FAULT DIAGNOSIS

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION 

13

The Mikrofill 3 has a full self-diagnostic microprocessor unit which continually self-checks its operation. If an 

internal fault is diagnosed then this will be displayed on the screen in place of the usual status display 

(described on 

page 10

). The message displayed will directly relate to the issue that the unit has registered and 

will aid in resolving the fault.

If you continue to experience a fault, or are having difficulty in diagnosing the specific cause, then please 

contact our technical department on 

03452 60 60 20

 for further assistance.

STATUS / FAULT CONDITIONS

continued on page 14...

CAUSE

The system pressure is not 

rising due to a leak.

The unit is going to fault 

when trying to fill due to low 

incoming water pressure.

Low system pressure.

Low incoming water 

pressure.

Blocked inlet ballofix valve 

filter.

Possible persistent leak on 

the system.

High system pressure.

Possible damaged sensor.

RESOLUTION

The unit has been filling the system for longer than the Level 

1 Leak Alert Time set in 

SERVICE MODE

. The system should be 

checked for leaks. To reinstate the unit, power it off and 

back on again.

The unit has been trying to fill the system but has been 

unable to due to a lack of mains water pressure, causing 

the unit to go to fault for the duration of the Level 1 Leak 

Alert Time. Check the incoming mains pressure when the 

unit is filling (see also “

FILLING STOPPED DUE TO LOW MAINS 

WATER PRESSURE

”).

The system pressure has dropped below the Alarm Low 

setting. Check for leaks and that the Alarm Low has not 

been set incorrectly (refer to 

page 12

). To reinstate the unit, 

power it off and back on again.

The unit requires a dynamic mains pressure of 0.3 bar or 

more above its cold fill setting. If the mains pressure usually 

satisfies this requirement, then the cause of the mains 

pressure drop should be investigated.

The filter in the included mains inlet ballofix valve should be 

removed and cleaned to ensure flow into the unit is not 

being restricted (see 

page 17

 for details).

If the unit operates more than the Frequent Use set point 

during a 24-hour period this message will be displayed. This 

will not stop the unit from operating or trigger the BMS fault 

relays but it does indicate that there may be a small leak on 

the system which should be investigated. To reinstate the 

unit, power it off and back on again.

The system pressure has exceeded the Alarm High setting. 

Drain down and check the air charge of any expansion 

vessels on the system. Confirm the diaphragm is still intact 

and check that the vessel is adequately sized. Also check 

the Alarm High has not been set incorrectly (refer to 

page 

12

). This fault will automatically reset when the pressure 

drops back down below the Alarm High setpoint.

Power the unit off and back on, and the unit will return to 

normal operation. If the unit displays a ‘#’ in the corner of 

the display then this indicates that there is still a possible 

fault. After 10 minutes the unit will recheck the sensors and 

return to displaying “

SENSOR FAILURE

” if the issue still 

remains. 

Obtain the calibration code for the sensors (as outlined on 

page 10

) and then contact our technical department on 

03452 60 60 20

 and we will be able to confirm if this is a 

genuine sensor fault.
