WarmFlo Technology
Standby Mode Troubleshooting Helps
|
As an assistance for evaluating various field detected WarmFlo sequences, the following statements may be of help.
WarmFlo II Controller, with WF-EZ3, -EM3, -LGR4, -HP2
Conditions within main WF Board for Standby
-
1. J2-4 blue wire goes high, 22-35VDC
-
2. A1 tab jumpered or connected to 24VAC
-
-
-
5. Below, ODT dial temp. (EL to SB mode)
Hardware Conditions To Create Standby (WF yellow LED off)
- Utility Load Control
- Open or bad blue wires - external Load Control wiring
- Connect 24V to A1 tab - verify A1 tab
- Override switch, up - SB tab (left) goes to 0 ohms
-
External switch contact - SB tab to common
-
Something shorting L tab to Common - L tab goes to 1 volt DC
-
J2-2, brown wire – goes to 1 volt DC
Note: Brown wire – responds to heat call input
Conditions Which May Prevent Gas On
- OT above 50° (HP chip code)
- WF board Y tab input low or 0 volts
- J2-4 blue wire (Load Control) not high
- WF not controlling J2-2 brown wire - must go low, DC
- OT at some very high incorrect temperature
- WF K1 relay contact not making
- Board K1 or K2 open/inoperative
- Hang-up - power down, 10 seconds, power up
Electro EZ-Mate, WF+ Controller
Conditions Forcing Standby – these conditions are also monitored by the front panel EL Mode light being off.
- Utility Load Control
- SOT S timeout
- MU timeout
- OT below switchover set point - configuration mode setup dial switch also defines switchover function
- Front override switch
- Option WF-HP2 or WF-LGR4 interface has setup a standby condition
Conditions Which May Prevent Standby or Gas On
- No call for heat - T-call LED is off
- ODT is above 50° - configuration switch in HP - dual or non-gas
- OT at some very high incorrect temperature
- LED EL ON mode- utility is not controlling or front panel is not in override
- Somehow stat terminal block Y is also energized or at 24 volts
- Board K1 or K2 open/inoperative
- Hang-up - power down, 10 seconds, power up
Electro-Mate, DFC Series
Conditions, Forcing Standby
- Utility Load Control
- Front override switch
- X1 tab (top right) through a contact (typically W) to 24 volts
- Board K1 or K2 open/inoperative
- Option, SOT-EM
HeatChoice
Conditions, Forcing Standby
- Utility Load Control
- Front override switch
- Board K1 or K2 open/inoperative
- Open or cut brown jumper wire on board
- Option, SOT-1
Dual Energy Furnace, DFC Series
Conditions, Forcing Standby
- Utility Load Control
- Front override switch
- X1 tab (top right) through a contact (typically W) to 24 volts
- Board K1 or K2 open/inoperative
- SOT switchover time within controller
TS Boiler Control Board
Conditions Forcing Standby
- Utility Load Control
- Option plug-in, override switch
- External contact - SBSW tab to Common
- Option, SOT-1
