Model 90524A diagnostic LED’s
90524A controls have three LED’s, as explained below. See following pages for operating
sequence and LED behavior.
Left LED
POWER ON
Center LED
CIRCULATOR ON
Right LED
BURNER ON
green
amber
amber
The LED’s can be off, on or flashing. The symbols below are used in this manual to show
the state of these LED’s during operation of the control.
Green LED
OFF
– ON
Power on
FLASH Slowly (once per second) Soft lockout
FLASH Rapidly (twice per second) Hard lockout
Amber LED’s
OFF
– ON
Burner on or Circulators powered
[
Indicates the LED in this position can be either on or off.
LED status
Indicates the following:
Power OFF
With no power applied, the thermostat (TT) circuit and all output con-
tacts are de-energized. All LED’s are off.
Power ON
When power is applied to the L1/L2 terminals, the thermostat circuit is
energized. Voltage (24 VAC) is applied to the thermostat terminals. The
90524A starts a self test to check the sensor and the microprocessor,
and to verify that the limit contacts are open. The 90524A becomes
fully operational after this 2-second self test.
[
Soft lockout
Green LED flashing once per second, burner LED off, B1 contact open,
and circulator LED on or off — occurs if control senses internal failure
or sensor problem (open or shorted sensor).
The control will revert to normal operation if the problem is corrected
within 15 seconds. Otherwise, the control enters hard lockout. See
“Fault log” information below.
Hard lockout
Green LED flashing twice per second, burner LED off and B1 contacts
open, circulator LED on and circulator contacts closed — occurs when
burner contact is sensed closed, and does not clear after two attempts
or soft lockout has timed out.
Reset by cycling power off/on.
Latchup
Green LED off, burner LED off, B1 contact open, circulator LED on, and
ZC and C1 contacts closed — occurs when burner contact is sensed
closed, and does not clear after three attempts.
Not resettable — requires control replacement.
Fault
log
90524A controls self monitor, and can indicate fault conditions with
the LED’s.
Fault conditions are recorded in the retrievable fault log. Two condi-
tions, caused by sensor detection problems, are shown below. Other
LED conditions displayed in the fault log are related to internal control
problems. Reset the control as explained above. Controls in latchup
cannot be reset. They must be replaced.
To access the fault log, press the hidden reset button (located left of
the LOW LIMIT adjustment on the front of the control). Hold for one
second or longer. All three LED’s will come on for 1 second, then go off
for 1 second. If any error codes have been logged since the last error
code display, the LED’s will flash a pattern four times for each error
code, then proceed to the next. After all codes have been shown, the
error code log will automatically clear.
For applications that might encounter unexplainable control outages,
contact Carlin Technical Support for instructions to access the fault log
and interpret the results.
Sensor open
Sensor OPEN fault code.
The sensor is detected OPEN (resistance more than 60 Kohms).
Sensor shorted
Sensor SHORTED fault code.
The sensor is detected SHORTED (resistance less than 300 ohms).
Configurations
Control kits — 90524A controls mount to a standard 4x4 J-box, supplied
•
with the control. Mount the box directly to a well (new or existing) with
hardware supplied, or panel mount. See Figure 2 for dimensions.
Well kits — Wells for 90524A sensors are available in the sizes shown
•
in Figure 2. Well kits include sensor mounting hardware designed to
hold sensor securely in position.
Sensors — Sensors are available in single configurations.

Definitions
High limit
Shut-off temperature during space heating (call for heat at
T-T or ZR).
Setpoint is adjustable at lower front center of control.
•
Differential is fixed when in triple limit operation (LOW
•
LIMIT on).
Differential is adjustable on back of control when in cold
•
start operation (LOW LIMIT set to OFF).
Low limit
Temperature maintained during stand-by (no call for heat
at T-T or ZR) when in triple limit operation (LOW LIMIT on).
The setpoint for the low limit (minimum temperature in
•
the boiler during standby) is adjustable with the lower
left adjustment.
The differential for low limit is adjustable with the adjust-
•
ment on the back of the control.
The circulator output at C1 is activated only when
•
the temperature in the boiler is above the low limit
setting.
Low temp
Boiler condensation protection setting when in cold-start
operation (LOW LIMIT set to OFF).
This setting is fixed.
•
The differential is fixed.
•
The circulator outputs are disabled until the boiler tem-
•
perature rises above the low temp setting.
