    Thanks Jeremy. I can’t help but think life would be a lot easier with a command unit. Unfortunately they seem to be like rocking horse **** !

    Gotcha, thanks Jeremy. The thing that confused me was that the error I got was before pressing SW800 (and I didn’t realise I needed to press the button to get another message) Your experience plus the lack of a flashing LED on the board / diagnostic box makes perfect sense. I think I’ll go up there again today to see what happens with the TRVs open, and if it faults out I can press SW800 for possibly more info. Thanks for for bearing with me, Cheers.

    Jeremy, I was just looking through the manual to try and learn how to manage to interpret the LED faults. It says about having Display 1 & Display 2 >> I read my fault as being something to do with the compressor or in that section anyway ? Then I’d need to press Sw800 to drill down further ? Off Off On Off On On Or am I miles off the mark ? Sorry for all the questions !

    All the rads appeared to be getting the same amount of heat. I think this has even been put in since they moved in, but I will ask. Cheers.

    Lovely, thanks chaps. We’ll see what happens with the TRVs open. I’ve had help on forums before but some of you people are different level. Cheers.

    Again, thanks chaps. Oh yeah, it’s got everything Peter..........bar the ability to heat the place !

    Filters ?
  8. Lynford
    Hello gents, So I could have used #13 instead of bodging up modifying #3……I may revisit that next time I go up, ta. Yes there are TRVs on all of the rads - Should I be looking at opening these all up fully and trying it again ? There are also what look like filters in both the flow & return of the system, Maybe these could a restriction in flow and rise in pressure ? As ever, thank you.

    Afternoon all, So today feels a little one step forward, two steps back. I went to fit bootlaces to the wires but took the wrong size (not sure I could get more than one of any size in a terminal anyway) Checking the connections, I found that #3 wasn’t done up properly. I went to tighten it and found out why - It’s broken (see pic 1, you can see the screw isn’t done up properly, because it can’t be). As per Jeremy’s tips, if 3&7 are linked out the unit tries to cool. So I’m thinking, “this is it, job done” With no no other means of fixing it, I’ve put a chocolate block in between the three wires in terminal 3, and the other side of the terminal (see pic 2). I’m hoping that there isn’t another internal link from the terminal block that I can’t see. So all connected up, the ASHP starts running and after a short while I feel heat on the flow side. Nothing getting to the rads, so bearing in mind Peter’s thoughts about the diverter valve, I flicked over the manual lever.........and I get heat at the rads. WOO HOO. Obviously not in the clear here, still need it to check I can produce HW and there’s the confusion / issue with the diverter valve but feeling pretty smug. UNTIL The Rads didn’t seem to be heating anymore, so I go outside and the ASHP isn’t running. Inside the unit on the PCB where Jeremy got me to check last week, I had 3 lights on. The one I had last week in green but two above it in amber (D802 & D804, picture 3) Also a flashing red LED on a lower board, that I don’t remember from last week. Nothing on the Kingspan diagnostic box. I checked that 3&6 were still closed, so telling the pump to run. A lot of (garbled) info there chaps........any ideas where I go from here please ? Cheers, Lyndon

    Brilliant, ta. Yeah I saw the mains terminals, no sign of any attempt to keep them covered up really is there ! Hopefully I can find something out tomorrow. Cheers.
  11. Lynford
    Just to to be clear Jeremy, these are the terminals within the actual heat pump ? So I can check that 13 & 15 are open with my meter, link out 3&6 and I should be getting heating ? Ta, Lyndon

    Hello Peter, The tank was was replaced a couple of months ago, but the system has never really run properly (certainly not when it’s cold outside). It’s hard to work out from the information I have if it’s better or worse since. It’s pretty much turned off now with the immersion doing the HW and a plethora of electric heaters heating the bungalow, which I imagine is making the electricity meter whirr like a good un. They live in a village in Norfolk, near Brandon. Going back up there tomorrow to tidy up some of the wiring, and try a few things suggested on here. I’ll make sure to check the diverter. Cheers.
  13. Lynford
    That’s brilliant, thank you. This gives me a few things to try / check. As I said before, I’ll take some bootlace ferrules up next time and tidy all that messy wiring in the pump. Some of the connections didn’t look great, maybe a wire slightly hanging out / not done up properly could be at fault ? I can check that 3&7 are linked together, and if necessary link out 3&6 to try and start the pump. Also if I take my meter up, using a length of cable I can bell out the wire between the unit and the wiring insdoors to make sure all is well there. Thanks again Jeremy
  14. Lynford
    Right, ta. Would the trigger for the unit not come from the room stat / timer ? I’m afraid all this is a bit beyond me.
  15. Lynford
    By the way, can you frig these valves to open / close them ? Take the actuator off and turn them with an adjustable or similar ? Ta
  16. Lynford
    Hello all, The FIL told me he’s now found a diagram and was going to send it to me........haven’t got it yet. Heres the type of valve.
  17. Lynford
    Thanks Peter. Ill get the FIL to check the lever. I’m not sure if I got another pic of the valve, I’ll have a look and if not I’ll get the FIL to take one and send it to me.
  18. Lynford
    Thank you. This system has actually worked before, it seems that as soon as the temperature drops it goes off again. The wiring in the ASHP didn’t look too great either, loads of wires with makeshift numbers written on tape that is wrapped around them, also not in the terminals very well. The next time I go I’m going to take a handful of bootlace ferrules and tidy that up / make sure they are in properly. Thanks again.
  19. Lynford
    Thanks Mr H. I see see what you mean about getting a packet off the cover - The live terminals aren’t exactly covered well ! Unfortunately this may be a slow process as we live an hour away and I can only get up there at certain times. I did have the cover off and found only one of those LEDs (D805) on when I turned the power back on.
  20. Lynford
    I also have some terribly drawn diagrams that I’ve done of the pipe work. I’ve no idea if these make any sense but if needed I’ll take pics of them when I get home and put those up as well. Thanks again, Lyndon

    I’m told that this diagram from the manual is the wiring within the Danfoss box as above. However I’m not so sure as some of the numbers don’t correspond and on here it says that 3 & 7nshould be linked out, which they aren’t in that Danfoss box.
  22. Lynford
    Controls The Timeguard one on the right is to control the HW immersion heater. The Danfoss one on the left is supposed to be the ASHP heating and HW. The wiring is is within the Danfoss box that is sitting above the Kingspan diagnostic box.

    General pipework pictures. Some of the piping makes sense to me (the uninitiated) but then pipes disappear into the floor and I have no idea where they go.
  24. Lynford
    Cylinder. This was recently changed due to rust in the original around a couple of the ports.
