Pressure Sensor Saunier Duval, Protherm, and Vaillant (Isofast, Isomax, Isotwin, Thema)
When you open the tap or start the heating, the Saunier Duval, Protherm, and Vaillant Pressure Sensor (Isofast, Isomax, Isotwin, Thema) measures the water circuit pressure and sends this information to the control board. If this part fails, you may notice incorrect readings and, at times, lockouts due to a false lack of pressure, which can manifest with the fault code F9. This sensor is compatible with models such as the Thema Classic F 25 E, C 25 E, F 30 E, C 24 E1, F 24 E1, and the Isofast F 35 E, among others. It should be replaced when you start experiencing those symptoms or faults in the system.

How to check if ref. S5720500 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference S5720500. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the pressure sensor S5720500 resolves.
The pressure sensor measures the water pressure for the electronics. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The boiler shows a low pressure fault when starting the heating, although at rest the reading seems normal.
Cause: The sensor can fail due to the pressure variation caused by the circuit startup.
Compare the reading at rest and when starting; if the jump is excessive compared to a mechanical manometer, suspect the sensor.
- 02
No pressure value is displayed on the screen, as if the sensor is not connected.
Cause: The sensor is not sending a signal to the PCB, either due to an internal fault or a poor connection.
Check the three-pin connector before purchasing the part: make sure it is properly seated, without corrosion or moisture.
- 03
The boiler works but sometimes it locks for a few seconds due to pressure and then continues on its own.
Cause: An unstable signal from a sensor can cause intermittent cuts that the PCB interprets as pressure drops.
Note when it occurs (start, stop, temperature change) to see if it matches a thermal pattern of the sensor.
- 04
Have you checked the pressure gauge and the filling valve, and is the pressure problem still the same?
Cause: If the water circuit is fine and the fault persists, the sensor that translates that pressure into an electrical signal needs to be checked.
First, rule out leaks and air in the circuit; only if everything is fine, the sensor becomes the main suspect.
Fault codes from Saunier Duval that this spare part resolves.
| Code | Fault | Diagnosis and solution |
|---|---|---|
| F9 | Water pressure sensor fault. | The pressure transducer S5720500 delivers an absent/out-of-range signal or does not reach the PCB, the electronics interpret an abnormal pressure and lock with F9; verify by measuring the sensor signal and the harness/wiring and comparing with an external manometer. |
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
