Possible Causes

Open or shorted outdoor sensor, Incorrect sensor location, Damaged cable between sensor and boiler, Miswired sensor terminals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working on low‑voltage terminals.

  • Locate sensor: Find the NTI outdoor sensor on an exterior north or northwest wall, away from direct sun and vents.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the cable for damage and ensure it is connected to the correct outdoor sensor terminals at the boiler.
  • Test resistance: Disconnect the sensor and measure resistance; compare to NTI’s temperature/resistance chart. Replace if out of range.
  • Relocate if needed: If the sensor is in direct sun or near exhaust vents, relocate to a more suitable location.
