ROUBLESHOOTING
This section provides useful information for diagnosing and
correcting certain troubles which may occur in the unit.

General guidelines

Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, carry out a thorough
visual inspection of the unit and look for obvious defects such as
loose connections or defective wiring.
Before contacting your local dealer, read this chapter carefully, it will
save you time and money.
When carrying out an inspection on the switch box of the
unit, always make sure that the main switch of the unit is
switched off.
When a safety device was activated, stop the unit and find out why
the safety device was activated before resetting it. Under no
circumstances safety devices may be bridged or changed to a value
other than the factory setting. If the cause of the problem cannot be
found, call your local dealer
.
If the pressure relief valve is not working correctly and is to be
replaced, always reconnect the flexible hose attached to the pressure
relief valve, to avoid water dripping out of the unit!
NOTE
For problems related to the optional remote alarm kit,
refer to the troubleshooting in the installation manual of
that kit.

General symptoms

Symptom 1: The unit is turned on (y LED is lit) but the unit is not
heating or cooling as expected
P
OSSIBLE CAUSES
The temperature setting is not
correct.
The water flow is too low.
The water volume in the installation
is too low.
Symptom 2: The unit is turned on but the compressor is not starting
(heating)
P
OSSIBLE CAUSES
The benefit kWh rate power supply
settings and electrical connections
do not match.
The benefit kWh rate signal was sent
by the electricity company.
Symptom 3: Pump is making noise (cavitation)
P
OSSIBLE CAUSES
There is air in the system.
Water pressure at pump inlet is too
low.
Symptom 4: The water pressure relief valve opens
P
OSSIBLE CAUSES
The expansion vessel is broken.
The water volume in the installation
is too high.

ORRECTIVE ACTION
Check the controller set point.
• Check that all shut off valves of the
water circuit are completely open.
• Check if the water filter needs
cleaning.
• Make sure there is no air in the
system (purge air).
• Check on the manometer that there
is sufficient water pressure. The
water pressure must be >0.3 bar
(water is cold), >>0.3 bar (water is
hot).
• Check that the pump speed setting is
on the highest speed.
• Make sure that the expansion vessel
is not broken.
• Check that the resistance in the
water circuit is not too high for the
pump (refer to
"Setting the pump
speed" on page
17).
Make sure that the water volume in
the installation is above the minimum
required value (refer to
"Checking
the water volume and expansion
vessel pre-pressure" on page
9).
C
ORRECTIVE ACTION
If [D-01]=1 or 2, the wiring requires
specific installation like illustrated in
"Connection to a benefit kWh rate
power supply" on page
14. Other
correctly installed configurations are
possible, but are to be specific for
the type of benefit kWh rate power
supply type at this specific site.
Wait for the power to return.
C
ORRECTIVE ACTION
Purge air.
• Check on the manometer that there
is sufficient water pressure. The
water pressure must be >0.3 bar
(water is cold), >>0.3 bar (water is
hot).
• Check that the manometer is not
broken.
• Check that the expansion vessel is
not broken.
• Check that the setting of the pre-
pressure of the expansion vessel is
correct (refer to
"Setting the pre-
pressure of the expansion vessel" on
page
9).
C
ORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the expansion vessel.
Make sure that the water volume in
the installation is under the
maximum allowed value (refer to
"Checking the water volume and
expansion vessel pre-pressure" on
page
9).
