10 on an Ideal Heating Logic Air: Outside Sensor Fault

Short answer

On an Ideal Heating heat pump, 10 means: Outside Sensor Fault. The manual does not say whether the heat pump stops. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means

The manual says: Outside Sensor Fault.

Part involved: outdoor air sensor (QAC34).

Likely causes:

  • Outside sensor wiring loose/disconnected; outside sensor out of resistance tolerance; RVS21 PCB fault.

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Not stated
Engineer needed?Yes

The manual does not say whether the heat pump stops.

What you can check

  • Note the code or fault message shown on the controller/Halo and when it appeared; check the heat pump's isolator and consumer-unit breaker are on. If the fault clears after the installer-approved restart via the controller and does not return, note it for the next service; if it returns, call an engineer.

What the engineer will check

  • Check wiring from indoor unit outside-sensor terminals to sensor at both ends; disconnect and measure sensor resistance (manual: 940 ohm at 5C, 970 ohm at 20C); replace sensor or RVS21 PCB.

Who to ask for: Heat pump / heating controls engineer.
