3.  Control locks out after Trial For Ignition (TFI).

a.  No oil to burner.
b.  Shorted electrodes.
c.  Nozzle clogged.
d.  Airflow too high.
e.  Ignitor module defective.
f.  CAD cell defective.
g.  Oil valve stuck open or closed.
Note:  The Safety Monitoring Circuit (SMC) is  

      

designed to provide lockout in the event of a  

      

stuck or welded motor relay.

C.  IQ  OIL  BOILER  CONTROL
 

When a problem occurs with the boiler operation, the IQ 

Control System easily provides specific, valuable information 

to help resolve the issue quickly.  The display on the Boiler 

Control should be the first place to check, see Figure 36.
1.  Error Code 

"Err"

 IS NOT 

displayed on the Boiler 

Control:  This is one of two conditions that occur when 

a problem arises.  In this circumstance, the following 

table can be used to determine the problem and 

possible causes.

NOTICE

If flame is not established within 15 seconds of 

oil valve actuation (known as Trial For Ignition 

[TFI]) lockout will occur.  Lockout is indicated 

by a red LED solid-on located on the oil primary 

control.
Hard Lockout will occur if the Oil Primary 

Control locks-out three (3) times during a call 

for heat.  This is indicated by red light reset 

button solid-on.

  BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING

   The following pages contain trouble shooting tables for 

use in diagnosing control problems.  When using these 

tables the following should be kept in mind:
1.  This information is only meant to be used by a 

professional heating technician as an aid in diagnosing 

boiler problems.

2.  Where applicable, follow all precautions outlined in 

Section IX, System Start-Up .

3.  In general, these tables assume that there are no loose 

or miswired electrical connections.  Before using these 

tables inspect all electrical connections on the boiler to
