How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off the power before working on control wiring.
Steps:
- Check that the room controller or thermostat has power (batteries or mains supply).
- Inspect the low-voltage control cable between the IVT boiler and controller for damage or loose terminals.
- Ensure the polarity and terminals match the IVT wiring diagram (e.g., BUS+, BUS−, or OT1, OT2).
- Reset both the boiler and controller according to their respective manuals.
- If communication is still lost, a technician should test with a known-good controller and replace the faulty device or PCB interface.
