2.3.5  STANDARD/BASIC CONTROLLER SYSTEM WARNINGS & ALARMS 

Flashing 2 digit display giving type of fault and a boiler/chiller volt free output signal for high or low pressure 
condition. 

Relay energised for normal condition and releases for a high or low pressure alarm fault condition.

 

 

Displayed Message 

Cause 

Check 

L P

 (Low pressure)  

system pressure at/below low 

pressure setting & delay timer expired 

Pressure vessel air charge wrong? Or 

water usage exceeds design capacity? 

Or pump(s) are tripped or air locked. 

L L

 (Low water Level) 

water level below supply tank low 
water alarm probe or pipework sensor 

dry. (240 second delay on automatic 

restart, after restoration of water 
level). 

Break tank float valve stuck closed? 
Or output of pumpset exceeds mains 
water supply into break tank? Mains 
water interruption to break tank? 

H P

 (High pressure) 

system pressure at/above high 
pressure setting & delay timer expired 

Pressure vessel air charge wrong? Or 
system water content exceeds design 
capacity? Or pump(s) are continuously 
running?. 

O r

 (system pressure Over Range) 

Pressure sensor output above 9.9 Bar 
or pressure sensor not connected 

correctly. 

Pressure higher than 9.9 Bar? Or 
pressure sensor failed? Or pressure 

sensor wiring loose? 

S P

 (setpoint point out of range) 

The setpoint pressure has been set 
either below 1.2 Bar or above 9.9 Bar. 

Adjust setpoint pressure within 
normal range. 

No Display 

1 Amp control fuse may have blown. 

If unit has been switched off for a long 
period, a turbine pump (where fitted) 
may have seized. Switch off unit, insert 
flat blade screwdriver into slot on end 
of motor shaft and rotate pump until 

free. Replace fuse with T1Ax20mm, 
try again. 

 

2.3.6  ENHANCED CONTROLLER SYSTEM WARNINGS 

Flashing display giving type of fault and a various volt free output signals on BMS enhanced models. 

(see wiring 

diagram provided with unit to see which volt free signal relays are present. Typical example shown in fig. 1.7).  

 

***** Warning ***** 

Cause 

Check 

High pressure approach 

system pressure at high pressure 

setting minus 0.2 Bar 

Pressure vessel air charge wrong? Or 

insufficient expansion capacity? 

Low pressure approach 

system pressure at low pressure 
setting plus 0.2 Bar 

Pressure vessel air charge wrong? Or 
water usage exceeds design capacity? 

Pump starts exceeded/is system 

leaking? 

duty pump starts exceeded “starts in 
12 mins” parameter 

System pipework is leaking 
excessively? Starts parameter set too 

low? 

Excessive run time/ is system leaking? 

duty pump continuously running for 
12 minutes 

System pipework is leaking 
excessively? 

Commissioning needed 

Unit has not been commissioned by 
authorised service engineer 

Have unit commissioned by 
authorised service engineer. 

Power Up 

Power interruption started “Power 
Up” sequence 

Incoming electrical supply 
interruption? Or missing phase? Or 
loose connections? 

Low level delay 

A low water level condition has reset, 
and a 4 minute delay is now initiated 
before normal operation will resume 

Check pumps are vented and wait for 
the delay time to expire 

Manual restart  

(when set to enabled) 

A power interruption or low water 
level has occurred, 

Carry out all necessary checks, then 
press the “Reset alarm” key on the 
micro
