Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS 0020046310_017210.4 Temporary shut-downThe compressor shuts down, the heat pump remains inoperation. The compressor can start again after 5 minu-tes at the soonest. (see below for exceptions).Fault code Error text/description Possible cause Remedy20 Frost protection heat sourcemonitoring source outletTemperature difference at theheat source (T3 - T8) > presetvalue "Delta T.
