Troubleshooting Using Displayed Codes

Interpreting Error Codes

The HP7R heat pump microprocessor controller is designed to be self-diagnostic through the display of various fault codes.

Owners & Operators: If you believe you are experiencing a problem with the heater, and feel a need to call the factory for assistance, it will be beneficial to let the factory Service Representative know which code is being displayed. Having this information at hand will permit the Service Representative to work through–with you–any site related issues causing or contributing to the problem. Then, if after working through site-related issues the heater is still not functioning correctly, the Service Representative will offer to set up a service visit. As necessary, please Contact AquaCal Customer Support Group (800- 786-7751).

Dealers and Service Centers: For troubleshooting use, listed below are all possible fault messages output by the microprocessor, what the codes mean, and possible causes with solutions for the indicated problem. Please contact AquaCal Technical Support Group, as necessary (800-786-7751).

WARNING !

Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.

Heat pumps contain no owner or operator repairable components. Repairs must not be attempted by untrained and/or unqualified individuals. If service is deemed necessary, contact installing dealer or AquaCal Customer Support at (800) 786-7751.
