If the combustion air damper has been
COMBUST AIR DAMPER:
selected for use (MASTER BOILER, AUX FUNCTIONS), and
the proof switch does not make, this fault will be displayed.
When the combustion air damper is used, the master' s BOILER3/
DAMPER relay contacts at J13 are closed. Th ese should be wired
to the combustion air damper or preferably an isolation relay. Th e
prove switch on the combustion air damper must be wired to J10B,
SPARE 1.
FAULT
COMBUSTION AIR DAMPER
When the master boiler receives a call for heat and needs to start
a boiler, the BOILER3/DAMPER relay K5 closes. At the same
time, the boiler is started, fi res, and continues to fi re. If the
combustion air damper does not prove within the proof time
specifi ed in the combustion air damper menu, the boiler will shut
down and display the fault. Th e fault on the Master boiler can be
cleared by removing the call for heat on the master boiler and fi xing
the combustion air damper problem. A combustion damper fault
on a Member boiler can only be cleared by power cycling.
Th e Master boiler controls a system damper and Member boilers
control their own respective dampers. When the call for heat is
removed, the damper will remain open for 30 seconds before closing.
Th is allows for post purge cycles to complete.
If the open sensor fault is displayed, the
OPEN ***** SENSOR:
sensor in the position reported was originally detected, but has since
opened. Th e boiler will shut down on any OPEN sensor.

DELTA TEMP > 40°F: If the temperature across the heat
exchanger rises above the maximum designated temperature for
the FIII model boiler, a warning or fault will be displayed. Th is
protection is required to prevent damage to the heat exchanger in
the event high diff erential temperatures are encountered. Th e fault
or warning condition may be changed in the AUX FUNCTIONS
menu under ALARM TYPE. Th e default condition is WARNING
with LIM->HALF RA TE = YES.
When this condition exists and the ALARM TYPE is set to
WARNING and LIM-> HALF RA TE, the boiler is limited to 1/2
it's input rate. So, if the boiler is trying to fi re at 80%, the rate is
limited to 40% until the temperature across the heat exchanger falls
at least 10°F below the maximum designated temperature for the
FIII boiler model. In this case: 40°F - 10°F = 30°F.
If the ALARM TYPE is set to FAULT, the boiler will display the
FAULT message and this condition will be treated as an interlock,
thus shutt ing down the boiler until the Delta Temp drops 10°F
below the maximum designated temperature.

DELTA TEMP > 40°F
RETURN TEMP < 130°F: If the Return Inlet temperature is
less than 130°F this warning will be displayed. Th is warning does
not aff ect operation and does not set the alarm relay. A log entry is
made to aide in diagnosing why this may be occuring. Condensing
will occur with return temperatures below 130°F and a shortened
heat exchanger life will occur.
