Midea R32 M thermal Arctic Mono fault EC
Balance tank sensor Tbt2 error
Heat pumpWhat it means
Balance tank sensor Tbt2 error (serial number 13). Displayed on user interface and refrigerant system main PCB.
Likely causes
- Sensor Tbt2 disconnected, sensor malfunction, wiring break, PCB connection issue
- Sensor Tbt2 fault
- Sensor wiring fault
- Main board fuse damaged/blown
- Insufficient refrigerant caused by refrigerant leakage
- Low pressure side blocked by crushed or bent pipe, blocked EXV, or dirty filter
- Poor air side heat exchanger heat exchange in heating or DHW mode
- Insufficient water flow rate in cooling mode
- Outdoor main PCB fault (last resort)
- Inverter module damaged
- Discharge temperature exceeding 105°C indicating high compressor load or high ambient/system conditions
- Hydronic box main PCB fault
- Damaged cables between hydronic box main PCB and outdoor unit main PCB
- Outdoor unit main PCB fault
- Incorrect or abnormal input power supply (N or L)
- Abnormal system state detected requiring compressor protection
- Set temperature reached during normal operation
Where to start
- Check sensor Tbt2 connection, measure sensor resistance, verify wiring continuity, test sensor response
- Check solar signal input SL1, SL2 wiring per Method1/2/3 configuration
- Verify zone pump wiring P_s, P_zb terminals

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.
