The following is provided to help diagnose a probable source of trouble. It is a guideline only and may not show all causes for all
problems. For additional troubleshooting help, contact your local distributor or visit kascomarine.com for additional guidance.
Note:
you
may need to refer to your owners manual that was provided with your fountain for additional control panel settings and adjustments.
“My light kit is installed and
wired but
will not turn on.”
Ensure control panel is connected to the electrical circuit. Verify circuit breakers, timers, and/or interlock switches are turned on and
functional. Refer to your owners manual that was provided with the fountain.
It may not be dark enough for the photo eye on the control panel to activate.
•
C-25 control panel: The control panel has a photo eye on the left side of the enclosure exterior. This photo eye measures
ambient light. To activate, the photo eye must not measure any ambient light for at least several minutes. Also, the C-25 timer
must be turned on (fountain operating) to allow the light circuit to energize. Covering the photo eye with black electrical tape
will activate the photo eye for testing.
•
C-85, or C-95 control panel with GFCI outlet and photo eye control: The control panel has a photo eye on the left side of the
enclosure exterior. This photo eye measures ambient light. To activate, the photo eye must not measure any ambient light for
at least several minutes. Also, the fountain timer must be turned on (fountain operating) to allow the light circuit to energize.
Covering the photo eye with black electrical tape will activate the photo eye for testing. While the photo eye is covered, the
GFCI outlet can be reset if tripped.
The timer may not be set properly.
•
C-85, or C-95 control panel (and all 3phase fountain control panels) with terminal connections and timer control for light kit:
The control panel has a second timer for controlling the lights (no photo eye). Ensure the light timer is set to operate the lights.
The timer has a built in Hand-Off-Auto switch. Ensure the switch is set properly. Ensure the fountain is turned on. The light
timer will not energize the light kit unless the fountain circuit is energized.
The GFCI may be tripped.
•
C-25 control panel: Reset the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset it could be a ground fault in the fountain wiring, or the light kit
wiring. Unplug both the fountain and light kit and reset the GFCI. If it resets, plug fountain then light kit back in and see which
one trips the GFCI. If the GFCI does not reset with both unplugged, then the GFCI may be defective.
•
C-85, or C-95 control panel with GFCI outlet and photo eye control: To reset the GFCI outlet the fountain timer must be turned
on, and the photo eye must be activated. (black electrical tape can be wrapped around the photo eye to activate it). Once
these are on, the GFCI reset button can be pressed. (unplug the light kit prior). Plug the light kit in and see if it operates. If the
GFCI trips again then the light kit may be damaged. If the GFCI does not reset (with light kit unplugged) then it may be
defective, or the photo eye is not activated to send power to the outlet.
•
C-85, or C-95 control panel with terminal connections and timer control for light kit: For panels with a GFCB (ground fault
circuit breaker) and timer-controlled lights, simply reset the two-pole breaker. This will turn the fountain and light kit back on if
the timers are set to on! If it trips again, disconnect the light kit from the terminals and reset.
WARNING!
You must turn off
power to the panel before disconnecting any wiring from the terminals! If the breaker trips with the light kit disconnected, then
disconnect the fountain as well and reset. If the breaker continues to trip it may be a defective GFCB. If the breaker resets,
then reconnect the fountain then the light kit to see which one trips the GFCB.
•
3phase fountain control panels: 3phase fountain panels have a ground fault sensing module that will trip if either the light kit or
fountain has a ground fault. To reset the module, simply press the reset button in the panel. This will turn the fountain and light
kit back on if the timers are set to on! If it trips again, disconnect the light kit from the terminals and reset.
WARNING!
You
must turn off power to the panel before disconnecting any wiring from the terminals! If the GFI module trips with the light kit
disconnected, then disconnect the fountain as well and reset. If the GFI module continues to trip it may be a defective module
