Malfunctions

13 Malfunctions
Malfunctions are signalised by the operation indicator. During all active
operating phases of the heater, all components, the operating voltage
and functional irregularities are monitored and recorded. A malfunction
causes the heater to terminate its operation by a fault shut-off and to go
into the fault lock-out mode to prevent the heater from an automatic
combustion restart. At the same time the operation indicator begins
immediately to flash after detection of the malfunction with a specific
code depending on the kind of malfunction. If the heater remains ener-
gized, the operation indicator keeps flashing until the heater is freed.
The flash code comprises of a sequence of 5 short flashes depicting the
break and a defined number of long pulses corresponding to the
malfunction number, which are to be counted. After that the cycle starts
with 5 short flashes again and so on.
The meaning of the number of long pulses is shown in the table below.
The fault lock-out occurs:
– if combustion was not established during start-up
– Flame interruption
– if the control device itself has failed or peripheral components are
defective
– undervoltage within a defined time period
– extrinsic light
Variants to reset the heater after a fault lock-out:
1. Switch off the main switch (MS) and then turn it on again.
2. Reset the control device, e.g. through disconnecting it from the
power supply.

Additional to the fault lock-out a heater lock-out occurs if safety related
components such as the flame guard and the overheating protection are
affected as well after reaching a counter threshold of repeated malfunc-
tions and flame interruptions. The heater lock-out is saved by the control
device.
Under the following conditions a heater lock-out occurs:
– overheat protection/ function has been activated or is defective
– water temperature sensor is defective
– solenoid valve is defective
– flame guard is defective
– repeated malfunctions
– repeated flame interruptions
– flame within the purge cycle 2
– malfunction of the control device
In case of a heater lock-out, the heater is to be maintained and released
by Spheros trained personnel
Before deleting the fault or heater lock-out the failure cause must
be remedied!
Variants to reset the heater after a heater lock-out:
1. Immediately after the malfunction occurs (within 2 min)
– Keep the heater energized.
– If no purge cycle took place, when for example the malfunction did
occur within the initial cycle, skip the next point.
– Await the purge cycle (Attention: Reading the flash code 8, the purge
cycle takes place without burner motor).
