sensor values
S.277 Building circuit: Pump If the building circuit pump is inactive, the heat pump is switched off for 10 minutes and is then restar-
fault ted. If the building circuit pump does not start up after three unsuccessful restarts, the heat pump is
switched off and the fault message F.788 is displayed.

S.287 Fan 1: Wind Before starting, the fan rotates at a speed of 50 rpm or higher. This may be caused by a strong out-
side wind.
