Troubleshooting - Honeywell D896 Installation Instructions Manual

SETTINGS
The service switch operates in normal (NORM) or service
(SERV) modes. See Fig. 4.
NORM—D896 opens on a call for heat and closes at
the end of the heating cycle.
SERV—D896 remains open at the end of a call for
heat. The switch must be in the SERV position
before manually opening the damper.
CHECKOUT
Heating
1. Turn on the power supply.
2. If using a thermostat, set the heat anticipator at .13A
plus the current draw for the control module and the
system.
3. Set the thermostat or controller 10°F (6°C) above
the room temperature to call for heat.
4. Check that the D896 CALL FOR HEAT and
IGNITION GAS PWR LEDs are lit and that the
damper opens before the gas valve opens and the
pilot or main burner ignites. See Fig. 8.
NOTE: If a boiler gas control is sequenced by the
Aquastat® controller, make sure that the
damper opens prior to the opening of the
gas control.
5. Turn the thermostat or controller 10°F (6°C) below
the room temperature. Make sure the LEDs turn off
and the D896 closes.
6. Cycle the heating system at least three times, using
the thermostat or controller to ensure the system is
operating safely.

corrosion or other sources between service
technician calls.

TROUBLESHOOTING

terminals or wires. This can force the D896 to
remain closed and cause an explosion.
