Either the auto-reset high limit, or the
O-temp heat exchanger switch has opened.
Automatic Reset High Limit:
• Verify that the system is full of water and that all air

• Verify that the water heater is piped properly into the
heating system. Refer to Section 6 - System Piping
of the Armor X2 Installation and Operation Manual for
the proper piping methods for the Armor X2.
• Check voltage to water heater pump motor on a call

to the pump relay.
• Replace the pump relay if necessary.
• If 120 VAC is present on a call for heat and the water
heater pump is not operating, replace the pump.
• Check resistance of water sensors and compare to
Table 3B on page 40 of this manual. Replace sensor
if
necessary.
• Replace outlet sensor.
HEX Temp SW:
• Check continuity across two contacts. Wires should
be connected at both poles of normally closed switch.
• Inspect the rear of the inner combustion chamber
at the burner level, for refractory breakdown/missing.
Replace the refractory if no damage to the heat
exchanger as a result of the burner, otherwise,
replace the heat exchanger.
