What it means
The manual says: Open/short circuit in water outlet temperature sensor TW2/S9.
Part involved: CWC2 (A2) board / water circuit.
Likely causes:
- Sensor fault.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — clears by itself when the condition goes |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: Automatic then manual (A2 RESET 5 s, system OFF, or power off).
What you can check
- Note the code/LED pattern and the model from the rating plate, then contact a heat pump/refrigeration engineer.
- Check the heat pump's breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on.
- Check the heating system pressure gauge reads in the normal range stated by the installer (usually about 1-1.5 bar cold) and that the filling loop is closed.
What the engineer will check
- Check TW2.
- Check A2 board.
Who to ask for: refrigeration / heat pump engineer.
Certification: Electrical competence for work inside the unit.
