Checking temperature sensors
The appliance temperature sensors (inlet water, outlet water, system water, tank water, flue, and outdoor air) are all resistance
type devices. The following tables show the correct values for the sensors at various temperatures. Use an ohmmeter to read
the resistance of the sensor at a known temperature. If the resistance of the sensor does not closely match its corresponding
table, replace the sensor.
