plugged in correctly, interruption in cable harness, NTC sensor defective
F.01
Fault: Return temperature sensor
NTC plug not plugged in or has come loose, multiple plug on the PCB not
plugged in correctly, interruption in cable harness, NTC sensor defective
F.10
Short circuit: Flow temperature sensor
NTC sensor defective, short circuit in the cable harness, cable/casing
F.11
Short circuit: Return temperature sensor
NTC sensor defective, short circuit in the cable harness, cable/casing
F.12 and
F.91
Short circuit: Cylinder temperature
sensor
NTC sensor defective, short circuit in the cable harness, cable/casing
F.13
Short circuit: Domestic hot water cylinder
temperature sensor
NTC sensor defective, short circuit in the cable harness, cable/casing
F.20
Safety switch-off: Overheating temperat-
ure reached
Incorrect earth connection between cable harness and product, flow or return
NTC defective (loose connection), black discharge via ignition cable, ignition
plug or ignition electrode
F.23
Safety switch-off: Temperature difference
too great (NTC1/NTC2)
Pump blocked, insufficient pump output, air in product, flow and return NTC
sensors connected the wrong way round
F.24
Safety switch-off: Temperature rise too
fast
Pump blocked, insufficient pump output, air in product, system pressure too
low, non-return valve blocked/incorrectly installed
F.25
Safety switch-off: Flue gas temperature
too high
Break in plug connection for optional flue gas safety cut-out (STB), break in
cable harness
F.27
Safety switch-off: Fault in flame detection
Moisture on the electronics, electronics (flame monitor) defective, gas solen-
oid valve leaking
F.28
Fault: Ignition unsuccessful when starting
up
Gas meter defective or gas pressure monitor has triggered, air in gas, gas
flow pressure too low, thermal isolator device (TAE) has triggered, incorrect
gas restrictor, incorrect spare gas valve, fault on the gas valve, multiple plug
on PCB incorrectly plugged in, break in cable harness, ignition system (ig-
nition transformer, ignition cable, ignition plug, ignition electrode) defective,
ionisation current interrupted (cable, electrode), incorrect earthing of product,
electronics defective
F.29
Fault: Flame loss
Gas supply temporarily stopped, flue gas recirculation, incorrect earthing of
product, ignition transformer has spark failure
F.32
Fan frost protection function active: Fan
speed outside the tolerance values
Plug on fan not correctly plugged in, multiple plug on PCB not correctly
plugged in, break in cable harness, fan blocked, Hall sensor defective, elec-
tronics defective
F.49
eBUS fault: Voltage too low
Short circuit on eBUS, eBUS overload or two power supplies with different
polarities on the eBUS
F.61
Fault: Gas valve control system
Short circuit/short to earth in cable harness for the gas valve, gas valve
defective (coils shorted to earth), electronics defective
F.62
Fault: Gas valve switch-off control
Delayed switch-off of gas valve, delayed extinguishing of flame signal, gas
valve leaking, electronics defective
F.63
Fault: EEPROM
Electronics defective
F.64
