    What to do if Kromschroder BCU 465 display flashes and indicates 51?

      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes 51, it indicates safety interlocks have discontinuity or there is no voltage at terminal #5. Check the safety interlocks. It can also mean there is a short-circuit at ignition or valve output, so check the wiring and fine-wire fuse F1 (3.15 A, slow-blow, H, to IEC 127-2/5).

    What does it mean when Kromschroder BCU 465 Control Unit display flashes and indicates 02 or 03 at start-up?

      Ernest CamachoAug 21, 2025
      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and shows 02 or 03 at start-up, even when the flame is verified visually, it could be due to several reasons: * The set value for the switch-off sensitivity is too high. * A short-circuit on the ionization electrode due to soot, dirt, or moisture on the insulator. * The ionization electrode is not correctly positioned at the flame edge. * The gas/air ratio is incorrect. * The flame is not contacting the burner ground because of excessively high gas or air pressure. * The burner or BCU is not adequately grounded. * There is a short-circuit or discontinuity on the flame signal cable. * The UV sensor is soiled. Correct the fault.

      Susan SmithAug 23, 2025
      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and indicates 32, it means the supply voltage of the unit is below the rated voltage. Ensure the correct voltage supply is used; check the technical data for maximum ratings.

    What does it mean when Kromschroder BCU 465 display flashes and indicates 0?

      Jeffrey HillAug 26, 2025
      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and displays 0, it means the BCU has detected that the Proof of Closure Switch (OCS) input has no proof of closure signal in the standby position. Make sure that the wiring is correct: the BCU needs line voltage when the valve is closed and no voltage signal when the valve is opened. If the wiring is correct, check the switch and the valve for proper operation. If there is any doubt, remove the valve immediately.

    What does it mean when Kromschroder BCU 465 display flashes and displays X?
    • C
      Christine YatesAug 28, 2025
      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and displays X, it indicates that the BCU has no information that the OCS contact is still open. Ensure the wiring is correct: the BCU needs line voltage when the valve is closed and no voltage signal when the valve is opened during start-up. If the wiring is correct, check the switch and the valve for proper operation. If there is any doubt of correct operation, remove the valve immediately.

      Mr. Andrew HoffmanAug 30, 2025
      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and indicates 2 at start-up, it means the BCU has no information that the OCS contact has opened. Ensure the wiring is correct: the BCU needs line voltage when the valve is closed and no voltage signal when the valve is opened during start-up. If the wiring is correct, check the switch and the valve for proper operation. If you have any doubt of correct operation, remove the valve immediately.

      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and indicates 52, it means the BCU is being permanently reset. Apply voltage to terminal 3 only for reset, approximately for 1 second.

    What to do if Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and indicates 10?
    • K
      Kimberly BlakeSep 4, 2025
      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and indicates 10, it means the BCU is repeatedly reset (more than 5 times in 15 minutes). Avoid automatic reset by PLC or without monitoring the burner. Reset the BCU manually.

      Joseph HawkinsSep 6, 2025
      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and indicates 30, it indicates an abnormal data change in the parameters set for the BCU. Reset the adjustable parameters to their original values using BC-Soft or remove the unit and return it to the manufacturer for inspection.

      Sharon MayerSep 9, 2025
      If the Kromschroder Control Unit display flashes and displays 01, it could be due to: * The BCU has detected a flame signal simulation without the burner having been ignited (extraneous signal). * The UV tube in the UV sensor UVS is defective and permanently indicates an extraneous signal. Exchange the UV tube, order part # 04065304 – note the operating instructions for the UV sensor. * Flame signal through ceramic insulation.
