Mixing Supply  Sensor Short Circuit

A short circuit has been detected in the

mixing supply sensor. The control con-

tinues to operate the injection pump at

a low speed (17 - 18%) as long as a

demand is present. To clear this error

message, correct the short circuit and

press any button on the control.

Mixing Supply  Sensor Open Circuit

An open circuit has been detected in

the mixing supply sensor. The control

continues to operate the injection pump

at a low speed (17 - 18%) as long as a

demand is present. To clear this error

message, correct the open circuit and

press any button on the control.

Boiler Sensor Open Circuit

An open circuit has been detected in

the boiler sensor. The boiler contact is

operated  as  if  a  boiler  sensor  is  not

installed. The control provides a boiler

enable and does not provide boiler pro-

tection. To  clear  this  error  message,

correct the open circuit and press any

button on the control. If the sensor was

deliberately removed, power down the

control  for  five  (5)  seconds  and  re-

power the control.

The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are isolated and/or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic noise.

Conversely, this Class B digital apparatus complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and meets all requirements of the Canadian Interfer-

ence-Causing Equipment Regulations. However, if this control does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which

can be determined by turning the control off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by reorienting or relocating

the receiving antenna, relocating the receiver with respect to this control, and/or connecting the control to a different circuit from that to

which the receiver is connected.
