motor-cut-out-2-e2x-f12-collector-circuit-pump on an IVT Greenline HE: Activated when the collector circuit pump motor cut-out has tripped. The collector circuit pump stops and the compressor also stops so as to prevent the evaporator from freezing
Short answer
On an IVT heat pump, motor-cut-out-2-e2x-f12-collector-circuit-pump means: Activated when the collector circuit pump motor cut-out has tripped. The collector circuit pump stops and the compressor also stops so as to prevent the evaporator from freezing. 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: Activated when the collector circuit pump motor cut-out has tripped. The collector circuit pump stops and the compressor also stops so as to prevent the evaporator from freezing.
Part involved: E2x.F12.
When it shows: Activated when the collector circuit pump motor cut-out has tripped. The collector circuit pump stops and the compressor also stops so as to prevent the evaporator from freezing.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — 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: Acknowledge on control panel.
What you can check
- Note the full alarm text including the component designation (e.g. E21.T6) - IVT asks for it when you contact the dealer. Check the heat pump's breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on and has not tripped. Contact the dealer if the alarm remains after acknowledgement. Acknowledge once on the control panel; if the alarm returns, contact the installer.
What the engineer will check
- Check supply phases, voltage balance (<15%), fuses, soft starter alarms and motor cut-out setting; reset motor cut-out.
Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.
Certification: Qualified electrician / heat pump engineer (electrical fault-finding).
