GOLD CGa Gas-Fired Water Boiler — Boiler Manual

Electrical shock hazard — Wherever you see

TURN OFF POWER , follow the instructions. Failure to follow

instructions could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

No

Yes

Did you find a voltage across the two external thermostat circuit wires?

No

Yes

• Leave external boiler thermostat connection wires

disconnected from boiler.

• Troubleshoot the external thermostat circuit until you find

the source of the stray voltage. (Pay close attention to

the wiring connections to 3-wire zone valves.)

• Correct the problem and repeat the voltmeter test above,

verifying there is no longer a voltage reading under any

condition in the external thermostat circuit.

• Disconnect the two external wires connected to the boiler

thermostat leads (two black low voltage leads in J-box).

• Connect a voltmeter across these two incoming wires.

Close each thermostat, zone valve and relay in the external

circuit one at a time and check the voltmeter reading

across the wires.

• There should NEVER be a voltage reading.

• If a voltage does occur under any condition, check and

correct the external wiring. (This is a common problem

when using 3-wire zone valves.)

• Once the external thermostat circuit wiring is checked and

corrected if necessary, reconnect the external thermostat

circuit wires to the boiler thermostat wires and allow the

boiler to cycle.

• Boiler should now operate per the normal sequence of

operation shown in

Figure 24, page 37.

• If no voltage is found under any condition of the external

thermostat circuit, connect the two boiler thermostat

connection leads together (or jumper the boiler aquastat

T-T terminals).

• Turn off power to the boiler for 1 minute.

• Turn on power and allow boiler to cycle.

Do the

TSTAT and POWER lights still flash?

• Replace control module.

• Retest.

— Usually indicates 48 VAC on thermostat circuit (stray voltage) —
