❖

I/O communication error.

The information coming from the I/O board is not read by the link board. It is

possible  that  the  telecommunication  wire  connecting  the  link  board  to  the  pressure  board  or  the  wire
connecting  the  pressure  board  to  the  I/O  board  has  a  loose  connection.  Make  sure  that  each  end  of
those  wires  is  well  connected  in  their  own  terminals.  It  is  also  possible  that  one  of  these  wires  is
damaged. If so, replace this wire.

❖

Pressure communication error.

The information coming from the pressure board is not read by the link

board. It is possible that the telecommunication wire connecting the link board to the pressure board has
a loose connection. Make sure that each end of those wires is well connected in their own terminals. It is
also possible that this wire could be damaged. If so, replace this wire. Finally, the pressure sensor on
the pressure board could be damaged. If wiring has been verified throughout and the problem remains,
the pressure board must be replaced.

SMOKE SMELL

❖

Venting system leaks.

Inspect all vent connections. This is a pressurized venting system. All vent

connector joints must be sealed and fastened in accordance with the pellet vent manufacturer's instructions
to ensure consistent performance and avoid smoke and ash spillage

(see

Section 6.1:

Operation

Warnings, Cautions and Recommendations

❖

Worn gaskets.

Gaskets may be allowing smoke spillage (doors, clean out traps, etc.). Make sure that all

gaskets are in good condition and replace them with original parts if necessary. Make sure the door is well
adjusted.

❖

Negative pressure.

A faint wood-burning odor during ignition or shut down is normal. Although, if this

increases beyond what is considered normal or if you notice an unusual soot build-up on walls or furniture,
check your venting system carefully for leaks and make sure all gaskets are in good condition. The furnace
exhaust blower produces a negative pressure in the room. It draws air from the inside of the room, through
the  furnace  and  then  outdoors.  In  the  same  manner,  other  appliances  can  also  create  a  larger  negative
pressure. In this case, as the air naturally flows from a high pressure point to a low-pressure point, a larger
negative  pressure  can  draw  smoke  from  the  inside  of  the  furnace  into  the  room.  The  furnace  can  also  be
affected by other mechanical ventilation systems, causing the same effect as mentioned previously. Using a
fresh  air  intake  will  prevent  negative  pressure  (see

Section 5.8: Combustion Air).

Also, make sure the

recommended maintenance schedule has been followed.

10.3.11

COMBUSTION AIR LACK

❖

Venting system is dirty.

Refer to

Section 9: Maintenance

❖

The flue is not properly installed.

Make certain the venting system meets the criteria in the installation

section of this manual as well as the venting system manufacturer’s instructions.

❖

Inadequate fuel is used.

Remove the burn pot, make sure that all openings are clear and check that no ash

has filled the tube around the igniter (Refer to

Section 9: Maintenance)

. Also, make sure that

recommended fuel is used (see

Section 6.2.1 Proper Fuel

) and settings are adjusted to the type of pellets

that are being used (see

Section 7.3.1: Adjusting the Combustion Level (Heat Output)

❖

Air intake channel is restricted.

Visually inspect the air intake channel that leads to the burn pot for

foreign material. Make sure that the air-intake shutter is functional and free of any obstruction.

❖

The combustion/exhaust blower failed.

Go to the "TROUBLESHOOT FURNACE" page on the LCD

screen and test the combustion and the exhaust blowers independently (see

Section 10.2: Testing

Components

). If one of them does not function, make sure there is power and that the blowers are properly

connected. If they still don’t work, check fuse B and D (see

Section 11.9: Access the fuses)

on the pellet

control board. A blown fuse will be darkened or will have a broken filament. If the fuses are in good
condition, the combustion or exhaust blower is probably defective; Replace the faulty part.
