Tab. 9-3 Possible malfunctions on the A1 BO (Part 3)
9.3 Control unit fault signals
The control unit detects malfunctions, e.g. sensor disruptions or short-circuits. The type of malfunction is displayed via a fault
code. The fault codes are explained in the documentation of the relevant ROTEX control.
9.4 Burner malfunctions
The LED in the reset button of the automatic firing units (fig 6-1, pos. 9) indicates the processes of the burner control. In the
normal mode, the LED transmits a brief flashing signal, followed by a long pause.
LED display in the event of a malfunction:
– LED burns steadily, the burner is shut off and locked.
– The continuous lighting is interrupted every 10 seconds and a flash code is broadcast which gives information about the
cause of the last fault.

Malfunction Possible cause Possible solution
Mixer device has thick
layer of oil or heavy
carbon deposits
Air supply line contaminated/clogged
• Clean air supply line
Flue gas pipe of the LAS is leaking
• Seal the flue gas pipe, change seal
Burner setting wrong
• Check/correct burner setting
Oil nozzle is wrong size
• Check/change nozzle type
Combustion air quantity wrong
• Measure fan pressure, correct burner setting
Suction line draws air (leakage)
• Seal suction line
Soot formation on the
air nozzle
Recirculation too low
• Open recirculation slightly
Solenoid valve at oil
pump does not open
Coil defective
• Change coil
Automatic firing unit faulty
• Change automatic firing unit
Automatic flame guard
does not actuate
Flame guard contaminated or defective
• Clean or change flame guard
Glass on light tube dirty
• Clean or change glass or light tube
STL switch off Water throughput too low due to air inclusion
• Vent system
Water flow too low due to valves closing too quickly
along the entire heating network
• Use slow closing or timed valves, if needed, install overflow valve
Pump standstill
• Check network connection, change pump if necessary
Storage tank switched off in operation without
hot water storage tank
• Disconnect storage temperature sensor
• Switch off storage tank charging circuit
Flue gas temperature
sensor switch off
Flue gas temperature too high
• Clean the boiler
