MAINTENANCE
Troubleshooting
35
Run On
Won’t stop pump
• Pressure sensor placement
and setting
• Tank pre-charge pressure
• Impeller damage
• Leaky system
• Sized improperly (pump can’t
build enough head)
• Check frequency at low flows, pressure setting may be too close to
pump max head
• Verify precharge at 70% if tank size is larger than minimum,
increase precharge (up to 85%)
• Verify that the system will build and hold pressure
• Enable bump and/or aggressive bump
• Increase minimum frequency
Runs But Trips
1-7
• Check fault code and see
corrective action
• Proceed to fault code description and remedy
Low Pressure
• Pressure sensor setting,
pump sizing
• High temperature
• Adjust pressure sensor
• Check frequency at max flow, check max pressure
• High ambient and/or drive temperature will cause drive to
foldback power and run with reduced performance
High Pressure
• Pressure sensor setting
• Shorted sensor wire
• Adjust pressure sensor
• Remove sensor wire at Input Board, if drive stops running, wire
may be shorted
• Remove sensor wire at Input Board, if drive continues to run,
replace drive
• Verify condition of sensor wire and repair or replace if necessary
Audible Noise
• Fan
• Drive
• Hydraulic
• Plumbing
• For excessive fan noise, replace fan
• If fan noise is normal, drive will need to be relocated to a more
remote area
• If hydraulic, try raising or lowering depth of pump
• Pressure tank location should be at entrance of water line into
house
RFI-EMI
Interference
• Poor grounding
• Wire routing
• Radio or other electronic
equipment too close to motor
leads
• Adhere to grounding and wire routing recommendations
• An additional external filter may be needed.
Intermittent drive
or pump operation
x 5
• Open Circuit
• Drive motor output is wired
through the pump pressure
switch
• Wire the drive directly to the pump/motor, bypassing the pump
pressure switch.
