Bosch · Compress 7000 Heat Pumps

What does 5246 mean?

This alarm indicates that either the electrical heater's overheating protector has triggered, or the heating system's pressure guard (MC1) has activated due to low system pressure (below 0.5 bar).

Common Causes

  • Low system pressure or air in the heating system.
  • Clogged filterball SC1 on the return pipe.
  • Bad circulation in the heating carrier/heating system.
  • Broken fuses (F1 or F50) or defective safety components (MC1, overheating protector).
