What it means

The manual says: Incorrect PCB setting (S80).

Part involved: S80 PCB DIP switches.

Likely causes:

  • Wrong DSW setting (e.g. case of Co041).

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.

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 135.
  • Check DIP switch capacity/model settings on indoor and outdoor PCBs.
  • Check unit controller installer configuration.

Who to ask for: Commissioning engineer / MCS heat pump installer.

Certification: None specific.
