What it means
The manual says: Adaptor cannot connect to the air-to-water indoor unit.
Part involved: CZ-TAW1 network adaptor (Aquarea Smart Cloud / Service Cloud).
Likely causes:
- Adaptor cannot communicate with the heat pump (A2W) - e.g. CN-CNT cable not connected or indoor unit not powered (LED chart also lists "A2W power off or cable not connected").
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | No |
|---|---|
| Severity | Warning |
| Engineer needed? | No |
The heat pump keeps running.
Resetting itself: Clears when communication is restored (LED state).
Manual reset: Not applicable; adaptor Register/Reset switch is for user registration/reset of the adaptor.
What you can check
- Check the home router is powered and working; for wired mode check the LAN cable is plugged into the adaptor and router; for wireless mode check signal strength with the Check switch (Link LED) as described in the quick guide and use Ethernet if the signal is BAD. The heat pump itself keeps running; the remote controller remains usable.
What the engineer will check
- Check CN-CNT cable between adaptor and indoor unit PCB; check indoor unit power; check adaptor firmware/registration; replace adaptor if faulty.
Who to ask for: Heat pump installer (controls/connectivity).
Certification: None statutory.
