SERIES 2 WALL MOUNT GAS-FIRED WATER BOILER — Boiler Manual
Check ignition sequence
The ignition sequence time line and operational description for the Combi and Heating Only boilers below help to understand the
timing of the cycles. In your troubleshooting, refer to the numbers 1 through 7 as they describe each step of the ignition cycle.
34 Troubleshooting (continued)
Figure 110 Time line of ignition sequence for the Combi and Heating Only boilers.
1. Heat demand detection time
CH mode: there is a confirming time of 3 seconds during
which the demand has to be always on.
The request switch is sampled every 0.2 seconds, so the
maximum delay is 3.2 seconds.
DHW instant mode: Combi boiler the maximum delay
is 0.2 seconds which is the sample time of the flow sensor.
DHW storage mode: Heating Only boiler with Indirect
tank the maximum delay is 0.2 seconds which is the
sample time of the tank thermostat.
2. Pre-pump time
CH instant mode: CH - Pump time 30 seconds.
DHW instant mode: there is no pre-pump.
DHW storage mode: DHW Pre-pump time 30 seconds.
3. Pre-purge time
It is the time that the fan takes to reach the ignition level
to effectively purge boiler venting.
4. Ignition
There are 0.2 seconds of preignition where the control
checks the status of the gas valve. And then there is the
spark, for a time depends on the gas type:
Natural Gas, 1.6 seconds.
LP Gas, 4.6 seconds.
5. Gas valve safety time
With no flame the gas valve can be kept open for certain time:
Natural Gas, 3 seconds.
LP Gas, 4.8 seconds.
If at the end of this time the flame is not ionized, the gas
valve has to be closed and the inter-purge time for 6 at-
tempts is ran.
6. Inter-purge time for A01 attempts
There is 10 seconds of purge time before a new attempt
after a faulty ignition. After 5 attempts the boiler goes into
Lockout (code “A01”). This error condition is stopping
the boiler and to get to normal operation again, manual
reset is required.
7. Inter-purge time for A06 attempts
There is 1 second of purge time before a new attempt after
a lost flame. If the flame disappeared 3 consecutive times
within 10 minutes, the boiler goes into Lockout (code
“A06”) to get to normal operation again, manual reset is
required.
