DESCRIPTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Temp O/Shoot
The stack temperature has exceeded the set
parameters for the boiler.
• Inspect the heat exchanger. Reference page 27 of
this manual for the procedure on how to clean the flue
side of the heat exchanger.
• Inspect the flue sensor and associated wiring.
Measure the resistance of the flue sensor and
compare to Table 3C on page 30 of this manual.
Replace the sensor if necessary.
• Verify that the vent/air intake pipes are properly
installed and that there are no obstructions.
• Replace the main control board.
The temperature rise across the heat
exchanger has exceeded the set parameters
for the boiler.
• Verify that the system is full of water and that all air
has been properly purged from the system.
• Verify that the boiler is piped properly into the heating
system. Refer to Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the
Knight XL Installation and Operation Manual
