DESCRIPTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Flue Temp High
The stack temperature has exceeded the set 
parameters for the boiler.
• 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.
Delta T High
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 
 for the proper piping methods for the Knight XL boiler.
• Check for 120 vac to the boiler pump motor on a call 
 for heat. If voltage is not present, check the wiring 
 back to the main control board. Replace the main 
 control board if necessary.
• If 120 vac is present on a call for heat and the boiler 
 pump is not operating, replace the pump.
• Verify that the boiler pump is set to the proper speed 
 or that the pump is the proper size. Reference 
 Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the Knight 
 XL Installation and Operation Manual for boiler 
 pump 
specifications.

High
Outlet water temperature has exceeded the 
maximum outlet water temperature.
• 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 
 for the proper piping methods for the Knight XL boiler.
• Check for 120 vac to the boiler pump motor on a call 
 for heat. If voltage is not present, check wiring back 
 to the main control board. Replace the main control 
 board if necessary.
• If 120 vac is present on a call for heat and the boiler 
 pump is not operating, replace the pump.
• Verify that the boiler pump is set to the proper speed 
 or that the boiler pump is the proper size. Reference
