problem
Choose one of the 3 methods below to reset the system.
1.
To reset ignition box when locked out. Turn off power supply
and remove batteries (if used) from the back up battery pack.
2.
To reset the DFC Board when the board goes into a lock
out condition and the LED is blinking 3 times using the
transmitter on/off button:
Step 1: Turn the system off by pressing the on/off
button to turn the system off.
Step 2: After approximately 2 seconds press the on/
off button on the transmitter again. The DFC Board will
reset and the ignition sequence will start again.
3.
To reset the DFC Board when the board goes into a lock out
condition and the LED is blinking 3 times by cycling fl ame:
Step 1: In the manual fl ame control mode, use the down
arrow button to reduce the fl ame to off, indicated by the
word OFF displayed on the transmitter LCD screen.
Step 2: Wait approximately 2 seconds and press the up
arrow button, the ignition sequence will start.
test solution
-
Verify the thermocouple/sensor is clean and the wiring is undamaged.
-
Verify the interrupter block is not damaged or too tight. Verify
connections from pilot assembly are tight; also verify the connections
are not grounding out to any metal. (Remember, the flame carries the
rectification current, not the gas. If flame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit
is broken. A wrong orifice or too high of an inlet pressure can cause the
pilot flame to lift)*. The sensor rod may need cleaning.
-
Reprogram receiver code.
-
Replace receiver.
-
Verify the valve / pilot assembly are properly grounded
-
Troubleshoot the system with the simplest on/off switch.
-
Clean sensor rod with a green Scotch-Brite™ pad to remove any
contamination that may have accumulated. Verify continuity with
multimeter with ohms set at the lowest range.
