Grant Aerona R32 fault E8
Remote controller communication error
Heat pumpWhat it means
Communication error between remote controller and controller PCB, caused by incorrect wiring or loose connections.
Likely causes
- Incorrect remote controller wiring
- Faulty controller PCB
Where to start
- Confirm pre-plumbed cylinder wiring already completed if applicable
- Check shielding used if cable run exceeds 30m for wiring centre to heat pump cable
