SWITCHING THE BOILER OFF
The boiler can be turned off by turning the rocker switch, located on the underside of
control panel, to the OFF position.
PLEASE NOTE: For longer periods of shutdown e.g. While away on holiday, switch OFF the
mains (electrical supply) and turn OFF the OIL supply.
If shutdown occurs during cold weather ensure boiler is protected against frost damage.
BURNER LOCKOUT
The burner has an independent control system (Burner Control Box); this includes a flame
detector (Photocell) which senses the presence of a flame. In the event of flame failure,
the burner Control Box activates a second re-ignition sequence. Should the Photocell not
detect a flame presence within 15 seconds the burner goes to LOCKOUT and shuts down.
Continued LOCKOUTS are a result of a fault in the operation of the boiler and can be
attributed to following examples:
- An interruption of the fuel supply .
- Electrical Supply fault e.g. Extreme low voltage.
- Failure of a Burner component.
- A fault within the heating system .
- Burner combustion not being correct.
The Burner Reset button on the Control Box and the red Lockout Indicator on the boiler
control panel illuminates to indicate that a lockout has occurred.
In the event of the Burner locking out, do not attempt to restart the Burner by pressing the
Reset Button on the Burner Control Box for at least 2 minutes. A Bi-metallic timer within the
Control Box has a minimum cooling time of 45 seconds thus the 2 minute interval will
ensure that this Bi-metallic timer has cooled and is therefore in a position where it may be
reset
RESTARTING AFTER LOCKOUT
When lockout has occurred, inspect for any obvious causes e.g. oil leaks.
Also check the fuel line from the tank to the boiler and that any oil shut off valve has not
been inadvertently closed.
