Possible Causes

Broken OpenTherm/Bus wiring, Incorrect controller configuration, Faulty room thermostat, PCB communication interface fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working on control wiring.

Steps:

  • Check that the room controller or thermostat has power (batteries or mains).
  • Inspect the low-voltage control cable between the IVT boiler and controller for damage or loose terminals.
  • Ensure the polarity and terminals match the IVT wiring diagram (e.g., BUS+, BUS− or OT1, OT2).
  • Reset both the boiler and controller according to their manuals.
  • If communication is still lost, a technician should test with a known-good controller and replace the faulty device or PCB interface.
