Possible Causes
Incorrect wiring of external thermostat or BMS interface, Broken communication cable, Incompatible control signal, Faulty communication port on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power before working on control wiring.
Steps:
- 1. Verify wiring: Compare external control wiring to the Electrolux installation manual. Ensure polarity and terminal assignments are correct.
- 2. Inspect cable: Check the cable between the heater and external controller for cuts, kinks, or loose connections.
- 3. Test without external control: Temporarily disconnect the external controller and configure the heater for standalone operation. If E20 clears, the issue is with the external device or wiring.
- 4. Check compatibility: Ensure the external control signal type (e.g., on/off, 0–10 V, Modbus) matches the heater's requirements.
- 5. Replace communication module: If wiring and external devices are correct, the internal communication module or PCB may be defective.
Professional help: Integration with building management systems should be handled by qualified personnel.
