troubleshooting (continued)
Check control fuses
ALWAYS check control fuses before replacing the
control or any major components (blower, etc.).
If one of these fuses is blown, it can prevent the
control or other components from operating.
1. Turn OFF power to boiler at external line switch. Then
remove the jacket door.
2. Locate fuses using Figure 93 .
3. Remove and inspect the two (2) fuses (items 1 and 2,
Figure 93 ).
4. If necessary, replace one or both of the fuses:
a. Low voltage circuit fuse is 3-amp fast-blow
(Littelfuse 0287003).
b. Line voltage circuit fuse is 12-amp fast-blow
(Littelfuse 0314012MXP or Bussman ABC-12-R).
Do not jumper either fuse or replace with any fuse
except as specifi ed. Failure to comply could result
in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Checking temperature sensors
1. The boiler temperature sensors (fl ue, outdoor, return water,
supply water and system) are all resistance-type devices.
Figure 92 shows the correct value for the sensor at various
temperatures. For dual sensors, the temperature difference
between the sensors must be no more than 10°F.
2. 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
temperature. Use an ohmmeter to read resistance value.
3. To check whether the control is correctly sensing temperature,
you can use a resistance decade box. Connect the decade box
temporarily in place of a sensor and read the corresponding
temperature on the control display. The temperature should
be close to the value corresponding to the input resistance.
