Possible Causes
Duplicate zone address on multiple Glow‑worm zone modules, Incorrect zone assignment in installer menu, Faulty zone control module, Mis‑wired zone valve outputs
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate mains power to the wiring center and boiler before working on zone modules or valve wiring.
Diagnosis:
- Identify all Glow‑worm zone control modules and note their configured addresses or DIP switch settings.
- Ensure each zone module has a unique address and that it matches the zone configuration in the thermostat installer menu.
- Check wiring from each zone module to its corresponding zone valve or pump. Look for crossed connections or shared neutrals that could cause feedback.
- Temporarily disconnect all but one zone module and test if F.14 clears when only a single zone is active.
Remedy:
- Correct any duplicate addresses and reconfigure zones in the thermostat.
- Replace any zone module that does not respond correctly when addressed individually.
- After re‑wiring and configuration, restore power and test each zone independently from the thermostat.
