Hold / Lockout 79 Outlet high limit
What the control is telling you
Outlet water temperature reached the outlet high limit setting.
Applies to: Trinity Tft60, Tft85, Tft110, Tft154, Tft201, Tft285, Tft340, Tft399
Likely causes
- CH or DHW setpoint plus off hysteresis is above the high limit (factory limit 200 F / 93 C)
- CH or DHW pump not working
- Outlet high limit set too low
- Outlet high limit response set to lock out
Test and repair steps
- Compare setpoint plus off hysteresis with the high limit and lower the setpoint if needed
- Check the CH and DHW pumps
- Raise the outlet high limit (maximum 200 F / 93 C)
- Set the outlet high limit response to recycle and hold unless local code forbids it, so the boiler does not lock out
