What causes this fault?
This code appears when the boiler is placed into a manual testing mode, usually by a technician checking the system's performance. It indicates that the control board is temporarily overriding normal operation to run the burner at a fixed capacity. If you see this and no engineer is present, the testing dial on the front of the unit may have been moved or left in the wrong position.
