Hello Thomas,

I have seen many different errors over the years related to the BCU-II,
but never this one.

I suspect a minor issue with communication.  It's communicating
sufficiently well to be able to switch it on and off, but it seems to
have trouble getting sensor information.

What happens if you try to use the manual switch on the BCU-II instead
of controlling it remotely through software?  Does the chiller stay
on?

Or does it still switch itself off?

Bob.
