10 Faults and malfunctions
10.1 Troubleshooting
The electronics of the ROTEX A1 BO
– signals a fault by red backlighting in the display and
– shows a fault code in the display.
An integrated fault memory stores up to 15 fault messages that
have occurred most recently.
Depending on the operating mode, the fault messages are also
forwarded to connected room stations or room thermostats.
