What it means
The manual says: Transmission error between inverter PCB and main PCB (S80).
Part involved: S80 inverter-main PCB link.
Likely causes:
- Described in inverter abnormal stop control.
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.
No need to switch off — call an engineer if it comes back.
Resetting itself: no.
Manual reset: Stop the unit (via unit controller / power off-on) after the cause is fixed.
What you can check
- Read and note the alarm code and any retry code (e.g. P70) shown on the unit controller.
- Check the heat pump supply breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is ON.
- Restart once via the unit controller (or switch off/on at the isolator) - the manual states the unit must be stopped to release most alarms; if the code returns, call an engineer.
What the engineer will check
- Follow SMGB0146 section 6.7 troubleshooting flowchart for alarm 132.
- Isolate power and wait for capacitor discharge before opening the electrical box.
- Check inverter PCB, IPM/DIP-IPM, current sensor wiring and connectors.
- Check compressor and fan motor windings; check heat exchanger for clogging.
Who to ask for: Heat pump service engineer (electrical/inverter diagnostics).
Certification: Competent electrical worker (BS 7671); isolate and wait 10 min for capacitor discharge.
