short-circuit-on-sensor-t2-outdoor on an IVT Greenline HE: The alarm is activated when the sensor's value indicates a temperature higher than +70 °C. In the event of a short circuit on T2, the outdoor temperature is set to 0 °C
Short answer
On an IVT heat pump, short-circuit-on-sensor-t2-outdoor means: The alarm is activated when the sensor's value indicates a temperature higher than +70 °C.

Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — 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 < 70 °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.
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.
