In order to remove the error code: 2 options:

1 Reprogram the CCU which is known as an ETNA CCU (module). This will require a hardware key and an ESAM unit (neither of which are readily available to purchase).

2 Install a pre-programmed ETNA CCU for the correct model.


I’m adding this info in 2021 in order to help anyone who encounters the same problem.

BTW - I’m a field service engineer.
