Boiler does not support the parameters set for the hydraulic configuration

Shared across the Greenstar 8000 Life range

This code is shared by the boilers in this range, which use the same control board. It may not be printed in this exact variant’s manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board is programmed with settings that do not match its physical internal components, specifically regarding how water flows through the unit. It typically happens after a major repair or a software update where the incorrect 'code plug' or configuration profile has been selected by a technician. Essentially, the boiler has become confused and has shut down as a safety precaution because it doesn't know how to operate its pumps or valves correctly.

Engineer required
