5. Fault Finding 

Many faults which occur on commissioning are found to be due to incorrect wiring or setting up, therefore 
it is recommended that a thorough check is carried out should there be a problem.

Possible Cause

 

Action

 

Blank display on software controller

 

No power supply

 

Check Fuse in plug and replace if necessary. 
Check wall mounted electrical isolator switch 
or call electrician

 

Controls MCB tripped

 

Call electrician to investigate cause

 

There is no call from the time-clock or

 

thermostat for heat pump operation

 

Programme time-clock according to manu-
facturer’s instructions

 

Compressor not running but display

 

reading temperature near setpoint

 

Heat pump is up to temperature

 

No fault

 

Display flashes fault code tP

 

Low water pressure in the ground or heating 
system side due to pipe relaxation or other 
pressure loss.

 

The pressures should be between 1 and 2 
bar. If below this, the pressure needs to be 
increased above 1.8 bar

 

To increase the pressure in either circuit, the 
cold fill valve will need to be opened.

Overheat warning. No or low flow around 
heating distribution circuit because of air in 
water pump, or stuck water pump impellor, 
or heating distribution system valves/
actuators closed. 
 
HP can also be  temporarily displayed when 
the heat pump reverts from DHW to space 
heating mode.

 

Check that the water pumps are operational 
and spin the impellors. ( See section 6.3 ) 
 
 
 
 
No action

 

Display flashes fault code LP

 

Low gas pressure in machine. Can occur 
simultaneously with an A1 alarm. 
 
 
 
 
Can occur temporarily on first start up when 
unit is new or after a long period out of use.  
 
Insufficient antifreeze added and heat pump 
frozen.

 

Check that the water pump is operational 
and spin the impellors (see section

 

6.3) 

If symptom persists outside of the two listed 
circumstances, contact Kensa Technical de-
partment. 
 
No action 
 
 
Allow heat pump to defrost and add the 
correct antifreeze quantity.

 

Display flashes fault code A1

 

Freeze protection system activated. Low or 
no water flow on the ground (cold) side of 
the machine. Can also occur after many 
months of running in very cold weather.

 

Check antifreeze has been added and unit 
commissioned correctly.  
Check that the water pump is operational 
and spin the impellors (see section

 

6.3) 

 
Ensure no flow restrictions and wait approxi-
mately 4 hours (with the machine turned off) 
for automatic reset.

 

Display flashes fault code E1, E2, E3 or E4
