Glen Stanton Question

in THE MAIN WALL
Think I have a problem with a 2 year old Burnham Revolution.

Been talking with tim@reedwrightheating.com He suggests I post a question to you. Hope you can help

Post to Glenn stanton on the wall, maybe he will reply. I don't have my wiring schematics here so can't look at for sure. Glenn may be able to give you a bypass idea. If I had schematic or boiler in front of me I could figure something.

Bypassed electrical circuit and circulator ok.

No power from VS control wires though????? HHHmmmm

The board??!!!!!??

I wish I could bypass something and give them heat and hot water till tomorrow!

    I'm trying to comprehend what is going on with this Revolution boiler and based on what you have posted I am having some difficulty doing that. I am assuming that you are having some trouble with either the Internal circulator or its controlling VS3000 Variable Speed Pump Control. Here is what to look for.

    Are the LED's on and active on the VS3000 board? If they are on then there is nothing wrong with the board.

    Assuming you are not getting the flow out of the boiler to the system, I would suspect that you have encountered some magnatite buildup inside the Internal circulator or 007 that is binding it up when the VS3000 is trying to turn it on and ramp up its speed. To demonstrate if this is the problem, turn off the power to the boiler and remove the yellow wire from Terminal 3 of the VS3000 board and temporarily jump it to the Black wire on Terminal 1 of the board. This will give the circulator full frequency at startup to overcome the resistance. If it runs doing this then the circulator will need to be replaced. It is a conventional Taco 007 circulator and you may be able to get by with just swapping out the motor end depending on the amount of magnatite buildup inside the pump. When you pull the pump apart you will probably notice a blackish buildup of deposits on the internal surfaces. This is the magnatite buildup I am referring to.
