EBUS fault: voltage too low

Gas boiler

What it means

eBUS voltage detected below required level

Likely causes

  1. Short circuit on eBUS
  2. EBUS overload
  3. Two power supplies with different polarities on the eBUS

Where to start

  1. Read d.80 for heating mode running time (value x100 hours)
  2. Read d.81 for DHW mode running time (value x100 hours)
  3. Read d.82 for burner ignitions in heating mode (value x100)
