What you can check
- Note the code shown on the controller and the model number on the unit's rating label before contacting your installer.
- Check that the heat pump's isolator and consumer-unit breaker are on; do not open any casing.
What the engineer will check
On the HPI (HPi32) R32 monobloc
- Follow the manufacturer's troubleshooting for this code.
Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer.
Certification: Heat pump installer competence; F-gas and flammable-refrigerant (R32/R290) handling competence for any refrigerant-circuit work.
On the R290 monobloc (HPR290)
- Check supply voltage and phase at the unit terminals.
- Check compressor U/V/W connections and compressor winding resistance.
- Check drive board heatsink cooling and fan.
- Replace the inverter/driver board if faults persist.
Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer.
Certification: Heat pump installer competence; F-gas and flammable-refrigerant (R32/R290) handling competence for any refrigerant-circuit work.
