Mario another upate to the last post
I have an weird iisue with this A class boost works fine but only if the off peak fused spur is on even anthough there is no supply present, it appears that some how it is suppling voltage to the spur at 70 V AC I suspect the board is at fault I can access the fault codes but I have no way of interpreting them any one got a codes sheet, also incoming voltage is only @ 218VAC but this is a DNO issue and I will be having them out soon

Hi Dev
Yes this is a weird one, difficult to investigate without being on the unit. Could be your Pulsacoil is one of the first one series, not fitted from the factory with the back currant filter ( as later models), could be the pcb or even a relay. Watt is the error code? I have the full code tablet of course ( dealing with Gledhill products professionally).

Re: Mario another upate to the last post
I do not have a constant error code but would like to cycle through the events and understand what they mean, the basic issue I have is that the off peak will not heat water, I have swaped over the relays and the tank senors relating to the on and off peak as the on peak works ok, I did notice that the on peak relay was very hot with some scoring visible to the connections and the mounting plate and the faston spades very hot indeed to the point of impossible to hold onto whether this is a resistance issue or normal operation I dont know any advice would be great

Hi
Do not risk your PCB getting fryed up from melting relays, get a set of new relay ( Gledhill MIP098) as they get very hot and you have indication of dis- colouration on your relays and take it from there . Test the activation contacts on the of peak relay and if active , the power out to the immersion, after this, test the immersion himself for resistance and currant. You probably will find error 23 and or 56 on your diagnostic, indicating an relay / immersion fault (page 22 in the manual can help with diagnostic)
hope this helps Mario at Mario's Boiler Service

Re: Mario another upate to the last post
I now have had a chance to get back to this job, it is suppling 112 Volts to the off peak from the J2B connections on the PCB surely this cant be right as it is putting voltage right down to the consuner unit though the MCB and back to the grid wierd or what is this an indication the PCB is done

Re: Mario another upate to the last post
This problem is well known by the manufacturer, your Pulsacoil a class is probably from the first spec, the later one has a Relpol filter relay fitted from the factory. But good news, download the latest manual from the net (you need the wiring diagram) and simply fit the Relpol rely according to the diagram. The Relay is a Gledhill XB424 + the relay base XB425.

Cheers for that Mario, I will try that

Mario an update to the supply issue
I think I have it, do I need to insert XB 242 relay filter into the supply to A1 on the offpeak relay to take out the back fed voltage ???

Devlin
yes A1 live and A2 Neutral from the off peak

another updated question
Do I I follow the wiring connections as per the models that have this factory fitted relay connections to 11 &14 or am I just breaking the off peak signal to J28 via 11&14
