The <tt>OP1</tt> and <tt>OP2</tt> beacons at the top of the display indicate that both [[#Stage 1|Stage 1]] and [[#Stage 2|Stage 2]] heating are enabled.  At this time, no feedback is provided to the temperature controller to identify if either stage is active; external conditions/faults may prevent firing stages.

The boiler temperature is greater than the [[#Stage 2| Stage 2]] threshold, and [[#Stage 2| Stage 2]] is disabled as a result.  This is not a fault condition, though it may indicate sub-optimal operation.

The [[#Stage 2| Stage 2]] threshold is the temperature value to the right of the <tt>Stg2</tt> identifier on the display, and should typically be set to TBD.
The [[#Stage 2| Stage 2]] threshold is the temperature value to the right of the <tt>Stg2</tt> identifier on the display, and should typically be set to TBD.  To adjust this threshold, see the [[#Threshold Adjustment|Threshold Adjustment]] section below.


If this state is active, adjustment of the recirculation valve position should be considered.  Since operating only in [[#Stage 1| Stage 1]] produces less heat, the ability to heat the pool is reduced.  This is primarily an issue where the amount of heat loss in the pool exceeds the capability of [[#Stage 1| Stage 1]] heating (i.e. the pool cools faster than it can be heated).  Consult with [[Board_Building_and_Grounds Building and Grounds]] if needed to properly adjust the valve positions.

This is a latching fault and must be cleared via the front panel before the boiler will operate.
