9. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
1. The filter does not start
despite the water level in
the drum having reached
the level sensor.
A. The water has low conductivity.
A. Increase the sensitivity by tur-
ning the selector for the level re-
lay towards MAX. If this does not
help, you can change the sensitivity
range to a more sensitive setting
(see 6.2.6).
B. The sensor is not correctly earthed.
For detection, the sensor’s lower sec-
tion must have electrical contact with
the filter frame via the water. A cable
from the level relay is connected to the
filter frame.
B. Check that all cables are free from
damage and the screw threaded
into the filter frame for tightness.
C. The level relay is defective. The red
LED on the level relay should light for as
long as the water is in contact with the
sensor. The green LED should always be
on (when the relay is powered).
C. Replace the defective level relay.
D. The FILL/EMPTY selector is in the FILL
position.
D. Set the selector to the EMPTY po-
sition.
2. The filter does not stop
after the time set on the
time relay.
A. There is permanent contact between
the level sensor and the filter tank/fra-
me.
A. Remove anything that could cre-
ate contact between the sensor and
the filter tank/frame, e.g. biological
growth.
B. The level relay is set to excessively
high sensitivity.
B. Reduce the level sensor’s sen-
sitivity by setting the level relay
towards MIN sensitivity. If this is
not enough, switch to a lower sen-
sitivity range (see 6.2.6).
C. The time relay is defective. When the
red LED on the level relay is on, the red
LED on the time relay should also be
on for as long as the water is in con-
tact with the level sensor, plus the time
set on the time relay. The green LED
should always be on (when the relay is
powered).
C. Replace the defective time relay.
D. The level relay is defective. The red
LED does not turn off when the water
level drops below the sensor’s level.
D. Replace the defective level relay.
