⚫ Floor-standing gas boilers of the Proterm "Medved" series 20 30 40 50 KLOM
This section lists some of the fault codes along with the appropriate corrective action that the user can take to get the equipment working again.
If after that the equipment does not start to work - call a specialist from the service department.
⚫ Explanation: It is required to feed the heating system with water. If the error repeats over time, then there is a leak.
The problem can be both in the boiler (for example: the expansion tank is faulty) and in the pipeline of the heating system.
Check the pressure in the heating system, inspect the pipelines to understand where the leak is.
This error means irreversible blocking of automatic ignition and cessation of gas supply through the gas valve, i.e. LOSS OF FLAME. Such a blockage can occur in cases where, being in the open gas valve mode, the automatic ignition does not receive a return signal about the presence of a flame from the ionization electrode.
The boiler will turn off and the display will show error F1. This malfunction can also be caused by the operation of safety elements - an emergency thermostat or a combustion products thermostat. Low inlet gas pressure, incorrect electrical connection (phase and zero reversed) can also cause flame loss. To clear the fault, press the RESET button (fig.1, pos.5). If the fault cannot be cleared with the RESET button, contact your service organization.
⚫ Explanation: Most often means that the gas is not connected, less often - overheating. If the boiler does not hold the flame when ignited, check that the boiler is plugged in correctly. In most cases, it is enough to rearrange the plug on the other side.
⚫ Description: Indicates a malfunction of the boiler temperature sensor or a decrease in the temperature of the heating medium below 3 °C. The boiler will be blocked, as switching on at a temperature below 3 °C is not allowed due to the possible formation of ice. Contact a service organization.
⚫ Explanation: Incorrect sensor readings can cause such an error. Most often this means that the sensor needs to be replaced. It is necessary to check the sensor circuit, if it is faulty, replace the sensor.
Often such an error occurs when starting the boiler in the cold season, when the water temperature in the system has dropped below 3 ° C. To start the system, it is necessary to increase the temperature of the coolant in the boiler.
⚫ Description: Indicates that the heating medium temperature is above 95 °C. The boiler will shut down. After the temperature of the coolant drops below 95 °, the boiler can automatically resume operation.
⚫ Explanation: If the water circulation in the system is disturbed, overheating may occur. It often occurs in floor-standing boilers of high power. It is necessary to eliminate the cause of overheating and restart the boiler. You may need to reset the thermal fuse.
⚫ Description: The boiler will stop working to heat the boiler. This malfunction does not affect the heating mode.
⚫ Explanation: Incorrect readings of the DHW sensor can cause such an error. Most often this means that the sensor needs to be replaced. Check circuit/replace sensor.
⚫ Description: The boiler operates without restrictions, but the temperature of the coolant is controlled by the boiler sensor. If the boiler is not operating in equithermal mode, then such a message cannot appear.
⚫ Explanation: First of all, check the circuit - is it connected, is there a break. If everything is in order, replace the sensor.

Users sometimes complain that the Leopard boiler hums and makes noise during operation. Check the heat exchanger for scale. If the tubes are overgrown with plaque, clean them. For this, a reagent pump is used. The system is pumped, then washed with clean water.
At the first sign of a problem, do not delay the repair. Inspect the equipment, find the cause of the breakdown. Sometimes it's just the wrong settings, then you should follow the instructions. If you smell gas in the room, quickly turn off the valve and contact the gas service.
Of course, most readers are concerned about the issue of "technical treatment" of heating devices and how to fix the problem. Before covering this issue, you need to know the device, product characteristics and its capabilities.
The diagram shows the device of a gas boiler Proterm of a Czech manufacturer.
The main technical indicators include:
This is the minimum set specifications for a simple layman, which you need to know. More detailed information is indicated in the technical data sheet attached to the purchase of the product.
The manufacturer offers the domestic buyer to purchase equipment of its own production, which are divided into:
On the domestic market, you can purchase various modifications of Proterm heating equipment.
On sale there are many modifications. The most common are gas two-chamber boilers with biometric heat exchangers: Leopard and Lynx.
The equipment is made at a high technological level and complies with EU standards. However, no matter how good the technique is, it tends to fail at the most inopportune moment.
Read below about malfunctions of heating devices and troubleshooting methods.
There are certain error codes, thanks to which you can understand what happened to the equipment. The most common malfunctions of the boiler leopard 24.
Signals to us about a decrease in the pressure of incoming water with values below 0.6 bar. If the heating water pressure is low, the system switches off automatically. This is signaled by a built-in diode (see the "Pointer" symbol).
In this case, it is necessary to increase the value of the incoming liquid to the level of 1.2-2 barrels. After stabilization of the pressure, the boiler will automatically resume operation in the planned mode.
The flame is gone. The gas supply was interrupted and the wick went out. You need to pay attention to the emergency thermostat. Try to restart it.
Another reason may be a turned off draft sensor (we are talking about boilers and chimneys).
Another problem that affects the disappearance of the flame is the wires are reversed: phase and zero.
The loss of the flame can be caused by a problem with the automation responsible for ignition, the gas valve and malfunctions in the control system.
The heating water sensor has failed. In this case, the malfunction is due to a break in the above element. It is possible that t0 of the cooling water has crossed the mark below 3 0 С. The system is disabled. The resistance of the sensor needs to be checked. Pay attention to the cables running from the sensor to the control panel. Find out, t 0 RH, inspect the system for freezing.
Often malfunctions of the gas boiler Leopard 24 associated with overheating. Cooling down, the system resumes its work. It is necessary to check the heating pump: it may be clogged.
Photo: Heat exchanger of the Leopard 24 gas boiler.
Check the condition of the heating filter and check the heating water heat exchanger. The reason is the same: clogging of the working elements.
On a note. In work, use the non-freezing mixture recommended by the manufacturer: "AlycolTermo".
The water sensor is out of order. There was a short circuit of the sensor responsible for the t 0 mode of the tank. In this case, the operation of the boiler will continue in the mode: “Heating water heating”.
Heating of incoming water is switched off. The reason may lie in the resistance of the sensor.
Please note that when the circuit is broken, the error code is not displayed! The control unit will show that the storage tank and or the sensor are not connected.External sensor failed operating in equithermal regulation mode. Attention should be paid to correct connection of the sensor and the element itself.
It is clear that this is an incomplete list of possible technical failures in the operation of Proterm gas boilers.
For more detailed instructions and errors, see technical documentation. In addition, you can get knowledge on the Internet.
There are plenty of videos on the net that talk about problems and how to fix them.
For example, learn how and with what, at home, to clean the heat exchanger.
Without a doubt, some of the problems can be fixed on your own. But most breakdowns require the intervention of specialists.
In matters of safety and quality elimination of technical failures in the operation of gas-fired boilers, it is necessary to seek the help of specialists at a service center.
Gas boiler Proterm Leopard malfunction shows 104.Do not take risks and self-medicate. This may lead to serious problems. Therefore, you will have to shell out money from your pocket for unplanned re-repairs.When choosing a technical assistance center, pay attention to the availability of certificates and the duration of the center: how long the company has been providing this kind of service.
Speaking of quality, it makes no sense to use the workshops located near your home. Moreover, the masters go to you at the specified address.
Carry out regular preventive maintenance of the equipment. This is the key to the stable operation of the gas boiler.
No matter how manufacturers praise their products, problems still arise. Separate elements and blocks fail. This cannot be avoided.
This means that it is necessary to approach the issues of technical problems calmly and carefully.
High-quality repairs with a guarantee for the work performed can only be given by specialists of the service center. They use original parts and accessories.
If you are confident in your abilities, you can take on some of the work to eliminate deficiencies. But this is a risk: keep that in mind. Good luck to you!
