How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate power before working on low-voltage wiring.
- Check bus wiring: Verify that the two-wire bus from the Hoval boiler to the room controller or TopTronic module is continuous, correctly polarised, and not shorted.
- Reduce devices: If multiple modules are connected, temporarily disconnect extras to see if communication is restored.
- Terminations: Ensure any required bus termination resistors are installed as per Hoval documentation.
- If E05 persists, a technician should test each module and replace the faulty one.
