096 on an iDM Energiesysteme TERRA SW: Operating limit MOP: Operation outside the compressor envelope: at the current condensing temperature the evaporating temperature is outside the operating range

Short answer

On an iDM Energiesysteme heat pump, 096 means: Operating limit MOP: Operation outside the compressor envelope: at the current condensing temperature the evaporating temperature is outside the operating range. The manual does not say whether the heat pump stops. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.
