Possible Causes

Outdoor sensor cable cut or shorted, sensor exposed to direct sun or incorrect mounting, failed NTC element, loose terminal connection on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

The outdoor sensor is used for weather-compensated control in some Nibe systems.

  • Step 1 – Inspect outdoor sensor:
    • Locate the sensor on an external wall (north or shaded side recommended).
    • Check that the housing is intact and not filled with water or insects.
  • Step 2 – Check cable:
    • Inspect the cable run for damage from UV, animals, or mechanical impact.
    • Ensure the cable is firmly connected at the control board terminals.
  • Step 3 – Sensor test:
    • With power off, disconnect the sensor and measure resistance.
    • Compare to Nibe’s NTC table for the current outdoor temperature.
  • Step 4 – Reset and verify:
    • Restore power and clear the alarm.
    • Confirm that the displayed outdoor temperature is realistic.

If the sensor is faulty, replace it with a genuine Nibe outdoor sensor to ensure correct curve control.
