Guidance Notes (should be read before using this fault finding guide)

1. Check you are using correct guide for your appliance.

See index and check model number.

2.Always start at the beginning of guide and work

through one step at a time.

3.AII guides deal with central heating (C/htg) first, then

hot water (D.HW.)

Do the same when following guides.

4. When checking 240v AC mains voltage use terminal 1

on appliance terminal strip as the neutral test point.

~5. When checking D.C. voltage use terminal 9 on

appliance terminal strip as the negative test point.

(All D.C. voltages are low voltage).

Note 1 It is law* that any work carried out on a gas

appliance must be carried out by a competent person

who is registered with CORGI (Council for Registered

Gas Installers).

Note 2 All work involving electricity must be carried

out by a competent person who is responsible for

electrical safety checks.

*Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations 1984

Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Amendment

Regulation 1990

6.ln order to use this fault finding guide ensure that the

operating mode of circulating pump is set to operating

mode (I) (selector plug adjacent to appliance terminal

strip makes electrical connection to contact one) see

diagram.

once and are not duplicated again in this guide.

Each illustration/picture has been given a reference

number.

Key

1. Yellow neon indicating power to operator.

2. Green neon indicating operation of Diaphragm pump.

As voltage decreases to diaphragm pump so neon loses

luminosity.

3. 0.16 amp anti surge fuse.

4. Time delay adjustment (factory set 5 minutes,

adjustable 1-12 minutes).

5. Fault suppression button (ignition lockout).

6. Indicating neon (lockout).

7. 2 x 2 amp fuses (L&N).

8. Variable potentiometer controlling central heating flow

temperature only.

9. Red neon rocker switch for power on.

10. Central heating rocker switch (not fitted on VC

appliances) .
