What it means
The manual says: Low pressure switch tripped: 2 repeated LP alarms within 2.5 hours.
Part involved: pressure switches/sensors, expansion valve.
When it shows: 2 repeated LP alarms within 2.5 hours.
Likely causes:
- S2125: Poor heating medium flow; lack of refrigerant.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Severity | Safety lockout |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: no/unknown - not stated.
Manual reset: Reset from the controller alarm menu ('reset alarm' / 'Reset alarm and try again'); alarm recurs if the cause remains.
What you can check
- Read the alarm text and the 'info/action' help on the controller display (VVM/SMO or S-series smartguide). NIBE's manuals let the homeowner select 'reset alarm' ('Reset alarm and try again' on S-series); if the lamp returns to normal the alarm has cleared. If it comes back, do not keep resetting: select 'aid mode' ('Auxiliary operation' on S-series) if offered, so any electric additional heat keeps heat/hot water going, and contact your installer. Air source systems: check the outdoor unit is clear of leaves/snow/ice. Read the heating system pressure gauge and note the reading for your installer.
What the engineer will check
- Check heating medium flow, particle filter and circulation pump; check pressure switches/sensors, expansion valve, service valves and refrigerant charge (F-gas qualified). NIBE lists: Poor heating medium flow; lack of refrigerant.
Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer with F-gas qualification (NIBE-trained / NIBE PRO installer).
Certification: F-gas certification for refrigerant circuit work (plus flammable-refrigerant competence for R290/R32 models).
