What it means

The manual says: Motor protection heat source pump: The motor protection of the heat source (brine/well) pump has tripped (< 5 times in 24 h).

Part involved: Motor protection heat source pump.

When it shows: The motor protection of the heat source (brine/well) pump has tripped (< 5 times in 24 h).

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
SeverityFault — clears by itself when the condition goes
Engineer needed?Yes

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

Resetting itself: Counts towards 24 h lockout thresholds.

What you can check

  • Note the fault number and text shown after tapping the fault symbol on the Navigator display. Look at the brine/heat-source expansion vessel or pressure gauge: the fluid level should be visible (user guide check). Do not refill or open the ground-loop circuit yourself - call the installer. If the fault recurs several times, contact iDM customer service/your installer.

What the engineer will check

  • Diagnose per iDM service documentation for the unit (not obtained): check the monitored circuit/component named in the fault.

Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.

Certification: Qualified electrician / heat pump engineer (electrical fault-finding).
