Flt: Sft-start — Faulty soft start card fuses
This alarm indicates that the fuses for the large soft start card are defective. This applies to 30, 40, and 60 kW models and will block the compressor.
Flt:EM1-BT52 135 — Boiler sensor fault
This indicates a fault with the boiler sensor (EM1-BT52), possibly due to open/short circuits or a defective sensor. The shunt may close and the burner stops.
Green light and service technician symbol — Information alarm active
A green light illuminates on the front, and a service technician symbol appears in the information window. This indicates an 'information alarm' which automatically resets once the cause is rectified.
Hot gas alarm — Excessive hot gas temperature
This alarm indicates the compressor has stopped three times in 240 minutes because the hot gas temperature exceeded 135 °C, indicating a defective compressor.
In phs seq — Incorrect incoming electrical phase order
The heat pump detects that the phase order of the incoming electrical supply is wrong. This can block the compressor.
Lo Bri out — Low outgoing brine temperature
This alarm indicates bad circulation in the brine system, where the temperature of the outgoing brine (BT11) drops below the set minimum temperature and the alarm is set to permanent. This blocks the compressor.
Load monitor active 182 — Measured power consumption exceeds fuse size
The heat pump is reducing power consumption to below the set fuse size. The measured power consumption is exceeding the set fuse size, activating the load monitor.
Low hot water temperature or lack of hot water — Check filling valve and mixer valve
If you are experiencing low hot water temperature or no hot water, check the filling valve and any installed mixing valve. The heat pump might also be in an incorrect operating mode.
LP alarm — Low pressure in brine system
This alarm indicates bad circulation in the brine system, detected by the low pressure sensor transmitter being below the cut-out value. This will block the compressor.
Lvl sen Br — Brine level sensor tripped
This alarm is triggered if there is leakage in the brine circuit. The brine level switch or pressure switch has tripped, blocking the compressor and brine pump.
MP alarm — Motor protection breaker tripped
This alarm indicates that the motor protection breaker has tripped, usually due to a defective compressor, which blocks the compressor.
