7.4. EZ Boost BMQE Built-in Protection

The EZ Boost BMQE incorporates an electronic unit which 
protects the motor in various situations.
•  In case of overload, the built-in overload protection   
will stop the BMQE for 5 minutes. After that period,  

 

the booster module will attempt to restart. 
•  If started without water (dry running), the BMQE will  
 

stop after 30 seconds.

•  If stopped as a result of dry running, the BMQE will   
start automatically after 5 minutes.

The motor is protected against the following conditions:
•  Dry running
•  Voltage surges (up to 4000 V)
•  Under voltage
•  Over voltage
•  Overload
•  Over temperature

7.4.1. Restarting the BMQE pump

To reset the EZ Boost BMQE, switch off the electricity sup-
ply for 1 minute. 

8. EZ Boost System Service
8.1. EZ Boost BMQE Service

For  the  replacement  and  repair  of  parts  of  the  EZ  Boost 
BMQE, please refer to: 
1.  Service instructions for SQE pumps describing  

 

 

replacement of motor cable and motor.

2.  Parts list for SQE with instructions for dismantling and  
 

assembly of pump and motor.

8.2. EZ Boost Controller Service

Before starting any work on the EZ Boost con-
troller,  make  sure  that  the  electricity  supply 
has  been  switched  off  and  that  it  cannot  be 
accidentally switched on.

The  EZ  Boost  controller  continuously  receives 
operating  data  from  the  pump.  In  case  of  an 
alarm, the service indicator light is permanently 
on, see fig. 13.

The service indicator light will be permanently on if one of 
the following alarm situations occurs:
•  Sensor defective. 

•  Overload.

•  Over temperature. 

•  Speed reduction.

•  Voltage alarm. 

•  No contact to pump.

To identify the cause of the service alarm, it is necessary to 
remove the front cover from the EZ Boost controller. Fit the 
front cover as shown in fig. 14 to avoid disconnecting the 
multi-core cable.

A number of LED’s are mounted on the supply board inside 
the EZ Boost controller, see section 7.3.3. Position of LED’s.

Fig. 14 shows the LED’s and the alarm texts on the supply 
board.
