047 on an iDM Energiesysteme TERRA SW: Hot gas temperature too high - lockout: The heat pump was switched off due to too high hot gas temperature (> 5 times in 24 h). The heat pump is no longer operated

Short answer

On an iDM Energiesysteme heat pump, 047 means: Hot gas temperature too high - lockout: The heat pump was switched off due to too high hot gas temperature (> 5 times in 24 h). The heat pump is no longer operated. The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means

The manual says: Hot gas temperature too high - lockout: The heat pump was switched off due to too high hot gas temperature (> 5 times in 24 h). The heat pump is no longer operated.

Part involved: Hot gas temperature too high - lockout.

When it shows: The heat pump was switched off due to too high hot gas temperature (> 5 times in 24 h). The heat pump is no longer operated.

Is it safe?

Switch the heat pump off at its isolator and call an engineer.

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
SeveritySafety lockout
Engineer needed?Yes

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

Manual reset: Unlock/acknowledge via Navigator (max. once after 023); call service.

What you can check

  • Note the fault number and text shown after tapping the fault symbol on the Navigator display. This is a locking (Verriegelung) fault - iDM says to call customer service; do not repeatedly unlock it (after fault 023 the unit may be unlocked at most once).

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: F-Gas category I certificate (refrigerant circuit work).
