What it means

The manual says: Hydraulic alarm pressure.

Part involved: water flow / water temperature.

Likely causes:

  • Water pressure is not detected in the hydraulic cycle.

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
SeverityFault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.

Resetting itself: Unit retries up to three times before stopping.

What you can check

  • Note the exact code shown on the controller (a photo helps) and report it to your installer or the manufacturer's service line.
  • Check the heat pump's supply breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on (do not open any casing).
  • Check the heating system pressure gauge reading (if one is fitted) and tell your engineer if it is below the level set at commissioning; do not attempt to refill unless you have been shown how.
  • If the controller shows red/alarm, the Firebird Enviroair Hitachi end-user guide allows a reset by pressing the ON button for 3 seconds and again; if it goes red again, contact your engineer.
  • Check the heating system pressure gauge reading and report a low reading to your engineer.

What the engineer will check

  • Check: Water pressure is not detected in the hydraulic cycle.

Who to ask for: heating / hydraulics.

Certification: Competent heating engineer (manufacturer training recommended).
