8. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR FX PRO VS II PUMPS

COMPUTER CONTROLLED TROUBLE SHOOTING FEATURES for FX PRO VS II PUMPS:

1. High or Low Temperature Protection

When the motor temperature is higher than 194°F or is lower than 23°F, the pump will stop and the 
error code TP is displayed. When normal motor temperature is restored, between 41°F to 140°F, the 

pump will start automatically according to user’s automatic mode programming.

2. Blocking or Jamming Protection

When the motor impeller or the motor is stuck, the error code BP is displayed. The pump will 
automatically attempt to restart in 6 seconds. If restarting does not happen automatically after several 
attempts users need to check the impeller and motor. Always turn off power before attempting 
maintenance.

3. Voltage Overload Protection

When the controller has a fault such as overload or overcurrent, the error code OL is displayed. The 
pump tries to restart in 6 seconds automatically if the pump is not damaged.

4. Phase-Loss Protection

When the main PCB detects a phase loss problem (e.g. the motor cable is not properly connected), 
the error code LP is displayed. The pump will try to restart automatically in 6 seconds after the cable is 
reconnected or the phase loss is resolved.

5. Communication Loss Protection

When a communication failure occurs between the display PCB and the main PCB inside the pump, 
the error code CP is displayed and the pump stops.

FAULT CODES, CAUSES, & SOLUTIONS:

Code

Fault

Display

Possible Causes

Solution

TP

High temperature or low 

temperature protection

Temperature higher 

than 194°F or 

temperature lower than 

23°F.

1. Wait for the temperature to return to 

normal (41°F to 140°F).

BP

The motor impeller or the 

motor will not turn

1. Pump sucked in 

impurities and the 

impeller is jammed.
2. Bearing damage froze 

the motor shaft.

1. The pump will attempt to restart 

automatically in 6 seconds. If restarting 

fails user needs to check the impeller 

and motor when the power is off.
2. Send it to a professional repair 

station.

OL

Voltage Overload

The output amperage is 

too high.

1. The pump will try to restart au-

tomatically in 6 seconds if it is not 

damaged.
2. Send it to a professional repair 

station for repair.

LP

Phase Loss

There is a phase wire 

missing connection at 

the input.

1. The pump will try to restart 

automatically in 6 seconds after the 

phase wire is well connected.

CP

Communication Failure

1. Loose connection 

cable between display 

PCB and main PCB;

2. Connection cable 

damaged.

1. After  communication is restored, 

the pump will restart automatically.
2. Check the connection cable.
3. Send it to a professional repair 

station for repair.
