Trianco High Temperature Air Source Heat Pump R290 fault P182

Exhaust over temp

Heat pump

What it means

Fault triggered when exhaust (discharge) temperature reaches or exceeds the configured threshold (C05 parameter, default 110), indicating overheating of the compressor discharge, possibly due to refrigerant issues.

Likely causes

  1. Sensor fault causing incorrect reading (resistance out of 100Ω-500kΩ range)
  2. Refrigerant leakage

Where to start

  1. Measure the resistance of sensor
  2. Check the unit to find if it has refrigerant leakage

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.
