Installation & Servicing

Detailed instructions on the cleaning and adjustment or
replacement of  faulty components are contained in the
'Servicing' section of this publication.

Before attempting any electrical fault finding ALWAYS carry
out preliminary electrical system checks, i.e. earth continuity,
polarity and resistance to earth using a suitable meter.

Check mains neon on PCB.

Is it illuminated?

YES

NO

Is there a live supply to

both terminals of overheat

'stat? (If no overheat 'stat

fitted go to next step).

YES

NO

Check the control 'stat is

set to max and mains

switch is on.

Is there a regular spark

from tube SG1 on the

PCB?

Check mains supply and fuses. Check controls are calling for heat. Check

boiler wiring connections are OK. Check if the TTB downdraught thermostat has

operated in adverse wind conditions.

NO

Can the overheat thermostat

be reset with the system cold?

Replace fuse but before restoring power check for short circuit

between L/N and L/Earth on all components plugged into the PCB.

Check gap at ignition electrode. Check electrode and leads are not damaged.

Check the lead is not shorting to earth. Rectify as necessary.

Replace the overheat 'stat.

Has the fuse on the PCB blown?

Reset the overheat 'stat. Set control

'stat to maximum.  Allow the boiler to

reach temperature - if the overheat 'stat
trips again, measure flow temperature.

If above 90°C 

replace control 'stat.

If below 90°C

 replace overheat 'stat.

YES

Is there a spark at the

ignition electrode?

Does the pilot burner light?

NO

Is there a gas supply to the boiler &

has the gas supply been purged of air?

Connect or rectify and

purge the system of air.

NO

YES

Replace the PCB.

NO

YES

NO

YES

NO

YES

NO

YES

NO

Ensure pilot and main gas valve leads are not crossed

over. Is there a supply voltage at the pilot gas valve?

Is the pilot injector

blocked or the pilot

supply pipe damaged?

Rectify or replace as necessary

Check connections at the gas

valve and rectify as necessary.

If no connection fault found

replace PCB.

Replace gas valve

YES

Does the spark stop

after the pilot is lit?

YES

Does the main burner

cross-light from the pilot?

NO

Check polarity of mains supply. Check

continuity of ignition lead.

Does spark now stop when pilot is lit?

Is there a supply voltage at the main gas valve?

Check connections

to PCB.

If no fault change

PCB.

Is the main injector blocked?

Replace main gas solenoid valve.

Does the main burner light?

YES

NO

YES

Clear blockage and refit.
Does main burner light?

YES

NO

Replace

gas

valve

YES

NO

YES

NO

Boiler

operating

satisfactorily

Check for correct gas

supply pressure.

Rectify as necessary.

NO

YES

YES

NO
