Possible Causes

Incorrectly wired Ferroli outdoor sensor, Wrong sensor type configured in thermostat, Broken cable between thermostat and outdoor sensor, Faulty outdoor NTC sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Outdoor sensor wiring is low‑voltage but may run externally; isolate power before working on terminals.

  • Check configuration:
    • In the thermostat installer menu, ensure weather compensation is enabled only if an outdoor sensor is installed.
    • Select the correct sensor type if options are provided.
  • Inspect outdoor sensor:
    • Locate the Ferroli outdoor sensor on an external wall.
    • Check that the housing is intact and cable gland is sealed.
  • Check wiring continuity:
    • At the thermostat terminals, ensure the two‑core cable is firmly connected.
    • Repair any visible cable damage.
  • Replace sensor if needed:
    • If F15 persists and resistance tests show an open/short, replace the Ferroli outdoor NTC sensor.
