Troubleshooting

The following tips can be used to rectify comfort dis-
ruption:

Basic actions

Start by checking the following possible fault sources:

That the heat pump/air collector module is running
or that the supply cable to AMB 30 is connected.

Group and main fuses of the building.

The building's earth circuit breaker.

The air collector module's miniature circuit breaker
(FA1).

AMB 30 is not operational

The control system has not given the start
signal.

Cause:

Check that the heat pump is operating.

Action:

Fuses have tripped.

Cause:

Replace the fuse or reset the MCB. If the
fuse trips again the installation engineer
should be contacted.

Action:

Outdoor temperature is colder than set
value in menu "BT28 min.". Indicated as
"Low BT28" in the control unit.

Cause:

Wait until the outdoor temperature is
higher than the set stop value (menu
"Low BT28").

Action:

Outdoor temperature hotter than 50 °C.
Indicated as "High BT28" in the control
unit.

Cause:

Wait until the outdoor temperature is
below 48 °CC.

Action:

Fan stopped.

Cause:

Ensure that the air flow is not blocked. If
the fault remains contact the installation
engineer.

Action:

The alarm is acknowledged automatically when the
fault is rectified or according to the instructions on
page 36.

Interference when defrosting

AMB 30 does not defrost.

Cause:

Check that the reversing valve (QN20)
functions and is correctly connected.

Action:

AMB 30 does not defrost completely.

Cause:

Increase set temperature in menu
"Stop active".

Action:

AMB 30
