UIM LED’s
The three LED’s to the right of the LCD indicate the status
of the overall system. The red LED indicates that a fault
has been detected and the system has stopped running.
It is on continuously for soft faults and flashes for hard
faults. The Yellow LED indicates that the boiler is in a
ready mode waiting for a call for heat command. When
on continuously the Green LED indicates that the system
is in the heating mode. If it is flashing it indicates that the
UIM is in the initialization mode and the touch switches are
being calibrated.
The VF
®
boiler has a display on the UIM which is a scaled display
indicatingthecurrentringrateoftheboiler(25%to100%).
Fault Messages and Troubleshooting Guide
The EMC 5000 modulation system does excessive self-
diagnostics and displays detected faults on the UIM display
in an easy to read manner. There are approximately 80
different faults that can be detected. Some of the faults are
caused by internal problems and some by external causes.
Thefaultscreatedifferenttypesofsystemlockouts(shut

user to manually restart the system. Soft lockouts can be reset
by the user or after 60 minutes the system will automatically
clear the error and restart. Auto Reset lockouts will monitor
the cause of the fault and it the fault clears itself the system
resets itself. The following table shows the fault messages
and some possible troubleshooting hints:
