Grant Aerona R290 fault 5

What it means

Pump phase loss protection has activated; pump will automatically re-start after 5 seconds.

Likely causes

1. Loss of one phase to pump motor
2. Poor pump performance
3. Fuse is burnt out
4. Connection to PCB is loose or disconnects
5. Pump failure
6. Too low voltage
7. Pump rotors are stuck
8. Gas in the pump
9. Inlet pressure too low
10. Flow regulators or restrictors fitted in circuit
11. Valves not fully open causing flow restriction
12. External electrical isolator switched to OFF position
13. Heat pump switched OFF at the controller
14. No demand from heating system controls
15. Outdoor temperature too high to call heat pump on (weather regulated zones)
16. Active error code present on controller
17. Outside air temperature at or below 6°C
18. System water temperature at or below 6°C
19. Outdoor temperature too high for weather compensated zones to call heat pump
20. Active error code on controller display
21. Insufficient flow rate through primary circuit
22. Pump fault or blockage causing low flow
23. Wire disconnection or wiring error between the heat pump, wiring centre and touch screen display
24. Fuse on the hydraulic module PCB may have failed
25. Fuse on the Smart Controller wiring centre PCB may have failed
26. PWM circulating pump not modulating correctly
27. Blockage or air in primary circuit
28. External electrical isolator switched OFF for extended period during cold weather
29. 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 electrical supply phases to pump
2. Check wiring connections to pump
3. Check inlet water pressure
