What it means
The manual says: Fault, sensor interlock input 2.
Part involved: Fault, sensor interlock input 2.
When it shows: System characteristics:; Output demand to heat pump not possible; Compressor switched off.
Likely causes:
- Internal fault in inverter safety circuit.
- Faulty connection at input for inverter safety circuit.
- External protection equipment has responded.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Safety lockout |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: Not stated per code in Viessmann document 6199893 GB 01/2026 (VSA00009).
Manual reset: Measures include resetting/unlocking the refrigerant circuit via HMI service menu "Reset outdoor unit" or ViGuide (engineer, password-protected; 6199893 p.118).
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 connection X3.1/X3.2 (STO2) on the inverter:.
- Check wires and plugs for correct seating.
- Check connections for contact corrosion.
- Check cables for mechanical damage, e.g. crushing, kinking, chafing or breakage.
- Check the function of the high limit safety cut-out.
- Isolate the outdoor unit from the power supply. Wait at least 2 min. Switch on voltage again.
- Replace inverter.
- Unlock refrigerant circuit.
Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump engineer with F-gas certification and R290 (A3 flammable refrigerant) competence.
Certification: F-gas certificate (UK F-gas Regulations; EU 2015/2067 Cat. I cited by Viessmann) plus A3/R290 competence per EN 378-4 or IEC 60335-2-40 Annex HH (6202263 p.2).
