 This video is brought to you in part by TrueTech Tools quality tools essential support Okay, so we have got us a boiler here. It looks like we got two of them. I have not been here before so that one there works This one over here isn't so we've been having some odds and ends problems I guess and we have us a trip of high limit lockout so we need to find out what's going on Is it circulator? What's going on because this goes up to a big distribution deal and Looks like these are kind of doing a primary secondary loop thing It's going up to there that one's going up to there the other one same thing here to here This is your secondary loop Going out and back a spiral vent here Which is closed makes me wonder is there an issue with that? Why did we have to close it? Then we have a limit trip because it wasn't moving water past the heat exchanger or is it something else? So that's what we're gonna dig in and see what you find out. Looks like the boiler piping comes out From here It's down to here One goes down there some of it comes to here. So you've got it coming in to these pumps And out nice and labeled These are both Hot so the ones doing the job so far Comes around so it appears to me. We've got a good circulation. Everything's running So it comes over here hits the Air handler, which probably heats the whole building It's pretty good size UV Now it's not real warm, but since they're on together. That's what's kind of weird. I Don't think it's such an issue On one particular unit Now it's warm So let's see what's going on here with the boiler see if we can figure out what it's doing why it's acting silly Okay, so I walked over and around kind of seen everything Pains this thing's in parallel. It would only make sense that that's not an issue You think it wouldn't be an issue with water to be water flow Potentially the pump that had already been changed. Mmm. That's about a month ago Let's take a look in here and see if there's anything else Going on that we're not knowing like I said first time I've been here Don't know if it's been maintained. I don't know anything about it I don't have constate traps been cleaned and stuff like should looking at the water pressure. It looks like we have water pressure Looks like we are about 10 to 12 ish pump is not cold hot and it is not running when it kicks on We should be able to see whether or not we get some circulation through there see if you can reset this thing manual reset Okay, see if the little pump thing comes on I Feel a vibration, but it's hard to tell if that's it or another pump See if that circulator pumps get in power No power because it's not calling I Think we can run this through a few tests and this thing is all in controls land which I Hate and this one's sitting here running So we just forced it into a fault if it's smart. It's gonna go ahead and tell the other boiler to run Most of all your controlling is done with this one here past errors There's me. No test mode Lockout history one High temp limits me annual 5 a.m. Yesterday during post purge Temporize too quickly 1218 Fault type fault. Well, it's useful Okay Yeah, these are just So primitive anymore they're so behind So let's go back to test mode Select rates Forcerate turn on a local priority input on this boiler and wait till ignited or go to manual test on The master boiler and select shadow to all right Let's go over there to that test mode for shadow to is ready step one activate a network input demand Well, that means I'd have to go up and have somebody turn on a computer that I want to deal with So they basically bounce you back and forth to manual test mode, you know test mode So that great auto Low, let's go low Will it do it or do I have to jump something? Nope. That means that Circulator pumps should be on and I should feel some hot water get hundred and twenty two volts 2.8 amps which seems a little little high to the amps is 1.45 Yeah, this thing's not working. Is it looks to me like the Ambro? It's two point or one point whatever they put it such a crap position Yep, she's shutting down They just change a stupid thing everything they've been getting lately. He's been freaking junk Nothing has been holding up for anything Give me a raise. I want more money. I want more money. It looks like amps 1.45 Yeah, he's horse 3200 rpm. So this thing's already taken a dump. What a joke And we got one valve there And it was too much to put another valve in it wasn't it? Nope, there's a valve which they have no way to bleed it. So that's always gonna be fun And you're gonna get air into the system Which way is everything going? It's going that way. So if we make sure that we could stop the flow So it only goes that way might be our rate. But yeah, it looks to me like our pump is taking a dump and It's just about a month in a couple days. That is Feels like it's running. It's hot in hell. So what did this thing do? Lockout Well, I'm telling you now. I don't look at it now. Now we're 1.4 How'd the amperage change? We were doing a lot more than that. So I think a stupid thing was stuck Nice Now let's see if the stupid thing runs. Yeah, it's running because it's hot It was ice cold before it's pushing that direction pulling over here So if it was radiant, you know, you'd not have hot water down here Which it's hot 1.4 amps now What do we say it was supposed to be? 1.45 So now we're correct. So we was stuck somehow and now broke loose. There's a little inspection there. So let's select rate Let's go up to medium See if it's able to do anything with that Now slow more There in 45 out 140 in Target 38% Not tripping. Let's go ahead and go to high. Let's see what happens there. There she goes Temperature up to 150 Please run 130. I Don't do these every day guys. So if you think I'm the expert of be able to just come in here and know exactly what it all is Give me a break. I do too many different things to be perfect at everything God bless you if you can remember it all I Don't think there's that many people that are diverse as what we are We're working on commercial industrial generators fricking everything under the sun reach in food equipment. You name it We do so many different things you cannot remember all this stuff There's 160 no big problems yet For it to lock out it would have had hit. I think 200 degrees No problem still hold the 1.4. I'll have any seals or anything like that, but it makes me wonder is it just the motor? Locking up. I would say it was probably the motor cartridge whatever. I don't know if this has a cartridge or not It's a little bit bigger the one was replaced looks like in nine of 2020 water temperature looks like it's up to a hundred and sixty ish Pressure for the most parts there. I'm looking to see if you got a cartridge for a take-off pump It's a zero zero one four dash F1 It's a eighth horse one point four five amp thirty two fifty rpm So I don't know if they got it from you or who they got it from but it was installed November Yeah Oh, so you don't have you probably don't have anything for take-off in I called three different supply houses in town This ain't my usual town. I work out of I mean we do stuff this position, but not near as many Did I lock myself? No, I didn't good so We're going to wire this pump hot all the time I Was watching it from outside it ran balls to the wall the whole time and Never malfunctioned So I'm going to wire this pump hot To run non-stop that way doesn't stop and get stuck. That's the plan of what we're going with here We're just going to order a whole new pump for that and go from there Let's see if everything goes dead when I kill this thing 120 there 120 is dead so reason I got confusing as you have power coming in it splits right here and has heat shrink tubing on it Comes over to this So we should be able to undo this and move it That wasn't very tight. That's great was what problem Because the voltage was low. I Mean we had a hundred and twenty volts, so I don't think it is but Makes sense not gonna reach No, just barely if it's going to The reasoning for this is once the pumps are running Chances of it stopping and getting stuck again is slim. Now let's put on I can hear it kick on Pulling 1.4 amps. I don't know why it did whatever it did, but it did it because it did it And I don't know why it did it That's gonna be good enough. We got a big storm coming in it's supposed to get down to like negative negative two degrees or whatever Yeah, this thing went through test mode perfect. I ran it in high fire the whole time Now it just did something boilers on network mass shot Systems not detected. Okay. Let's see if this other one's ready to roll Got them both down Make it all start over There you go That gives it a couple seconds If they're smart in a program, we had a lot of medically have a delay built into it It went to red and eventually went back to blue. So we should be back to normal Says again ready to modulate We are good to go that circular can run non-stopping Ain't gonna hurt it. All right, everything's back together It's running. It's up to 150 some degrees. So it's not usually that warm. So it's not really calling for anything Going to go ahead and Make sure we're all out of out of test modes and head up to another call here That'll get it by the whole reason for that like I said was just because the pumps running and that way it doesn't stop And have to start back up generally there's no real starting amperage But if there's something wacky going on to there That would be the starting point We're supposedly gonna try to order. I'm hoping we're gonna order a whole new pump because it's warranty anyway So I take a chance at the who knows if the winding is bad or was it just the the Cartridge or whatever so who knows and I don't really care to figure it out. I figured it's under warranty. Just change whole thing Let's wrap it up and head on to the next call. Thanks a lot guys for watching catch you on the next one later
