OFF Mode
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive toggle switch is in the OFF position.
Startup Mode
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive is in the process of starting the motor pump.
Running Mode
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive is running the motor pump.
Standby Mode
There is not enough power from the solar PV panels for
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive to start the motor.
Float Switch
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive is turned OFF as a result of input from one
Mode
or more external sensors that are connected to the digital input.
Over Temperature
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive stops operation when the temperature
Mode
inside the unit exceeds 80°C/176˚F.
Power Deration
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive still operates but with reduced power
Mode
throughput due to increased operating temperature, or if a load is
connected with current higher than Over-current Protection
DIP Switches 4 and 5.
Over-current
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive stops operation when it detects high current
Mode
on the motor terminals. This can also be due to a short circuit event if
the unit is mis-wired. Requires manual restart by cycling power to
the unit.
Open Circuit
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive will not start operation if the motor wiring
Mode
does not align with DIP switch configuration.
Dry Well
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive detects dry well condition, and ceases pump

operation, which is restored after 30 minutes. If dry well indication
appears faulty, check that
Over-current Protection
DIP Switches
4 and 5 are configured correctly.
