E1

Fault E1 (Detailed 202) — Burner fault: ionization current too high

The burner is in fault mode because the ionization current detected during calibration is too high. This current is crucial for detecting the flame, and an incorrect reading indicates a combustion issue.

E2

Fault E2 (Detailed 201) — Burner fault: low heating water flow rate

The burner is in fault mode because the heating water flow rate is too low during calibration. Insufficient water flow can lead to overheating and prevent the boiler from operating correctly.

E3

Fault E3 (Detailed 204) — Burner fault: low heat transfer or temperature limiter shutdown

The burner is in fault mode because heat transfer is too low during calibration, or the temperature limiter has activated and caused a shutdown. This indicates the boiler is not effectively transferring heat or has reached a critical temperature.

E5

Fault E5 (Detailed 226) — Burner blocked: faulty flame amplifier

The burner is blocked due to a fault with the flame amplifier. The flame amplifier is a crucial component for detecting and confirming the presence of a flame, and a fault here prevents the boiler from operating safely.

E7

Fault E7 (Detailed 192) — Burner fault: ionization current too low

The burner is in fault mode because the ionization current detected during calibration is too low. A low ionization current can mean the flame is not strong enough or not being properly detected.

E8

Fault E8 (Detailed 189) — Burner fault: ionization current outside permissible range

The burner is in fault mode because the ionization current is outside the acceptable operating range. This could indicate issues with the gas supply, the gas type, or the ionization electrode itself.

EA

Fault EA (Detailed 193) — Burner fault: ionization current deviation too great

The burner is in fault mode because the ionization current measured during calibration shows a significant deviation from its previous normal level. This indicates an unstable or inconsistent flame detection.

EB

Fault EB (Detailed 194) — Burner fault: repeated flame loss during calibration

The burner is in fault mode because it repeatedly loses the flame during the calibration process. This suggests an instability in the combustion process or issues with flame detection.

EC

Fault EC (Detailed 67 or 195) — Burner fault: parameter fault during calibration

The burner is in fault mode due to a parameter fault that occurred during calibration. This indicates an issue with the boiler's internal settings or configuration while trying to optimize its operation.

ED

Fault ED (Detailed 191) — Burner fault: internal fault

The burner is in fault mode due to an internal fault within the boiler's control system. This is a general error indicating a problem with the boiler's internal electronics or software.

EE

Fault EE (Detailed 132) — Burner fault: missing or weak flame signal at start

The burner is in fault mode because there is no flame signal or a very weak flame signal detected when the burner attempts to start. This prevents the boiler from igniting safely.

EF

Fault EF (Detailed 138) — Burner fault: flame lost immediately after ignition

The burner is in fault mode because the flame is lost almost immediately after it has successfully ignited, during the safety time. This indicates an instability or failure to maintain combustion.

F1

Fault F1 (Detailed 135) — Burner fault: flue gas temperature exceeded limit

The burner is in fault mode because the maximum flue gas temperature limit of 230°F (110°C) has been exceeded. This is a critical safety shutdown indicating potential overheating or restricted exhaust.

F2

Fault F2 (Detailed 129) — Burner fault: fixed high limit switch open

The burner is in fault mode because the fixed high limit switch has opened (activated). This safety switch trips when the boiler's internal temperature becomes excessively high, preventing damage.

F3

Fault F3 (Detailed 139) — Burner fault: flame signal already present at start

The burner is in fault mode because a flame signal was already detected when the burner attempted to start. This is a safety mechanism to prevent gas ignition if a flame is falsely detected, indicating a potential sensor issue.

F8

Fault F8 (Detailed 148) — Burner fault: gas valve closes too late

The burner is in fault mode because the gas valve closes too late. This is a critical safety fault as it means gas flow is not being cut off promptly, which can lead to unsafe gas accumulation.

F9

Fault F9 (Detailed 151 or 152) — Burner fault: fan speed too low during start

The burner is in fault mode because the fan speed is too low during the burner start sequence. The fan is essential for proper combustion air supply and flue gas exhaust, so low speed prevents safe operation.

FA

Fault FA (Detailed 154) — Burner fault: fan not at standstill

The burner is in fault mode because the fan is not at a standstill when it should be. This can indicate a stuck fan or a control issue, preventing the boiler from starting or operating safely.

FC

Fault FC (Detailed 190) — Burner fault: faulty gas valve or blocked vent system

The burner is in fault mode because either the gas valve is faulty, there's an issue with the modulation valve control, or the vent system is blocked. This impacts gas supply and exhaust, preventing safe operation.

FD

Fault FD (Detailed 227) — Burner fault: boiler coding card missing (B7 displayed)

The burner is in a fault state, and an additional fault B7 is displayed, indicating that the boiler coding card is missing. This card contains essential operational parameters for the boiler.
