What it means
The manual says: The compressor is stopped because of too high pressure in the refrigerant circuit. Activated on open contact on the high pressure switch.
Part involved: E2x.RHP.
When it shows: The compressor is stopped because of too high pressure in the refrigerant circuit. Activated on open contact on the high pressure switch.
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. 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 refrigerant circuit pressures, superheat and charge; check brine/heating flows, particle filters and pressure switch.
Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.
Certification: F-Gas category I certificate (refrigerant circuit work).
