Hej,

after setting the parameters i started up and : After a very long time of firing up with active electric heatelement fejl F1 appears. what is the problem???

My manual doesn´t say anythin about this specific error...

Did any fire come ? Or did it not fire up ? F1 is normally no fire or the photocell cant see fire.

The fire came and burned nicely. After a few minutes with still "E" in the display the error message comes.
This happened after some problemless test-runs during installation.

What is MENU A2 exactly? (Den maksimale tid optändingen ma tage)
Does it mean every startup lasts for example 8 minutes (when set "8" in the menu) or is it the total time where the heatelement works every single day?

What is the message L 0 in the hidden menu?

What is the message L 0 in the hidden menu?

That means that the lightindicator/photocell (danish=fotosencor) registreret no fire.

Be sure both photocell is correctly installed.
What is Your setting for A4? Standard is 10

is it10 minutes with EVERY single upstart or is it the time for all upstarts together during the WHOLE DAY ?

The 10 minutes is for every upstart. The burner makes 2 upstarts before it says F1.

If the ignition works you can se blue smoke. If you got smoke the lightdetektor must be broke.

You can test you lightdetektor in this way :

Take the lightdetektor out, look in the menu where L = 0 and the put light on the tdetektor with a lamp og a match. If it works the value will rise

Tak!

The ignition works. Pellets are fed in, the blower blows, and the heatingelemnt is glowing....
I´ll try that out and tell you then.

Does anyone have the techn. data of it? Maybe i have a fitting sparepart laying around here.

Try a lightdetektor from an fuel burner.

Problem solved!

Tak Guys, it was indeed a matter with the Fotocell.

The blue and black cable which is connected to the fotoresistor went off.
I disassembled the plastic parts of the sensor and reconnected the cables by solding it.

Now the F1 Fejl is history (for the moment

)

I also measured the resistance of the fotoresistor to get a spare part from our electronic supplier someday....

If you wonder why my profile shows me as a Thermia Burner user. I am really one. The Scotte is the burner of a very good friend, who bought a house with a Eco Tec A3 Burner, which made him finally crazy.

The Scotte is a much simpler and in my eyes better burner.
We´ll see....

god nat,
Thomas
