Haier troubleshooting
Heat pump communication
If the Haier is not successfully communicating with the Passiv Smart Thermostat then check the following:
- Confirm the RS485 cable connections within the indoor unit are the correct way around. If necessary double check continuity back to the previous device
- Confirm the screening drain wire is interconnected and earthed at a single point e.g. Programmer earth
- Ensure a single twisted pair (e.g. white core + black core) is used for A (white core) & B (black core). Do NOT double up cores or use cores from different twisted pairs for A & B connections.
Heat pump operation
If the Haier heat pump fails to respond to changes on the Programmer or thermostats, such as a higher target temperature. Please check the Haier indoor unit for a failure code, often in new installations air may be present around the circulation pump, which may prevent the heat pump from starting.
Check MENU > SETTINGS > INSTALLATION > 841226 > SYSTEM INSTALLATION please check that the below match.
- Control mode Zone 1 <main controller>
- Control mode DHW <main controller>
Setting this to any other setting will prevent the Passiv Smart Thermostat from controlling the heating.
For further guidance consult the Haier installation guide.
