Brine flow sensor fault detected. 
Possible sensor failure. By-pass to 
continue. 

The brine water flow meter is no longer sending signals 
into  the controller. The sensor could be unplugged, a 
wiring  fault  may  exist,  or  the  sensor  itself  may  have 
failed. Automatic operation is not available. The sensor 
must  be  fixed  or  replaced  before  Automatic  mode  is 
available. If an emergency exists, the system can still be 
run in automatic mode by activating the sensor by-pass 
function. Please contact your dealer for help. 

12 

High pressure pump inlet pressure 
low. Please check filtration for high 
fouling. 

Inlet  pressure  to  the  high-pressure  pump  fell  below 
minimum  allowable  set-points.  This  is  usually 
attributed to booster pump cavitation (air in the feed 
line), a filter is clogged, or a large system leak. Check 
your system for leaks, and check feed lines for possible 
air  vacuum  leak.  If  none  of  these  conditions  exist, 
change your filtration elements and attempt to re-start 
the system again.  

13 

High pressure pump inlet pressure 
high. Pump damage can occur if 
started. 

Inlet  pressure  to  the  high-pressure  pump  is  above 
maximum  allowable  set-points.  This  is  usually 
attributed to feed line over pressurization, check your 
incoming  feed  water  line  for  malfunction  of  any 
boosting  devices  installed,  and  finally  check  rotation 
direction of the high pressure pump itself. If incorrect 
rotation is present this can cause over pressurization of 
the feed line. Lastly check that any high-pressure check 
valves installed are functioning correctly. 

14 

HP pump inlet sensor in by-pass & 
HP pump outlet pressure low. 
Possible cavitation 

The system was operating with the high-pressure pump 
inlet  sensor  in  bypass  mode.  During  operation,  the 
high-pressure  pump  achieved  minimum  allowable 
outlet  pressure,  but  then  outlet  pressure  dropped 
below the low set point. This is a good indication to the 
controller  that  pump  cavitation  was  occurring.  The 
system was stopped to protect the pump from damage. 
Follow the items listed in fault description 12 above, to 
locate  the  possible  reason  for  this  pump  inlet 
cavitation. 

15 

HP pump inlet sensor & HP pump 
outlet sensor in by-pass. Operation 
not possible. 

The  user  has  requested  that  both  the  inlet  pressure 
transducer and outlet pressure transducer of the high-
pressure  pump  be  set  into  bypass.  Requests  for  this 
state  are  usually  not  permitted  by  the  bypass  screen 
manager.  However,  if  for  some  reason  these  settings 
have  been  allowed,  the  unit  will  fail  an  automatic 
startup  attempt  as  with  both  sensors  bypassed,  it  is 
impossible to apply any protective measures to ensure 
high pressure pump failsafe operation. Deactivate one 
of  these sensor  bypasses  to  continue.  If  both  sensors 
are malfunctioning, the unit cannot be run until at least 
one sensor is fixed or replaced.
