What the engineer will check

• Check the settings in the commissioning assistant. Adjust settings if required.
• Check setting of rotary switch S1 on ADIO electronics module.
• Check flow temperature sensor in heating/cooling circuit 1.
• Check resistance value (NTC 10 k Ω) at the sensor input on ADIO electronics module. Replace sensor if required.

Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump installer/service engineer.

What you might notice
