Anomaly 1: Lack of Flame
In each attempt to ignite the burner, the fan and the smoke pressure switch are activated. After the pressure switch changes, the first ignition attempt is made with the gas valve and transformer active for 5 seconds and the modulation current set to 50%. If no flame is detected, the flame control waits 10 seconds before trying again. After three unsuccessful attempts, anomaly 1 is generated, leading to the boiler’s lockout. With LPG, there is only one ignition attempt.
Anomaly 2: Parasitic Flame
This anomaly occurs if, with the burner off, the system detects an ionization current, indicating the presence of a parasitic flame. In this case, the flame control locks.
Anomaly 3: Overtemperature Protection of Supply
There are various scenarios for this anomaly. In the absence of ignition, exceeding 105°C does not generate anomalies. If the burner turns off due to high temperature, a 10-second timer is activated. If the sensor exceeds 105°C in this period, it results in a lockout. Additionally, if at ignition the sensor is above 105°C and does not drop below 100°C within 60 seconds, a lockout occurs. Finally, if the sensor reaches 105°C during ignition, this leads to an immediate lockout.
Anomaly 4: Smoke Thermostat Intervention
The opening of the smoke thermostat contact during operation causes the immediate shutdown of the burner and the anomaly. If after 20 minutes the contact is closed, the boiler can restart; otherwise, it remains in anomaly. The anomaly can be reset after a service intervention.
Anomaly 5: Smoke Anomaly
In each ignition attempt, the fan is powered, and the Air Pressure Sensor must reach a predetermined value. If this does not happen within 25 seconds, an anomaly occurs. During this condition, no operation requests can be satisfied. The protection is deactivated as soon as the Air Pressure Sensor returns to normal values.
Anomaly 6: Flame Lost 5 Times in 4 Minutes
If the burner is on and suddenly the flame signal disappears, and this condition occurs 5 times in 4 minutes, the flame control generates anomaly 6 and locks the system. A reset is necessary to restore functionality.
Anomaly 7: Wiring Anomaly
This anomaly occurs when the Air Pressure Sensor is connected, but the absence of the bridge at terminals 4-5 of the X6 connector is detected. This causes the deactivation of the burner ignition commands, leaving all operation requests inactive. The protection is deactivated once the fault is resolved.
Anomaly 8: Heat Exchanger Overtemperature
If the dual supply sensor exceeds 99°C, anomaly 8 is activated. This anomaly is not displayed on the screen but is only saved in the history. It is resolved when the temperature drops below 90°C.
Anomaly 10: Faulty Heating NTC Sensor
A failure of one of the NTC sensors in the dual supply sensor (short circuit or open circuit) deactivates the burner ignition commands. No operation requests can be satisfied until the fault is resolved.
Anomaly 11: Faulty Sanitary NTC Sensor
The failure of the sanitary NTC sensor (short circuit or open circuit) causes the deactivation of the burner ignition commands in sanitary mode. The protection is deactivated upon resolving the fault.
Anomaly 12: Faulty Microaccumulation NTC Sensor
A failure (short circuit or open circuit) in the Microaccumulation NTC sensor deactivates the burner ignition commands in sanitary mode. Only heating requests can be satisfied until the fault is resolved.
Anomaly 14: Faulty Safety NTC Sensor
The failure of one of the NTC sensors in the dual supply sensor (short circuit or open circuit) causes the deactivation of the burner ignition commands. No operation requests can be satisfied until the fault is resolved.
Anomaly 15: Repeated F05 Anomaly
If anomaly 5 (related to the modulating fan in a sealed chamber) occurs 5 times in 15 minutes, anomaly 15 of the block type is activated. The boiler will require a reset for restoration.
Anomaly 34: Mains Voltage Below 180Vac
When the mains voltage falls below 180Vac, anomaly 34 is activated. The boiler continues to operate down to a minimum of about 170Vac. The anomaly is resolved when the voltage exceeds 185Vac.
Anomaly 35: Abnormal Mains Frequency
The board detects an incongruence between the programmed mains frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) and the actual one, activating anomaly 35. Resolution is achieved by modifying the parameter related to the frequency.
Anomaly 37: Insufficient System Pressure
If the system pressure falls below the minimum value (0.4 bar by default), the burner shuts off and the pump stops. Resolution is achieved by increasing the pressure to the nominal value (0.8 bar by default) plus 0.2 bar. After resolution, the FH Mode is automatically activated.
Anomaly 39: Faulty External NTC Sensor
A failure (short circuit or open circuit) in the external NTC sensor does not deactivate the burner ignition commands. If the system was operating in Sliding Temperature mode, modulation will be adjusted to the user’s set heating setpoint. The anomaly is deactivated upon resolving the fault.
Anomaly 40: High System Pressure
Excessive system pressure (over 3 bar) leads to the immediate shutdown of the burner and stopping of the pump. The anomaly is resolved when the pressure drops below 2.5 bar. After resolution, the FH Mode is automatically activated.
Anomaly 41: Protection for Disconnected Sensor
In each ignition attempt, the system activates a 15-second timer after opening the gas valve. If the temperature read by the supply sensor varies by ±1°C, the sequence continues; otherwise, after 10 seconds, a new attempt begins. After three attempts without temperature variation, the burner shuts off, and the flame control locks. The pump continues to operate for the post-circulation time specified.
Anomaly 42: Protection for Difference in Supply Sensors
This protection activates when the two supply sensors show a temperature difference greater than 12°C. In this case, the burner ignition commands are deactivated. The protection deactivates when the difference falls below 10°C.
Anomaly 43: Heat Exchanger Protection
If the increase in temperature detected by the heating sensor exceeds 6°C/second, this anomaly is activated. This results in the deactivation of the burner ignition commands. The anomaly automatically resets when the temperature drops below 40°C.
Anomaly 47: Protection for Disconnected Pressure Sensor
Anomaly 47 is activated immediately if the connector of the system’s water pressure sensor is disconnected. The protection is deactivated as soon as the fault is resolved.
Anomaly 50: Modureg Disconnected
This anomaly occurs in case of contact opening of the Modureg during the operation of the boiler. The anomaly is activated immediately and is resolved as soon as the fault is repaired.
