In the event of a malfunction, fuses and electrical connections should be checked for 
condition and security.
If this action fails to correct the malfunction, please consult your authorised SPHEROS 
dealer.
Following  a  fault  lock-out  situation,  coded  flashing  signals  will  be  emitted  -  via  the 
operation  indicator  light  -  during  the  after-run  period  of  the  heater,  on  all  heaters 
equipped with control unit 1572D. These coded flashing signals allow your authorised 
SPHEROS dealer to identify the malfunction that has occurred.

Troubleshooting

Heater turns itself off automatically (=fault lock-out)

Fault code display

Fault codes on the display of the combination or standard digital timer

On heaters equipped with control unit 1572D and standard digital timer, a fault code 
appears on the display of the digital timer whenever a malfunction has occurred.

Deactivating the heater lock-out mode:

Deactivation of the heater lock-out mode is effected by switching the heater on and 
then disrupting the power supply during the start-up procedure.

In the case of heaters operated by a switch, the particular type of malfunction that 
has occurred is indicated by coded flashing signals via the operation indicator light 
during  the  after-run  period  of  the  heater.  After  every  fast  pulse  sequence 
comprising 5  signals,  the  long  flashing  signal  pulses  can  then  be  counted: The 
coded flashing signals correspond to the numbers in the table below:

NOTE:

Combustion was not established 
during start-up

Flame extinguishes during operation
