SECTION 7- TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
7.1 INTRODUCTION
This troubleshooting guide is intended to aid
service/maintenance personnel in isolating the
cause of a fault in a KC 1000 Water Heater.
The troubleshooting procedures contained
herein are presented in tabular form on the
following pages. These tables are comprised of
three columns labeled: Fault Indication, Prob-
able Cause and Corrective Action. The
numbered items in the Probable Cause and
Corrective Action columns correspond to each
other. For example, Probable Cause No. 1
corresponds to Corrective Action No. 1, etc.
NOTE:
The front panel of the C-More Control Box
contains an RS232 port which can be interfaced
to a laptop computer or other suitable device.
This RS232 communication feature permits
service personnel to view menu items and data
logs which can be useful in isolating faults. Refer
to Section 8 of this manual for detailed RS232
communication set-up and procedures.
