BLOWER VACUUM SWITCH – FAILED CLOSED

If the blower vacuum switch is closed before blower start-up,

the control module will not start the blower.

Pre-check is executed by the control module.

PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED

• Blower Vacuum Switch

• Control Module.

DIAGNOSTIC SEQUENCE

A. Disconnect the blower plug from the control module.

With the heater off, measure the control module receptacle’s

continuity across pins 1 and 2 (UHS, IDL2 & IDL) and pins 3 & 4

(IDL2 & IDL only). If either is closed, replace the control module.

B. If the relay is open, check the vacuum switch. If it is closed,

the blower vacuum switch failed and must be replaced.

BLOWER VACUUM SWITCH – FAILED OPEN

If the blower vacuum switch opens unexpectedly during operation, the

heater will shut down and attempt to re-light if there is still a call for

heat. If the blower vacuum switch does not close after the blower starts,

the control will stop the ignition trial & go into lockout. The blower will

continue to run for post-purge.

Automatic reset is immediate after the switch closes.

PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED

• Blower • Control Module/Ignition Board

• Blower Vacuum Switch • Gray Vacuum Tubing

DIAGNOSTIC SEQUENCE

A. Check for faulty vacuum switch tubing and replace if necessary.

B. Check for faulty vacuum switch wiring or connection. Wire harness

terminals must be securely fastened to spade terminals on vacuum switch.

C. Check for faulty blower wiring or connection. Plug on blower must be

securely fastened to control module.

D. Check for defective vacuum switch by disconnecting blower plug

from control module. Measure resistance across blower windings.

Winding resistance across lead should be in the following range:

IDL: Black to White 30-45 ohms Red to White 90-130 ohms

IDL2: Black to White 10-14 ohms Red to White 18-22 ohms

UHS: Red to White 8-9 ohms

If measured values vary substantially from these values,

the blower is defective and should be replaced.

E. Check for a defective blower relay by disconnecting blower plug from

the control module. Place heater in Pool or Spa mode. Lower set point

temperature to generate call for heat. During pre-purge period, measure

for 120VAC across pins 1 and 2 (UHS & IDL2) or L1 & IND low (IDL).

If 120VAC is not present, the control module relay is defective, which

means the control module must be replaced.

F. If the above steps do not resolve the problem (the error still exists),

the vacuum switch is defective and must be replaced.

BYPASS OPERATION (FOR EXTERNAL CONTROLS)

UHS, IDL2, IDL, ED2

The “bo” code is more of an information code than a fault code,

with the “bo” standing for Bypass Operation.

A “bo” code indicates the heater’s internal thermistor is disabled,

allowing the external thermostat control to operate.

This prevents any confusion between the two temperature-sensing

devices during heater operation — though the heater’s thermistor

will still prevent the heater for exceeding 104

not established within 3 seconds of power-up, an error will be displayed.

After communication is established, if it is lost for 30 seconds, the er-

ror will be displayed. The error code will be cleared upon a valid data

exchange between boards..

DIAGNOSTIC SEQUENCE

A. Power down heater and re-power. This is similar to rebooting a com-

puter.

B. If rebooting does not solve the problem, inspect the display interface

wiring. Ensure the display interface plug is securely attached to the

control module.

IGNITION FAILURE

(INSUFFICIENT FUEL)

UHS, IDL2, IDL, ED2

REQUIRED DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

• Manometer

• Multimeter

PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED

• Flame Sensor

• Ignitor

• Ignition Board / Control Module

• Gas Valve

While IF actually stands for Ignition Failure, this code is often

referred to as the Insufficient Fuel code – since the most common

reason for an “IF” code is inadequate gas supply to the heater.

—————

“IF” occurs when the heater passes all safety checks but the heater fails to

ignite.

Without the proper gas/air mixture, the heater will not light. Since the

heater has gone through most of the steps within the Sequence of Op-

eration, the problem is most likely gas supply or a faulty ignition board,

flame sensor, ignitor or gas valve.

Investigate and ensure that the gas train is correct.

The source of an IF code is found in the gas train 90% of the time.

DIAGNOSTIC SEQUENCE

A. Ensure that main gas shutoff adjacent to heater is open. Ensure that

knob on gas valve inside unit is in ‘‘on’’ position. If OK, proceed to

next step.

B. Check for low gas supply pressure by ensuring inlet gas supply pres-

sure is between the minimum and maximum values indicated on rating

plate. If OK, proceed to next step.

C. Inspect flame sense wiring, and ensure wire harness terminals are se-

curely fastened to flame sense and to control module. If OK, proceed

to next step.

D. Inspect gas valve wiring, and ensure wire harness terminals are se-

curely fastened to spade terminals on gas valve. If OK, proceed to next

step.

E. Check for gas valve failure or gas valve relay failure.1. Measure volt-

age across gas valve during trial for igintion.

I. If 24VAC is present and gas valve does not open, gas valve is de-

fective and must be replaced.2.

II. If 24VAC is not present, gas valve relay on control module is defec-

tive, which means the control module must be replaced.

F. Inspect gas orifices for blockages that could prevent gas flow. Also re-

move and inspect burners for blockages.
