Possible Causes

Undersized or unstable mains supply, Short circuit on low-voltage circuit (eBUS, thermostat wiring), Faulty external controls, Internal PCB power supply fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Electrical work should be done with power isolated and by competent persons.

Checks:

  • Confirm that the mains supply voltage is within specification using a multimeter.
  • Disconnect external low-voltage controls (room thermostat, eBUS controls) one by one to see if the fault clears.
  • Inspect thermostat and control wiring for shorts or damage.

Repair: Replace or repair any shorted external wiring or controls. If F.49 persists with all external connections removed, the PCB's internal power supply may be faulty and require replacement by a technician.
