9.1  Safety thermostat in electrical heater  

(optional equipment) 

If an error occurs on an electrical heater, the safety 

thermostat will disconnect. The heater  

is equipped with a fire thermostat that automatically cuts 

off the power supply, if the temperature exceeds 50 °C.  

If the temperature decreases, the heater automatically 

re-engages. As an additional security there is a built-in 

thermal cut-out, which disengages if the temperature 

exceeds 100 °C. Re-engaging must be done manually. 

Does not apply to PTC electrical heaters. 

The system is not running. Unit stopped

Possible error

•   Fuse in main board has blown, no power to unit. 

•   One of the fuses on the circuit board of the unit isblown. 

•   Loose wire, no power to unit.

•   Loose wire between unit and control panel. 

•   Faulty or incorrectly set week program. 

•    Filter timer has switched the system off. Condensed 

water is leaking from the unit Possible error: 

•   Condensation outlet blocked by dirt. 

•    The condensation outlet is not adequately protected 

against freezing at low outdoor temperatures.

  •   If EB10 = on, check fans to ensure operation. If fans 

are expected to run and RPM feedback = 0 then 

ventilation unit will shut down and indicate alarm

No supply air

Possible error

•   Faulty supply air fan 

•   Clogged supply air filter 

•    Clogged fresh air grill due to dirt and leaves during the 

fall and snow and ice during the winter. 

•   Fuse on the circuit board is blown. 

•   The unit is in defrost mode (supply air fan stops) 

No extract air

Possible error

•   Faulty extract air fan 

•   Clogged extract air filter. 

•   Fuse on the circuit board is blown

 

Cold supply air

Possible error 

•   Clogged heat changer. 

•   Faulty extract air fan. 

•   Clogged extract air filter. 

•    Electrical reheater is disconnected at the over heating 

thermostat (only units with electrical reheater installed). 

•    Air in the heating pipes, faulty thermostat / motorvalve, 

incorrect setting of control panel.

Fans running full speed unintendedly

Check that EB9 is not set to m3/h when no flowsensors 

have been installed. Ensure that EB9 is set to %.

With flowsensors installed in product – check that the duct 

system is not blocked and that pressure drop is sufficiently 

low (ventilation unit is not able to reach setpoint)

9.2 Error codes 

Error messages will be written in clear text on the Optima 

Touch display. When using only the the I/O connector PCB 

and Optima Basic display – error messages will be displayed 

with red flashes from LED 2.

Please refer to the table below for identification of errors.

LED 1: Online

Green light on = internet connection o.k.

Green light off = no internet connection

LED 2: Alarm

1 flash  

= External stop

2 flashes   = Sensor error

3 flashes   = Humidity sensor error

4 flashes   = Fan error

5 flashes   = Sensor frost error

6 flashes   = fire failure / test

7 flashes   = fire failure – Damper 1

8 flashes   = fire failure – Damper 2

9 flashes   = fire failure – Box 1

10 flashes   = fire failure – Damper 3

11 flashes   = fire failure – Damper 4

12 flashes   = fire failure – Box 2

Rotary heatexchanger operation status:

During operation of rotary heatexchanger the following 

modes of operation can be read from the controller in the 

Info/Operation Status menu.

Rotor status = 0 (Rotary heatexchanger not activated in 

menu EC4)

Rotor status = 1 (Rotor stopped due to temperature 

conditions activating night cooling or indoor/outdoor 

temperature conditions too close) 

Rotor status = 2 (Rotor running due to heatrecovery 

demand)

Rotor status = 3 (Rotor running due to cooling recovery 

mode active, indoor air temperature is colder than outside 

air temperature)

Rotor status = 4 (Defrost mode, rotor speed reduced due to 

defrosting of rotary heatexchanger)
