Possible cause Corrective action
There is air in the system. Purge air from the system.
(a)
Incorrect hydraulic balance. To be performed by the installer:
1 Perform hydraulic balancing to
assure that the flow is correctly
distributed between the emitters.
2 If hydraulic balancing is not
sufficient, change the pump
limitation settings ([9-0D] and [9-0E]
if applicable).
Various malfunctions.

collectors, check if or is displayed on the home screen of the user interface.
▪ If not, you can purge air immediately.
▪ If yes, make sure that the room where you want to purge air is sufficiently
ventilated. Reason: Refrigerant might leak into the water circuit, and
subsequently into the room when you purge air from the heat emitters or
collectors.
14.3.5 Symptom: The pump is making noise (cavitation)
Possible causes Corrective action

broken.
▪ The expansion vessel is NOT broken.
▪ The valve (if equipped) of the water
circuit towards the expansion vessel is
open.
▪ The pre-pressure setting of the
expansion vessel is correct (see
