Service Manual
Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Always
disconnect power to the boiler
before servicing. Failure to comply
could result in severe personal
injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
Never jumper (bypass) any device
except for momentary testing as
outlined in the Troubleshooting
chart. Severe personal injury, death,
or substantial property damage can
result.
Before troubleshooting:
1. Have the following items:
a. Voltmeter that can check 120 vac, 24 vac, and
12 vdc.
b. Continuity checker.
c. Contact thermometer.
2. Check for 120 vac (minimum 102 vac to maximum
132 vac) to boiler.
3. Make sure thermostat is calling for heat and
contacts (including appropriate zone controls) are
closed. Check for 24 vac between thermostat wire
nuts and ground.
4. Make sure all external limit controls are installed
and operating.
Check the following:
1. Wire connectors to control module are securely
plugged in at the module and originating control.
2. Gas pressures:
• Maximum: 14 inches w.c. (natural and LP) with
no flow (lockup) or with boiler on
• Minimum: 4 inches w.c. (natural), 8 inches w.c.
(LP) with gas flowing (verify during boiler
startup)
Check control module fuses
ALWAYS check control module fuses before
replacing control module or any major
components (blower, etc.). If one of these fuses
is blown, it can prevent the control module or
other components from operating.
1. Turn OFF the power to the boiler at the external line
switch.
2. Remove top access cover.
3. Remove the control module cover.
4. Inspect fuses F1, F2 and F3, see FIG 3-1 below.
F3 - .80 AMP FUSE
24V DC POWER SUPPLY
F1 - 5 AMP FUSE
PUMPS
F2 - 3.15 AMP FUSE
BLOWER
Figure 3-1 Control Module Fuses
5. The boiler is shipped with three (3) spare fuses in a plastic bag
attached to the control module cover.
6. If necessary, replace open fuse (F3 is .80 amps, F2 is 3.15 amps,
and F1 is 5 amps).
Note: Fuses F1, F2 and F3 are all slow blow fuses.
Do not jumper fuse or replace with any fuse
except as specified. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
7. Install control module cover and top access cover after fuse
inspection.
8. Restore power to the boiler at the external line switch and
verify boiler operation (Section 10 - Start-up in the Knight
Boiler Installation and Operation Manual) after completing
boiler service.
