B.

Trouble shooting problems where a soft lockout code is displayed. When a soft lockout occurs, the boiler will shut down
and the display will alternate between the number “9” and the letter “b” followed by a two digit service code. The boiler will
automatically restart once the condition that caused the lockout is corrected.

CODE CONDITION

POSSIBLE CAUSES

b 08

Pressure switch circuit open

• Blockage in intake or vent system.

• Vent and/or intake system not constructed in accordance with Part VI.

• Blocked or leaking pressure switch tubing

• Heat exchanger or burner blockage

• Terminals exposed to high winds

• Blockage in condensate trap above vent.

b 18

MCBA supply sensor detected temperatures in excess

of 200°F

• Heating load at time of error was far below the minimum firing rate of the
boiler
• Defective primary pump or no flow in primary loop (Piping Method 1)
• Control system miswired so that boiler operation is permitted when no zones
are calling

b 19

MCBA return sensor detected temperatures in excess
of 200°F

• See possible causes for “b18”

• Flow through boiler reversed

• Sensor wiring reversed

b 24

MCBA is reading a return sensor temperature higher
than the supply sensor temperature. Condition must be
present for at least 75s for this error code to appear.

• Flow through boiler reversed. Verify correct piping and pump orientation.
• No boiler water flow. Verify that system is purged of air and that appropriate
valves are open.

• Sensor wiring reversed.

• Supply or return sensor defective.

b 25

Supply water temperature has risen too quickly

• See possible causes for “b18”
• Inadequate boiler water flow. Verify that pump is operating and that pump
and piping are sized per Part VIII of this manual

b 26

Boiler safety limit, or external limit wired across
terminals 3&4, is open.

• See possible causes for “b18”
• Defective supply sensor.

b 30

Temperature rise between supply and return is too
high.

• Inadequate boiler water flow. Verify that pump is operating and that pump
and piping are sized per Part VIII of this manual

b 61

Pressure switch circuit closed with fan off

• Blockage in pressure switch hose

• Pressure switch wires shorted together
• Defective pressure switch
• Loose or miswired fan speed harness (if “b61” error code is observed while
fan is running)

b 65

Fan is not achieving set point speed

• Loose or incorrect fan speed control connection
• Defective fan
