short-circuit-on-sensor-e2x-t8-heat-transfer-fluid-out on an IVT Greenline HE: Activated when the sensor's value indicates a temperature higher than 110 °C. T8 is calculated according to the same formula as in the event of a failure Æ Chapter 17.9.25 )

Short answer

On an IVT heat pump, short-circuit-on-sensor-e2x-t8-heat-transfer-fluid-out means: Activated when the sensor's value indicates a temperature higher than 110 °C. T8 is calculated according to the same formula as in the event of a failure Æ Chapter 17.9.25 ). The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means

The manual says: Activated when the sensor's value indicates a temperature higher than 110 °C. T8 is calculated according to the same formula as in the event of a failure Æ Chapter 17.9.25 ).

Part involved: E2x.T8.

When it shows: Activated when the sensor's value indicates a temperature higher than 110 °C. T8 is calculated according to the same formula as in the event of a failure Æ Chapter 17.9.25 ).

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Partly
SeverityFault — clears by itself when the condition goes
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.

Resetting itself: Yes - The value of the sensor indicates < 110 °C.

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. Contact the dealer if the alarm remains active for more than three hours or recurs often. Check the heating-system pressure gauge is in the range given in the user guide - do not top up yourself unless you have been shown how; check radiator/underfloor valves and room thermostats are open.

What the engineer will check

  • Measure sensor and cable resistance against the IVT sensor table; check connections on the I/O board; replace sensor or cable.

Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.
