17 Fault Finding
Fault finding must be carried out by a competent person.
WARNING. Always isolate the boiler from the electrical supply
before carrying out any electrical replacement work.
On completion of a fault finding task that has required the
disconnection and making of electrical connections then check
for earth continuity, polarity and resistance to earth must be
carried out.
If any gas-carrying components are disturbed, removed or
replaced it will be necessary on completion to check for gas
soundness with leak detection fluid.
Before trying to operate the boiler make sure that :
• All gas supply cocks are open and that the gas supply has
been purged of air.
• There is a permanent mains supply to the boiler.
• The heating system pressure is at least 1 bar.
• The fuse on the PCB is intact.
Preliminary electrical system checks, as outlined in a multimeter
instruction book, are the first checks to be carried out during a
fault finding procedure.
Should there be any doubt about the voltage supply to any of
the components, it is possible to carry out a simple electrical
test to ensure all is operational in that area.
To carry out the electrical test, gain access to the main Printed
Circuit Board (PCB) , and measure the voltages according to
table 2.

A fault code is displayed on the left hand side of the LCD display, whilst at the same time, the letters appear with a
telephone symbol.

System pressure sensor
The resistance of the sensor at various pressures is
as follows :
0 bar ...................... between 280 Ω and 320 Ω
1 bar ...................... between 195 Ω and 220 Ω
3 bar ...................... between 93 Ω and 143 Ω
The In-board fault diagnostic system. Should a fault
occur on the boiler, the warning LED at the top of the
user display
will illuminate and the LCD display will
indicate the precise area where the fault has occurred.
