Make sure that the signal 1 is emitted from the lowest level, and conversely, stop the water pump while combustion continues to gradually reduce the water level, and check that the signal 0 goes from the highest level to confirm that everything is normal. Check, and if not, assume a failure. In addition, if the water level is gradually increased or decreased in this way, and even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, if the highest level does not emit a signal 1 or the lowest level does not become a signal 0, a failure is assumed.
