| CRC Parameters | The main control board has detected an internal fault. | • Replace the main control board. |
| No Error Stored | The main control board has detected an internal fault. | • Press the RESET button on the SMART TOUCH display panel. |
| Flue Temp Shutdown | The stack temperature has exceeded the set parameters for the boiler. | • Inspect the heat exchanger. |
| • Inspect the flue sensor and associated wiring. Measure the resistance of the flue sensor and compare to Table 3C Replace the sensor if necessary. | ||
| • Verify that the vent/air intake pipes are properly installed and that there are no obstructions. | ||
| • Replace the main control board. | ||
| Delta T Shutdown | The temperature rise across the heat exchanger has exceeded the set parameters for the boiler. | • Verify that the system is full of water and that all air has been properly purged from the system. |
| • Verify that the boiler is piped properly into the heating system. Refer to Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the SYNC Installation and Operation Manual for the proper piping methods for the SYNC boiler. | ||
| • Check for voltage to the boiler pump motor on a call for heat. If voltage is not present, check the wiring back to the pump relay. Replace the pump relay if necessary. | ||
| • If 120 VAC is present on a call for heat and the boiler pump is not operating, replace the pump. | ||
| • Verify that the boiler pump is set to the proper speed or that the pump is the proper size. Reference Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the SYNC Boiler Installation and Operation Manual for boiler pump specifications. | ||
| Outlet Temp Shutdown | Outlet water temperature has exceeded the maximum outlet water temperature. | • Verify that the system is full of water and that all air has been properly purged from the system. |
| • Verify that the boiler is piped properly into the heating system. Refer to Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the SYNC Installation and Operation Manual for the proper piping methods for the SYNC boiler. | ||
