FAULT
DESCRIPTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Flue Sensor Fault
(will require a manual reset
once the condition has been
corrected. Press the RESET
button on the SMART
SYSTEM
display to reset.)
The control reads the flue sensor as open 
or shorted.
• Check wiring to sensor. Make sure wiring is
 connected and not damaged. Reconnect / repair 
 wiring if necessary.
• Measure the resistance of the sensor and compare 
 to the resistance in Table 3-2D on page 35 of this 
 manual. Replace the sensor if necessary.
• Replace control module.
Flue Temp Diff
(will require a manual reset
once the condition has been
corrected. Press the RESET
button on the SMART
SYSTEM
display to reset.)
The control module reads an excessive 
temperature difference between the two 
sensors.
• Check wiring to sensor. Make sure wiring is
 connected and not damaged. Reconnect / repair 
 wiring if necessary.
• Measure the resistance of the sensor and compare to 
 the resistance in Table 3-2D on page 35 of this 
manual. Replace sensor if necessary.
• Restore control parameter defaults from optional PC 
 software.
• Replace control module.
Flue Temp Limit
(will require a manual reset
once the condition has been
corrected. Press the RESET
button on the SMART
SYSTEM
display to reset.)
The stack temperature has exceeded the 
Flue Temp Limit set parameters.
• Inspect the heat exchanger. Reference page 32 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 3-2D on page 35 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.
Fatal Error
The control module has detected parameter 
settings that are out of range.
• Restore the parameter defaults from the optional PC 
 software.
• Replace control module.
Memory Error
A lockout occurs at the same time as a 
power outage.
• Reset control module.
