FAULT

DESCRIPTION

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Flame Lost

While Running

(will require a manual

reset once the

condition has been

corrected. Press the

RESET button on the

display to reset.)

The unit was running and lost the flame
signal. This condition occurred twice .

• Inspect spark electrode and associated wiring for

damage and connection. Reference page 39 of this
manual for removal and cleaning procedures.
Replace if necessary.

• Check for proper electrical grounding of unit.

• Check incoming supply gas pressure. Natural gas

pressures should be between 4 -

14 inches w.c.

(1.0 - 3.5 kPa) and LP gas pressures should be
between 8 - 14 inches w.c. (2.0 - 3.2 kPa).
Refer to Section 6 - Gas Connections of the SYNC
Installation and Operation Manual for detailed
information concerning the gas supply.

• Verify that the plastic hose from the gas valve to the air

inlet is connected and is not damaged.

• Verify that the vent/air intake pipes are installed

correctly and there are no obstructions.

• Check for 24 VAC to the gas valve at the 2-pin

connection on the side of the main control board
during the ignition attempt. If no voltage is present,
replace the main control board.

• If 24 VAC is present at the main control board, check

the wiring between the main control board and the gas
valve. Replace the wiring if necessary. Do not
disconnect the wiring from the gas valve and attempt
to measure voltage at that point. The main control
board can detect if the gas valve is not connected and
will display the Gas Valve / Connection fault.

• If 24 VAC is present, check the outlet of the valve to

ensure the valve is flowing gas. With a manometer
connected to the outlet tap of the gas valve, when the
unit is in the prepurge period, there should be a
negative pressure present. When the valve is
energized a change in pressure should occur. If the
pressure change does not occur, the gas valve is not
opening. Replace the gas valve.

• Inspect flame sensor and associated wiring.

Reference page 39 of this manual for removal and
cleaning procedures. Replace if necessary.

• Inspect the burner. Reference page 39 of this manual

for removal and cleaning procedures. Replace if
necessary.

• Replace the main control board.
