Possible Causes

Disconnected zone control module bus cable, Faulty Ariston zone controller, Incorrect addressing of zone modules, Blown low-voltage fuse on zone module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power to the heating control system and boiler before working on modules.

  • Locate zone module: Find the Ariston zone control box (often near the manifold or boiler). Check that its power LED is on.
  • Inspect bus cable: Ensure the communication cable between thermostat and zone module is firmly connected and not damaged. Reseat connectors.
  • Check addressing/dip switches: Verify that the zone module address (set by DIP switches or rotary selector) matches the configuration in the thermostat installer menu.
  • Check fuses: If accessible, inspect any low-voltage fuses on the zone module PCB and replace only with identical rated fuses if blown.
  • Reboot system: Power cycle both thermostat and zone module. If error 109 persists, the module may need replacement.
