Service Manual

Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.
Always disconnect power to the
boiler before servicing. Failure to
comply could result in severe
personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.

Never jumper (bypass) any device
except for momentary testing as
outlined in the Troubleshooting
chart. Severe personal injury, death,
or substantial property damage can
result.

Before troubleshooting:

1. Have the following items:

a.

Voltmeter that can check 120 vac, 24 vac, and
12 vdc.

b.

Continuity checker.

c.

Contact thermometer.

2. Check for 120 vac (minimum 102 vac to maximum

132 vac) to boiler.

3. Make sure thermostat is calling for heat and

contacts (including appropriate zone controls) are
closed. Check for 24 vac between thermostat wire
nuts and ground.

4. Make sure all external limit controls are installed

and operating.

Check the following:

1. Wire connectors to control module are securely

plugged in at the module and originating control.

2. Gas pressures:

• Maximum: 14 inches w.c. (natural and LP) with

no flow (lockup) or with boiler on

• Minimum: 4 inches w.c. (natural), 8 inches w.c.

(LP) with gas flowing (verify during boiler
startup)

Check control module fuses

ALWAYS check control module fuses before
replacing control module or any major
components (blower, etc.). If one of these fuses
is blown, it can prevent the control module or
other components from operating.

1.

Turn OFF the power to the boiler at the external line
switch.

2.

Remove top access cover.

3.

Remove the control module cover.

4.

Inspect fuses F1, F2 and F3, see FIG 3-1 below.

F3 - .80 AMP FUSE

24V DC POWER SUPPLY

F1 - 5 AMP FUSE

PUMPS

F2 - 3.15 AMP FUSE

BLOWER

Figure 3-1 Control Module Fuses

5. The boiler is shipped with three (3) spare fuses in a plastic bag

attached to the control module cover.

6. If necessary, replace open fuse (F3 is .80 amps, F2 is 3.15 amps,

and F1 is 5 amps).

Note: Fuses F1, F2 and F3 are all slow blow fuses.

Do not jumper fuse or replace with any fuse
except as specified. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.

7. Install control module cover and top access cover after fuse

inspection.

8. Restore power to the boiler at the external line switch and verify

boiler operation (Section 10 - Start-up in the Knight Boiler
Installation and Operation Manual) after completing boiler
service.
