What it means
On the EHS Mono R290 (AE***CXYD*K and pump-integrated AE***CXYB*K)
The manual says: Setting Address Duplicate Error.
Part involved: Hydro unit/control kit and outdoor PCB communication.
When it shows: Unit self-diagnosis: Setting Address Duplicate Error.
Likely causes:
- Communication/addressing fault between hydro unit (control kit) and outdoor unit, or between outdoor PCBs: wiring fault, loose connector, incorrect setting, electrical interference or PCB failure.
- Engineer checks per Samsung service manual: Check address setting of indoor/hydro units (duplicate address on the network).
On the EHS TDM Plus (R410A)
The manual says: Error due to repeated address setting (When 2 or more devices have same address within the network).
Part involved: Hydro unit/control kit and outdoor PCB communication.
When it shows: Unit self-diagnosis: Error due to repeated address setting (When 2 or more devices have same address within the network).
Likely causes:
- Communication/addressing fault between hydro unit (control kit) and outdoor unit, or between outdoor PCBs: wiring fault, loose connector, incorrect setting, electrical interference or PCB failure.
- Engineer checks per Samsung service manual: Check address setting of indoor/hydro units (duplicate address on the network).
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: unknown.
Manual reset: unknown.
What you can check
- Note the full error code shown on the controller; check the heat pump breaker/isolator in the consumer unit is ON; then contact your installer or Samsung service; Samsung manuals do not describe a homeowner reset for this code.
What the engineer will check
- Check address setting of indoor/hydro units (duplicate address on the network). Any work inside casings, on PCBs, wiring, sensors, pumps, valves or refrigerant is engineer-only.
Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer (Samsung-trained, controls/electrical).
Certification: Competent electrical worker (BS 7671) for work on live equipment.
