of  the  numbered  terminals,  and  power  up  the  controller  to  test  the  pump  direction.    If  no  water  is 
pumped, or if there is suction on the outlet pipe (this only applies to helical rotor pumps—centrifugal 
pumps will produce about ¼

th

 flow rate), turn off the power and switch any two of the three pump 

cable wires.  This will reverse the pump rotation.  Turn the pump back on, and confirm water flows 
at the proper rate from the pipe.  If no water flows after switching two wires, turn the power off and 
contact either your Authorized SunRotor

controller  terminals.    Ensure  the  solar  array  wiring  configuration  and  voltage  before  attaching  the 
connectors  (See

 

Figure  5-3  Solar  Panel  Wiring  Diagram

ESTING

 

The following tests are recommended after completing the installation. 

To  test the  low  water sensor,  disconnect  one  wire  to open  the  circuit.    Since  it  is  a  normally  closed 
switch, removing one  end of  the sensor cable or jumper  will trigger the circuit  logic to turn off the 
pump.  To test the timer function, set the timer to a low setting: somewhere between 0 and 5 (around 
2  ½  minutes).    Disconnect  the  cable  and  wait  for  the  pump  to  turn  off.    After  the  pump  stops, 
reconnect the cable.  The pump should automatically turn back on after the specified time has passed. 

Most  tank  full  float  switches  are  normally  open.    To  test  it,  jumper  between  the  two  tank  full 
terminals.    This  will  create  a  closed  circuit,  and  the  pump  should  turn  off.    Once  the  jumper  is 
removed, the pump will restart. 

If  these  tests  do  not  produce  the  same  results,  see 

Section  10  Troubleshooting

Most problems are caused by incorrect connections (in a new installation) or bad splices on the pump 
cable  or  low  water  sensor.    The 

SYSTEM

  light  will  indicate  that  the  system  is  switched  on.    It 

indicates that 

VOLTAGE

 is present, but there may not be sufficient power to start the pump. 

System appears dead, no lights showing on the controller: 

1.

 

Is there a disconnect switch or circuit breaker installed on the solar array circuit? Is it off? 

2.

 

Look for disconnected or damaged wires. 

3.

 

Is there any dust or debris on your solar array?
