LP on an IVT Greenline HT Plus: Low pressure switch (LP) tripped

Short answer

On an IVT heat pump, LP means: Low pressure switch (LP) tripped. 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: Low pressure switch (LP) tripped.

Part involved: low pressure switch.

Likely causes:

  • Air in the heat transfer (brine) system; particle filter on the cold side clogged; lack of refrigerant; HTF pump stopped or set too low a speed; ice in heat exchanger due to lack of antifreeze; faulty expansion valve (alarm every 3-4 weeks).

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
SeverityFault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed
Engineer needed?Yes

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

Manual reset: Ackn. button on Rego 637 control panel.

What you can check

  • Press the Ackn. button on the control panel once (the manual says there is no risk in resetting an alarm; the heat pump restarts within 15 minutes if heat is needed). If the alarm returns, contact your installer. Look at the brine expansion tank: the fluid level should be visible (user guide check). Do not refill or open the ground-loop circuit yourself - call the installer.

What the engineer will check

  • Check brine expansion vessel/level and top up; bleed brine circuit; clean cold-side particle filter; check sight glass for continuous bubbling (low charge); check HTF pump speed; check antifreeze; check expansion valve.

Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.

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