Possible Causes

Faulty external temperature sensor (if fitted), Broken outdoor sensor cable, Incorrect sensor type installed, PCB sensor input failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working on external sensor wiring.

  • 1. Check if external sensor is installed: Some Beretta models support an outdoor or remote sensor. If none is installed but A17 appears, configuration may be incorrect.
  • 2. Inspect sensor location: Ensure the outdoor sensor (if present) is mounted correctly, not in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
  • 3. Wiring check: Follow the cable from the sensor to the heater. Look for cuts, crushed sections, or loose terminals.
  • 4. Resistance test (technician): Measure sensor resistance and compare with Beretta's chart. Replace if out of range.
  • 5. Configuration check: A technician should verify in the installer menu that the sensor type and presence are correctly configured.
