Likely Remedy
Power is off or disconnected
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 fountian.
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.
Timer not 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 swith. 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.
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 or an internal wiring issue with the panel. If the module resets, then reconnect the
fountain then the light kit to see which one trips the module.
Light work. However,
they are not as bright as
when first installed.
Dirty lenses
Turn of power to the control panel and disconnect power cords to the fountain and the light kit.
Bring the fountain to the shore and inspect the light lenses. Over time, algae growth and hard water
deposits on the lenses can block light output. Clean the lenses with a soft brush and the light should
be bright again.
Not dark enough for photo
eye to activate
Light kit is installed and
wired, but will not turn
on.
GFCI is tripped
