Technical description

Information screen displayed when initializing communication between the Heat Pump and Smart Interface

What causes this fault?

This code appears when the main heat pump unit is trying to find and sync with the smart control interface inside your home. It usually happens during the initial setup or immediately after a power cut as the components reboot and exchange data. In most cases, it is simply a startup sequence rather than a hardware failure.

DIY fix possible

Wait up to 10 minutes for the setup to finish automaticallyEnsure the Smart Interface is powered onIf it persists beyond 15 minutes, press the reset button on the interface
