installed or removed.
2. Device proving switch hooked to
interlocks is not closed
1. Check for a jumper properly installed across the delayed
interlock terminals in the I/O box.
2. If there are 2 external wires on these terminals, check to see if
an end switch for a device such as a pump, louver, etc. is tied
these interlocks. Ensure that the device and or its end switch
are functional. (jumper may be temporarily installed to test
interlock)
DIRECT DRIVE

Not yet installed.
Wrong polarity.
Signal defective at source.
Broken or loose wiring.
2. Signal is not isolated (floating).
3. Control Box signal type selection
switches not set for correct signal
type (voltage or current).
1. Check I/O Box to ensure signal is hooked up.
Hook up if not installed.
If installed, check polarity.
Measure signal level.
Check continuity of wiring between source and boiler.
2. Check signal at source to ensure it is isolated.
