Fault visualization on the motor controller
(for pumps with brushless DC motor)
The excess of the overcurrent limit, the excess of the maximum
temperature of the motor board or the blocking of the rotor is
shown as a fault. A red LED on the BLDC motor controller signals
the cause of fault.
Optional setting:
If desired, the motor controller can be programmed so that the
error output voltage exhibits the same characteristics as the LED.
With factory settings, only 1 or 0 are logically outputted as voltage
at the fault output.

To delete the error condition the motor has to be disconnected
from the mains.
Fault cannot be rectified
