Checking temperature sensors
The boiler temperature sensors (inlet water, outlet water, system water, flue, and outdoor air) are all resistance type devices. The
following tables show the correct values for the sensors at various temperatures. Use an ohmmeter to read the resistance of the
sensor at a known temperature. If the resistance of the sensor does not closely match its corresponding table, replace the sensor
It is important to note that the flue and outlet inlet air - S11/S13 #1 and S12/S14 #2 water sensors have two temperature sensing
devices in one housing. These devices are designated as S1/S9, outlet sensor and S3/S10, flue sensor. Please reference the wiring
diagram in the Crest Installation and Operation Manual for correct terminal location.
