8.3Error conditions

In this mode a preset week program is active, and the appliance responds continually to demand within the time periods set in the week program. There are two distinct situations possible in this mode:

PROG

 

10:00 Monday

76ÉC

MO 11:15 Tset 75ÉC

1.The current time falls within a set time period of the week program.

The figure shows the display with the following information:

-line one: the text PROG;

-line two: the time, the day and T1 and Tnet alternately (9.3 "The appliance's heating cycle");

-line three: the next scheduled switch-off time and the water temperature Tset of the active period;

-line four: is empty, or depending on the heating cycle (9.3 "The appliance's heating cycle"), a text such as HEAT DEMAND.

PROG

 

12:00 Monday

76ÉC

MO 11:15

 

PERIOD ACTIVATED

2.The current time falls outside a set time period of the week program.

The figure shows the display with the following information:

-line one: the text PROG;

-line two: the time, the day and T1 and Tnet alternately (9.3 "The appliance's heating cycle");

-line three: the next scheduled switch-on time;

-line four: displays the text

PERIOD ACTIVATED.

The figure shows an example of an error condition. If the appliance enters this condition, the display will show the following information:

•line one: error code comprising a letter and two digits, followed by the error description;

•lines two to four: alternately, a brief explanation of the error, and a brief action to resolve the error.

S04: SENSOR ERROR

CHECK

SENSOR OR DUMMY

Caution

The displayed action to resolve the error may only be performed by a service and maintenance engineer.

There are various types of errors:

•LOCK OUT ERRORS

When the cause has been removed, these errors

require a reset with the button before the appliance can resume operation.

•BLOCKING ERRORS

These errors disappear automatically once the cause of the error has been removed, after which the appliance resumes operation by itself.

The display does not show what type of error has been detected. A comprehensive overview of the errors is provided elsewhere in the

manual (13 "Troubleshooting").

If, as end-user, you find the appliance in an error condition, you may attempt to restart the appliance by

pressing the button

However, if the error returns or occurs several times in a short time you must contact your service and maintenance engineer.

In all modes, the temperature may at any moment drop below the desired temperature. The appliance then enters a heating cycle. This heating cycle is identical (9.3 "The appliance's heating cycle") for all basic operating modes.

Note

Setting and if necessary programming of the basic operating modes are described in the main

menu (11 "Main menu") chapter.
