False-flame
detection
1.
Pre ignition false-flame
If a flame signal is detected continuously for 3 seconds before combustion (stand-by, pre-purge, pre-
ignition), a false-flame error 004E (automatically cleared) is displayed on the front panel and the system
performs continuous post-purge and operates the pump.
2.
Post purge false-flame
If a flame signal is detected continuously for 3 seconds when the system performs post-purge as fuel
supply is stopped, a false-flame error 004E (automatically cleared) is displayed on the front panel and the
system performs continuous post-purge and operates the pump.
Check items
1.
Check if gas leaks due to defective seals on the main gas valve.
2.
Check if proper spark is discharged from the electrode.
3.
Check if gas is supplied within the proper pressure range.
4.
Check the PCB and replace if defective.
Check method
Failure mode
Cause
Check method
Flame
before/after
combustion
Leakage from
main gas valve
Replace the gas flame if flame occurs before combustion or if there is remaining flame
after combustion is stopped.
Error before/after
combustion
Discharge of
electricity from
electrode
Spark discharges from electrode to flame sensor at ignition.
Replace or correct location of flame detecting rod.
Gas valve
Gas may leak as the main gas valve is pushed by the gas supply over the standard
pressure.
Check the supply pressure: NG: 3.5" ~ 10.5” WC, LP: 8.0" ~ 13.0"W.C
If the gas pressure is too high, notify the gas supplier about the issue, and if
necessary, replace the gas valve.
If there is a gas leak close the gas supply valve and repair the unit before using
the system.
Other trouble
Defective PCB
If the issue continues despite the checking of items above, replace the PCB.
Is the flame detected in
the burner when there
is no ignition?
Check the current #1 of CN 2: 1 - 20μA
(see page 56 for Wiring Diagram)
External noise current
Clean or replace flame rod
NO
YES
