Code

Meaning

Cause

F.72

Flow and/or return temperature sensor fault

Temperature difference between flow temperature sensor and 
return temperature sensor too great -> flow and/or return 
temperature sensor defective

F.73

Error in water pressure sensor

Interruption/short-circuit of water pressure sensor, interruption/
short-circuit to GND in supply line to water pressure sensor

F.74

Water pressure sensor signal outside correct range
(too high)

Line to water pressure sensor has short-circuited at 5V/24V
or internal error in water pressure sensor

F.75

Error, pump water shortage

Water pressure sensor and/or pump defective, air in heating 
system, too little water in boiler; check adjustable bypass, connect 
external expansion vessel to return

F.77

Error, flue gas flap/condensate pump

condensate pump defective, cable connection; no checkback signal 
from flue gas flap (bridge) of "2 in 7" multifunction module, flue 
gas flap has triggered 

con

No communication with the printed circuit board

Communication error between display and PCB in the electronic 
box

9.2  

Test programs

Special functions can be triggered in the boilers by 
activating various test programs.
The test programs P.0 to P.6 are started as follows:
•  Push the "+" button and hold it down.
•  Push the "Fault clearance key" once or switch the 

main switch off and on again.

After approximately 5 seconds, P.0 appears in the dis-
play. You can now release the "+" button.

•  Push the "+" key to start counting the test 

programme number upwards.

•  Push the "i“ to operate the boiler now and to start the 

test programme.

•  Push "i“ and "+“ simultaneously to exit the test 

programs. You can also exit the test programs by not 
pushing any button for 15 minutes.

P. 0 

1)

Bleeding test program
The heating circuit and the hot water circuit are bled 
via the automatic automatic air vent (the cap of the 
automatic automatic air vent must be released).
1 x "i" button: Start bleeding heating circuit
(display view: HP)
2 x "i" button: Start bleeding charging circuit
(display view: SP)
3 x "i" button: Exit bleeding program

The heating pump is cyclically actuated 

Note: 

The bleeding program takes about 6.5 minutes 

to complete.

P.1

Test program, maximum load:
The boiler is operated at full load following successful 
ignition and calibration.

P.2

Test program, minimum load:
The boiler is operated at minimum load following 
successful ignition and calibration.

P.5

Test program, safety thermostat:
The burner is switched on at maximum output and the 
temperature control is switched off so that the boiler 
produces heat, bypassing a regular shutdown, until the 
switch-off temperature of the safety thermostat is 
reached (97 °C).

P.6

Test program, Diverter valve centre position:
(not active)

Table 9.5 Test programs

1)

  Bleeding the boiler circuit:

 

Actuation of heating pump for 15 cycles: 15 s on, 10 s off. 
Display view: HP or SP.

9.3 

Resetting parameters to factory settings

In addition to the option of manually resetting the 
factory settings for the individual parameters specified 
in Tables 9.2 and 9.3, you can also reset all parameters 
simultaneously.
•  Change the value at diagnosis point "d.96“ in 

diagnosis level 2 to 1 (see Chap. 9.1.2).

The parameters of all adjustable diagnosis points now 
correspond to the factory settings.
