Fault

Possible cause

Remedy

1

Underfloor heating circuits do not heat up; pump not running

1.1

Temperature limiter (TL) is switching the control station 

pump off. 
Reason: TL setting is too low.

Set TL to approx. 10 K higher than the underfloor heating 

flow temperature.
Note the maximum permitted temperature for the under-

floor heating! 
The switching difference of the TL is approx. 5 K.
The control station is ready to operate more quickly if 

the TL is removed briefly to cool down to its switching 

temperature.

1.2

TL is switching the control station pump off. 
Reason: The pump remains switched on despite closed 

underfloor heating circuits. The water inside the control sta-

tion is being heated by waste heat from the pump. The TL 

switches the pump off when the maximum temperature is 

reached!

Remove TL from the control station and fit to supply heat-

ing circuit manifold. 
Use electrical control distributor with pump logic (relay). The 

pump logic ensures that the pump runs only if at least one 

underfloor heating circuit is open.

1.3

The pump is connected to a room thermostat or electrical 

control distributor. 
If all actuators are closed, the pump switches off. During a 

lengthy shutdown, the underfloor heating flow cools down. 

The controller therefore causes the 3-way mixer valve to 

open. Hot water is injected from the primary heating circuit. 

As a result, the control station heats up. When the maxi-

mum temperature of the TL is reached, the contact opens. 

The pump does not switch on again.

Remove TL from the control station and fit to supply heat-

ing circuit manifold. 

See 1.1

2

Underfloor heating flow temperature cannot be set to the required value or the feed temperature fluctuates 

significantly

2.1

Supply and return on the control station have been mixed 

up

Check that all connections on the control station are cor-

rect (see Section "Structure" on page <?>)

2.2

The head / pumping level of the pump is set too low

Change the pump setting (see separate pump instruction 

manual).

2.3

The differential pressure of the primary pump is too high 

(>500mbar)

Change the pump setting (see separate pump instruction 

manual) or fit differential pressure controller.

2.4

The heating load is too high for the control station, i.e. heat 

consumption exceeds the nominal output of the control sta-

tion. This condition can come about temporarily, for exam-

ple, when heating up a "cold" floor.

Establish maximum heat requirement and compare with 

nominal output. The heating circuits may have to be shared 

with a second control station with a corresponding heating 

circuit distributor. 
If this is caused by heating up the underfloor heating for the 

first time, it may start working normally after the heating up 

phase (2 – 3 days). This is particularly likely in the case of 

operation at the upper nominal output limit. 

2.5

The thermostat head is defective.

Replace the thermostat head.
