ELECTRONIC TROUBLESHOOTING 
 
 

 

When pressing start button the system will not start 

 
Check that the by-pass is not switched on (bypass switch turned anticlockwise) and that at least 
one pump is activated (switch PUMP1 or PUMP2 turned on). 
 
If the system still fails to start... 
 
Check  that  electric  cables    are  properly  connected,  follow  the  wiring  scheme  indicated  in  the 
manual and that the main automatic circuit breaker is in place. 
 
 If the system still fails to start... 
 
Check with a tester, the 12/24 VDC electrics box power supply, between   and - . 
 
If the system still fails to start... 
 
Turn off both pump 1 and pump 2 selectors (vertical position). Push  START. 
 
If the green pilot light turn on and, after 20 seconds the system shutdown (because the pumps are 
not connected) the problem is due to low battery voltage. 
 
If  the  system  still  doesn’t  start  check  all  electric  wiring,  electrical  connections  box,  pre-wired 
cable remote panel for fault. Replace as required. 
 

 

When pressing  START the system starts, but shuts down after 20 seconds. 

 
Check  for  a  hydraulic  block.  (the  pressure  on  the  manometer  will  be  greater  than  8  bar  and 
pumps are shut down) . In this case perform the reset procedure and restart the system. (Page 16) 
 
If a hydraulic block has not occurred, the most probable cause of the fault is a malfunction of  the 
pressure switch.  
 
The pressure switch can be tested with following procedure: 
1.

 

Disconnect the pressure switch cables (clamps 5 + ).  

2.

 

Activate the by-pass and start the system in manual mode. 

3.

 

Check  with  a  tester  in  ohm  position  the  functioning  of  the  pressure  switch.  In  normal 
conditions the pressure switch closes and opens the circuit each 3-4 seconds. 

4.

 

If  the  pressure  switch  remains  either  closed  or  open  during  the  functioning  of  the 
watermaker, the switch is faulty and must be replaced.
