SECTION 7 - The HIU Controller first power up and set up SECTION 11 - Fault and Error Codes / Fault finding guide code Cause Effect Remedy E1 The measured primary temperature is lower than the set point temperature is for heating so the HIU will not be able to achieve the set temperature. This is after approximately 60 seconds of flow. The function is re-enabled when the primary exceeds the setpoint temperature. Check the set point in the controller, adjust if the set point is set higher than the design supply temperature. Check that the primary temperature probe is correctly connected to the primary pipe. When the primary temperature and set point are aligned, the error code E1 automatically disappears. E2 In installations where Radiators are at very high temperatures, then this is a warning that the return temperature is higher than the maximum allowed in parameter 20. As this is a safety function, the PICV closes until the sensor on the primary return sees a temperature drop of 10C below the parameter 20 set point for maximum. Check parameter 20 is set correctly, if too low, reset this at 5C higher than secondary heating flow set temperature. Check the temperature probe is positioned correctly. Reset (turn power on and off) to recalibrate the PICV actuator. E3 The controller is recognising and warning that the HIU performance is not as the algorithm predicts. The energy transfer is poor, and the HIU is not delivering heat as it should be. Heat transfer is inefficient, heating capacity reduced and temperature control unstable. If signs of blockage it could be the strainer is blocked or the PHE is partially blocked with lime scale. Check PICV fully open and check flow on the heat meter. Low flow value would prove that a blockage of some sort is the issue. E5 Heating is not reaching the set point so is performing poorly or not at all. Heating stops after 20 minutes and shows the E5 code. Resets after 30 seconds Or Error LEDs on the pump? Power ON and OFF at the mains switch, this allows the PICV to recalibrate, and in doing this will allow a small flow into the PHE, which then proves the PICV and Diverter not at fault. Check the following possibilities. - Primary temperature is too low? - Is the set temperature on the controller higher than the incoming primary (network) temperature and temperature is impossible to reach? Rest set the temperature so it is 10C lower than the primary. - PICV blocked / strainer blocked? - Diverter in the wrong posion? E6 Temperature information from the heating temperature sensors is wrong or unusual. Return temperature is too high with no apparent control being seen. This error code is showing that either; 1.The heating temperature sensors have been wrongly positioned with the flow on the return and the return on the flow, change them to their correct position. 2.The installer has not connected the primary connections correctly, with the flow connected to the return connection. Check temperatures. E7 The heating return temperature is too high and the HIU is warning the operator. Various causes may be considered, example all TRVs may be closed with only 1 x small radiator open, but the room thermostat is still calling for heat. Various causes may be considered, example all TRVs may be closed with only 1 x small radiator open, but the room thermostat is still calling for heat. The return temperature is much too high, so the HIU ceases .The effect is that the controller shuts down the pump before re-starting again after 10 minutes. The E7 will automatically reset itself aſt er 10 minutes. Attention should be paid to the set up of the heating radiators and controls. Is the room thermostat positioned correctly to turn off before all the TRVs shut down? Is the radiator circuit balanced correctly at the radiator valves? E7 may occur under certain test conditions where unnatural operating conditions are forced. E8 The PICV actuator cable has been disconnected from the controller or there’s a failure on the actuator itself. The E8 code appears on the screen. Heating is no longer available. To avoid over heating risk , when the HIU detects a heating flow temperature 10°C above setpoint for more than the programmed time interval (90 seconds factory set, adjustable up to 210 seconds) the HIU will shut down and show an E8 error code. Pump will switch off. Allow the unit to cool down first! Check PICV actuator connection, and that the valve stem pin is not jammed (free if possible). Power OFF then ON again, check for movement in the actuator stem. Replace the actuator if found to be seized. Replace the valve cartridge if found to be seized. Diagnostics - Error code definitions. When an error code is displayed, the controller is warning of unsuitable operating conditions that may be causing the HIU to operate inefficiently or possibly, not at all. If left in that state, these conditions could become a safety issue. Page 16 e&oe 07/22
