f09 fault on a Munchkin80

Flow Gradient Limit is something that I saw on nearly every boiler that I worked on and it is nothing. Essentially it appears when the supply and return delta is higher than the control expects. On a cold start, that is nearly every cycle. This has nothing to do with the F09.

The F09 could stem from low gas pressure, lean gas mixture, or condensate issues as listed above. Check the flame current with the software. It should never fall below 1.0 at any point. 2.0 to 4.0+ is the normal range.

If it is falling below, the usual cause is the gas/air mixture. Check the CO or CO2 levels out the vent.

Keep HTP in the loop with this- they want to help.

    What's the flame signal read?

    the digital readout and/ or that software will tell you.

    How long has it been installed? Was it set up with a combustion analyzer? What were the hi and low fire readings? I like to record them in the owners manual or on the boiler jacket itself.

    Check Condensate

    Have you checked to be sure the condensate drain is clear? We had a 140M intermittantly tripping on flame failure recently. Condensate was draining but not at the rate the Munchie was producing it during longer firing cycles.
