When the call for heat is complete, or the unit
reaches its setpoint temperature, the gas valve
will close, and the fan will continue to run for
its 30 second post-purge. If a pump time delay
is used, the pump will continue to run for the
specified amount of time (adjustable from 0.1 to
10 minutes).

8.2 Resolving Lockouts
There are many causes of lockouts. The four
most common causes are: (1) inadequate gas supply,
(2) poor combustion, (3) ignitor failure (4) combustion
air.

air.
1.
Inadequate gas supply: Before proceeding, ensure
that the gas supply has not been shutoff or the LP
tank (LP boilers) is not empty. Then, restart the
boiler and observe the operational cycle. After
the pre-purge time, the unit should light. If it
does not, consult the factory.

does not, consult the factory.
2.
Poor Combustion: Poor combustion should be
suspected if there is a strong flue gas odor. The
odor may result from an improper gas/air ratio

ratio is suspected, consult the factory.
3.
Ignitor failure: If the boiler goes through a
normal start cycle but combustion does not
occur, ignitor failure should be suspected. Check
the ignitor by unplugging the ignitor plug and
measuring the ignitor resistance. It should be
50-80 (Ω) ohms. If the resistance is not 50-80
ohms (Ω), replace the ignitor. If the resistance is
correct, reset the boiler and check for 120 VAC
at the ignitor plug during the start cycle. If there
is no voltage, replace the faulty ignitor wire
harness.

4.
Inadequate combustion air: If the boiler goes
through a normal ignition cycle, and shuts off
after the blower ramps up to full speed, an
abnormal restriction in the air intake or exhaust
system should be suspected. Check the air filter
for buildup of debris and clean filter if necessary.
Inspect all exhaust venting and intake venting for
blockages. Remove any blockages and inspect
and replace any damaged vent sections. If the
unit still continues to lockout after igniting,
consult the factory.

Once the reason for the lockout has been
identified and resolved you can reset the unit by
pressing the manual reset button (see Detail A in

8.3 Delayed Ignition - Possible Causes
8.3.1 High Lockup Pressure (LP Appliances)
- Occurs on Start-up
High lock up pressure is the most common
cause of delayed ignitions on LP fueled appliances. It
may result from an improper second stage regulator
selection or from a faulty regulator.
may result from an improper second stage regulator
selection or from a faulty regulator.
Lock up can be detected by measuring the gas
supply pressure to the appliance at the inlet pressure
port on the gas valve. The gas supply to the appliance
must be shut off before making any connections.
To check: use a water manometer or pressure gauge
with a scale reading of at least 25 in. W.C. or 15 oz/
in

8.3.2 Gas Valve Regulation
Gas valve regulation problems can also cause
delayed ignitions. If gas valve regulation problems are
suspected, consult the factory. Do not attempt field
adjustment or repair.

8.3.3 Defective Burner - Occurs on Startup
or at Burner Shutdown
A defective burner can cause a delayed ignition.
If the gas supply pressure is proper, and the gas valve
is functioning properly, the burner should be inspected.
There should be no distortion or perforations in the
burner. Replace if indicated.

There should be no distortion or perforations in the

8.4 Short Cycling — Boiler
Because the Brute Magnum is a modulating
boiler, and its input will decrease when there is a
reduction in heating load, short cycling is greatly
reduced. If the heating load drops below the minimum
input of the boiler for an extended period, the boiler
will have a tendency to short cycle. This can be a
symptom of improper control strategy or setpoints, or
a load distribution problem. See Section 5.5 regarding
controller setup. Contact your Representative to
discuss possible remedies.
