Fault Code (4)8 – Load Fault!

Fault Code (4)8 indicates that the connected load is faulty. This can occur if there is a problem with the heating element or the wiring associated with the heater, causing abnormal resistance or a short circuit.

Checks to Perform

  1. Verify the Power Rating of All Connected Heaters
    • Confirm that the power rating of all connected heaters is within the recommended specifications.
    • Ensure that the total load does not exceed 3.7kW per heater output.
  2. Isolate the Unit from the Supply
    • Disconnect the device from the power supply to ensure safety before performing any checks.
  3. Check the Resistance Between Heater Terminals
    • Use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the following heater terminals:

      • L1 and N
      • L2 and N
    • The resistance should fall within the range of 15 Ω to 350 Ω.

      NOTE: A resistance of approximately 18-20 Ω is typical for an immersion heater.

  4. If the Load is Faulty
    • If the measured resistance falls outside the normal range, the connected heater may be faulty.
    • Replace the affected heater before reconnecting the device to the power supply.

Post-Check Actions

  1. After replacing any faulty heaters, reconnect the device to the power supply and check if the error code clears.
  2. If the issue persists despite replacing the heater, further inspection of the wiring or connections may be necessary.
  3. If required, consult technical support for further guidance or assistance.

Preventative Recommendations

  • Regularly inspect the connected heaters for any signs of wear or damage that could cause faulty connections.
  • Ensure proper installation and maintenance of heaters to prevent load faults in the future.

By following these steps, you can effectively resolve Fault Code (4)8: Load Fault and restore proper operation of the device.
