Possible Causes

Depleted internal batteries in Ngenic thermostat (if battery-powered model), Depleted batteries in remote sensors or valves, Use of incorrect battery type or poor-quality cells, High RF retransmissions causing excessive power draw

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Only handle batteries; do not open sealed electronic modules.

  • Identify device: In the app, check which Ngenic device reports low battery (thermostat, room sensor, radiator valve).
  • Replace with quality cells: Install new, high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries as specified by Ngenic. Observe polarity.
  • Check for corrosion: Inspect battery contacts for corrosion; clean gently with a dry cloth if needed.
  • Optimize placement: If batteries drain quickly, move the device closer to the control module to reduce RF retransmissions.

Persistent E12 after fresh batteries may indicate a hardware fault in the affected Ngenic device, requiring replacement.
