Fault list for HP type 5 and 5*
Fault display Reason for fault code being triggered Possible cause of fault / remedy
LOW PRESSURE The low pressure sensor has responded; switching point 2.0 bar
(absolute) in heating mode within 60 seconds
Refrigerant leak, expansion valve does not open
HIGH PRESSURE The high pressure switch has responded; switching point 42bar
(absolute)
Check the flow rate and sensor connection on the heating side
ERR T FROS IWS B9 - Sensor value of the frost protection sensor outside the permis-
sible range
Check sensor, leads and the relevant plug-in connectors, and replace
if faulty
DIP WP TYPE The heat pump type DIP switch of the IWS is set incorrectly. Isolate the heat pump from the power supply and set the DIP switch
correctly.
ERR T SUCT V ND TR5 - Sensor value of the compressor's suction gas temperature
sensor outside the permissible range
Check sensor, leads and the relevant plug-in connectors, and replace
if faulty
DEFROST In defrost mode, flow, return or frost protection is < 10 °C; before
defrosting, flow or return is < 18 °C within 30 seconds
Water flow rate too low, water temperature too low
ERR T HTG IWS TR6 - Sensor value of the hot gas temperature sensor outside the
permissible range
Check sensor, leads and the relevant plug-in connectors, and replace
if faulty
ERR T VER IWS TR4 - Sensor value of the evaporator temperature sensor outside
the permissible range
Check sensor, leads and the relevant plug-in connectors, and replace
if faulty
ERR T AUS IWS TL2 - Sensor value of the outside temperature sensor outside the
permissible range
