What it means
The manual says: Heat pump connection fault.
Part involved: ATW-CPA-02 advanced system controller.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — clears by itself when the condition goes |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: yes - when condition clears.
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
- Check wiring to RF receiver / Modbus link to heat pump.
Who to ask for: Heat pump installer / service engineer (controls wiring).
