What it means
On the De'Longhi Professional / Climaveneta AWR MTD reverse-cycle air/water heat pump with DHW
The manual says: Low pressure switch tripped; manual reset after 4 activations in one hour.
Likely causes:
- Low suction pressure.
On the De'Longhi Professional / Climaveneta BWR MTD and MTD2 brine-to-water heat pump
The manual says: Low pressure switch tripped; manual reset after 4 activations in one hour.
Likely causes:
- Refrigerant pressure outside limits.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
