Troubleshooting Guide
for Heat Pumps (work in progress)
By symptom
Low pressure on gauge
Re-pressurise using filling loop until
black needle meets red needle
No heating but hot water
Kind of heat emitter affected?
UFH
Check UFH manifold supply pipe is nice and warm (<46°C)
High temp radiators
Low temp radiators
Check heating pressure is between 1.5 and 2 bar
Thermostats battery operated?
Change battery! Not always that it shows the empty symbol!!!
Was there a power cut?
Dripping HP
Cause of leak
Leak on primaries
Condesate
Error code?
NO
Mitsubishi
Blank controller?
YES
Are there LED’s flashing on the FTC5 circuit board?
Check that there is power to the circuit board. There is an internal trip that may need resetting.
Check the pre-installed connectors of the Main Controller
Any visible signs of damage? Is it properly plugged in?
Turn off power to all units. Flick all dipswitches that are on to the off position and then back to the on position and vice versa for the other dipswitches.
Is there power to the outdoor unit?
The main controller will not turn on if there is no power to the outdoor unit.
Follow the Mitsubishi reset procedure
NO
Heating OR DHW not running?

What is the physical flow? Needs to be +16L/min
Air in system?
Pressure at 1.5-2bar?
If re-pressurised manually then reset system: Turn off/on again!
Strainer clean?
Flow switch working?

LAN adapter lost connection!
DAIKIN Altherma COMs LED flashing? (P1P2)
heartbeat LED on LAN adapter blinking?
LAN adapter access working?
Either through app or web interface
Restart LAN adapter
81-04
DAIKIN Hybrid
Leaving water temp sensor not mounted properly (LWT)
The temp sensor affected is R1T (A1P) and connects to X5A on the PCB.
If thermostat kit for 3rd party cyl installed, check for faulty relay!
Check return temperature when changeover of 3 port valve.
Particularly after DHW satisfied, then changes over to Space Heating position (default) when there is no heating demand.
Replace sensor if required.
It's order number is 5009165.
Check for low flow and subsequent overheating on the pipe
Adjust cylinder thermostat to lower value and/or move thermostat up on the cylinder if possible.
Make sure setting allows for Legionnaires prevention (+60°C).
Make sure sensor mounted and cables connected alright
A7
U2-12
DAIKIN
Over/ under voltage
related to indoor unit (split)
Check contacts and cables are sound connections
Check power supply is within limits of unit requirements
AH00
DAIKIN:
This is not an error, but a warning only!
Legionnaires Prevention failed (System didn't reach 60°C once a week)
Warning should clear once system achieves prevention
Make sure target hot water temp is set to 60°C.
Use controller for that.
Test manually using control panel switch to boost hot water.
Make sure high limit stat not tripped.
If so, manually reset it
Check immersion thermostat on cylinder is set high enough
Make sure immersion heater has power. Check isolator switch.
Make sure hot water is turned on. Might be turned off when in floor drying mode.
7H
DAIKIN:
Indoor unit LT.
Flow switch activated. Water flow rate too low or blocked inlet strainer.
7H-06
7H-01
A16 / 18
E3-XX
DAIKIN
High pressure error.
Look for sub code -01 or -12 either relating to indoor or outdoor unit
Check air flow
Check fan motor
Check high pressure sensor or switch
Check refrigerant charge. Make sure additional charge is appropriate for length of refrig pipe run.
A6
DAIKIN:
Normally related to HT systems
Pump or Flex fault
Check pressure
Check filter blocked!
Check circulation pump
Check PCB
U4
DAIKIN
Communication problem between outdoor and indoor unit
Check power to indoor and outdoor unit OK
Check interconnecting cable ok
Troubleshoot on site for broken PCB
U3-00
DAIKIN

If MELcloud fitted, have Mitsubishi take a look remotely.
Check for blocked strainer/filter.
Check MCS bypass is open!
Check all other valves are open as intended.
Check for air in system. Purge if required.
Check heating system pressure between 1.5 and 2 bar.
The system should still operate with pressure as low as 0.6 bar.
