What it means
The manual says: No PV-optimised charging.
Part involved: No PV-optimised charging.
When it shows: System characteristics: The required charge current from the wallbox is limited to the set fallback value. If at the same time sufficient output is available from the photovoltaic system, the limitation remains active.
Likely causes:
- Optimised charging with electricity from the photovoltaic system not active.

The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: Not stated per code in Viessmann document 6199893 GB 01/2026 (VSA00009).
Manual reset: User may acknowledge via HMI after noting the code (6249162 p.57); the message returns if the cause persists.
What you can check
- On the HMI, tap the message and "?" to read the system characteristics and Viessmann's user tips; note the code (e.g. F.xxx) and text for your contractor (operating instructions 6249162 p.57).
- Acknowledge the message once via the HMI; do not acknowledge fault messages several times in quick succession (6249162 p.58) - notify your contractor.
- Check the heat pump breaker/isolator in the consumer unit is ON (do not repeatedly reset a breaker or RCD that keeps tripping).
What the engineer will check
- Check wallbox energy management.
- Replace wallbox if necessary.
Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump engineer / qualified electrician.
Certification: Qualified electrician for work on electrical equipment (Viessmann safety instructions).
