Possible Causes

Failed NTC sensor on solar or auxiliary coil, loose sensor in pocket, damaged cable, incorrect sensor connection on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing sensor wiring or control boards.

This alarm relates to the temperature sensor on an auxiliary coil (e.g. solar thermal coil) in the Nibe cylinder.

  • Step 1 – Identify coil sensor:
    • Refer to the wiring diagram to locate the sensor assigned to the auxiliary coil.
  • Step 2 – Inspect installation:
    • Ensure the sensor is fully inserted into the correct sensor pocket on the coil connection.
    • Check that it is not swapped with another sensor.
  • Step 3 – Wiring and test:
    • Inspect the cable for damage and reseat the connector.
    • Measure resistance and compare to expected values.
  • Step 4 – Reset:
    • Restore power, clear the alarm, and verify that the coil temperature reading is stable.

Replace the sensor if faulty; if the alarm persists, the control input may be defective.
