Grant Aerona R290 fault P05

Discharge temperature protection

Heat pump

What it means

Discharge temperature protection triggered due to lack of refrigerant or faulty discharge temperature sensor.

Likely causes

  1. Lack of refrigerant
  2. Discharge temperature sensor is faulty
  3. Outdoor air temperature (T4) below 7°C combined with low return (TA) or flow (TB) water temperature below 6°C

Where to start

  1. Check for leak in refrigerant circuit
  2. Check whether the discharge temperature sensor (TP) seems in normal condition
  3. Check ambient temperature sensor (T4) reading

Safety: Isolate the outdoor unit and any backup heater, and give the inverter capacitors time to discharge before you open the electrics. Anything on the refrigerant circuit needs F-gas certification.
