061 on an iDM Energiesysteme TERRA SW: Heat source temperature approaching critical value: Heat source outlet temperature reaches a critical value (min. heat source temperature + 2 K)

Short answer

On an iDM Energiesysteme heat pump, 061 means: Heat source temperature approaching critical value: Heat source outlet temperature reaches a critical value (min. heat source temperature + 2 K). The heat pump keeps running. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means

The manual says: Heat source temperature approaching critical value: Heat source outlet temperature reaches a critical value (min. heat source temperature + 2 K).

Part involved: Heat source temperature approaching critical value.

When it shows: Heat source outlet temperature reaches a critical value (min. heat source temperature + 2 K).

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?No
SeverityWarning
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump keeps running.

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.
