• Using a voltage meter, measure between the “-” or GND of the +24V power supply and the oncoming connection of the door contact.
• If the door is closed you should be measuring +24V here. If this is not the case, make sure the door contact is placed correctly.
• Replace the door contact if necessary.

• The door contact is incorrectly installed or defective.
• There is an error problem in switching the heating or cooling system. This can be complemented by the following symptoms: the C04 periodically loses its connection or when switching a relay, the C04 stops responding for a time.

• Check the door contact. Does it hang in a way that it raises doubt about its proper operation? If so, it must be repaired.
  The accompanying magnet has to be attached to the door and land flush with the contact when the door is closed.
• There might be an interference problem when switching the relays and you have not installed the necessary interference suppression. More information and the solution can be found on this page.
