TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Possible Causes
Solutions
Alarm light and/or
buzzer is activated
Blower switch is OFF
Turn blower switch ON. For breaker switch found on the small
control panel, verify breaker does not trip.
Blower current is below minimum.
Check blower wiring and operation. If blower is not running,
thermal overload switch in motor may have tripped, or motor is
nonfunctioning. Allow motor to cool to reset thermal switch.
In small control panels, check blower fuse.
In large control panels with contactor and overload, check if the
overload is tripped.
Blower current is above normal.
Verify amp draw of motor against nameplate full load amps. If
blower is running above normal amp draw or FLA, check possible
causes including high water level and air pipe blockage.
UV circuit failure (small control
panels only)
Check UV fuse in control panel and UV ballast, as well as bulb
condition. If UV is not used, verify UV current sensor jumper is in
OFF position.
External input dry contact is closed Check if an optional external input such as a float switch is
activated.
Circuit board failure
Contact a BioMicrobics technical service representative.
High water level in
FAST® tank
The FAST® tank is flooded.
Determine cause of flooding (e.g., line obstruction, lateral
field/pump failure, high flows, etc.)
Blower motor is
making a loud
whining or grinding
noise
Blower motor bearing has failed.
Remove blower and have blower motor serviced.
A foreign object has entered
blower housing.
Remove blower for service and check condition of air filter.
Water in the blower
Water has entered the blower
housing.
The blower should be located in an area where water does not
accumulate. It must be located at least two feet above the treated
water outlet pipe from the FAST® system.
Blower motor is wired backwards,
pulling water into blower from
treatment tank.
Correct the motor wiring for proper rotation. Allow blower to dry.
Unpleasant odor
emanating from the
FAST unit
The blower and air piping are not
operating correctly.
Check the blower, vents, and air piping for proper operation. Make
sure the vents have sufficient openings for air to escape.
The system is overloaded.
Check the maximum flow rate to the FAST unit to see that it is
within normal limits.
Blower recently started after
period of no use.
Septic odors may be present for several hours when starting a
blower after the system is idle for long periods of time, such as in
seasonal use properties.
