DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODES
NUMBER OF
FLASHES

FAULT

-

- Low line voltage
- Misconnected input leads

- Line voltage low, less than approximately 150 VAC (normal operating range = 190 to 260 VAC)
- Check incoming power connections and correct or tighten if necessary
- Correct incoming voltage - check circuit breaker or fuses, contact power company

- Motor and/or pump misalignment
- Dragging motor and/or pump
- Abrasives in pump

- Amperage above SFL at 10 Hz
- Remove and repair or replace as required

- MonoDrive only
- Wrong resistance values on main and start

- Wrong resistance on DC test at start
- Check wiring, check motor size and DIP switch setting, adjust or repair as needed

OPEN
CIRCUIT

- Loose connection
- Defective motor or drop cable
- Wrong motor

- Open reading on DC test at start.
- Check drop cable and motor resistance, tighten output connections, repair or replace as necessary, use “dry”
motor to check drive functions, if drive will not run and exhibits underload fault replace drive

SHORT
CIRCUIT

- When fault is indicated immediately after
power-up, short circuit due to loose connection,
defective cable, splice or motor

- Amperage exceeded 50 amps on DC test at start or SF amps during running
- Incorrect output wiring, phase to phase short, phase to ground short in wiring or motor
- If fault is present after resetting and removing motor leads, replace drive

- When fault is indicated while motor is running,
over current due to loose debris trapped in pump

- Check pump

- High ambient temperature
- Direct sunlight
- Obstruction of airflow

- Drive heat sink has exceeded max rated temperature, needs to drop below 85 °C to restart
- Fan blocked or inoperable, ambient above 125 °F, direct sunlight, air flow blocked
- Replace fan or relocate drive as neccessary

- Improper pre-charge
- Vavle closing too fast
- Pressure setting too close to relief valve rating

- Reset the pre-charge pressure to 70% of sensor setting. Reduce pressure setting well below relief valve rating.
Use next size larger pressure tank.
- Verify valve operation is within manufacturer’s specifications.
- Reduce system pressure setting to a value less than pressure relief rating.

- A fault was found internal to drive

CORRECTIVE ACTION

- Blocked screen, worn pump
- Air/gas locked pump
- SubDrive not set properly for pump end

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Frequency near maximum with less than 65% of expected load, 42% if DIP #3 is “on”
System is drawing down to pump inlet (out of water)
High static, light loading pump - reset DIP switch #3 to “on” for less sensitivity if not out of water
Check pump rotation (SubDrive only) reconnect if necessary for proper rotation
Air/gas locked pump - if possible, set deeper in well to reduce
Verify DIP switches are set properly

INTERNAL FAULT

Power down, disconnect leads to the motor and power up the SubDrive:
- If the SubDrive does not give an “open phase” fault (5 flashes every 2 seconds), then there is a problem with the SubDrive.
- Connect the SubDrive to a dry motor. If the motor goes through DC test and gives “underload” fault (1 flash every 2 seconds), the SubDrive is working properly.

CONDITION

INDICATOR LIGHTS
NONE

POSSIBLE CAUSE
- No supply voltage present

- If correct voltage is present, replace drive

- Pressure sensor circuit

-

- Power surge, bad component

- Power system down to clear fault, verify voltage, if repetitive, replace drive

SOLID GREEN

AND GREEN
FLASHING RED

- Fault detected

- Proceed to fault code description and remedy
-

Frequency max, amps low, check for closed valve, or stuck check valve
Frequency max, amps high, check for hole in pipe
Frequency max, amps erratic, check pump operation, dragging impellers
This is not a drive problem
Check all connections
Disconnect power and allow well to recover for short time, then retry
Correct pressure and placement as necessary
Tank may be too small for system flow
This is not a drive problem
Disconnect power and check pressure gauge for pressure drop
Set deeper in the well or tank; install a flow sleeve with airtight seal around drop pipe and cable
If fluctuation is only on branches before sensor, flip DIP switch #4 to “on” (07C and newer)

- Loose switch or cable connection
- Gulping water at pump inlet

FLASHING GREEN

FLASHING GREEN

RUNS BUT TRIPS

FLASHING RED

-

Pressure sensor placement and setting
Pressure gauge placement
Pressure tank size and pre-charge
Leak in system
Air entrainment into pump intake
(lack of submergence)

-

-

Pressure sensor placement and setting
Tank pre-charge pressure
Impeller damage
Leaky system
Sized improperly (pump can’t build enough head)

- Check frequency at low flows, pressure setting may be too close to pump max head
- Verify precharge at 70% if tank size is larger than minimum, increase precharge (up to 85%)
- Verify that the system will build and hold pressure

- Check fault code and see corrective action

- Proceed to fault code description and remedy on reverse side
- Adjust pressure sensor, check pump rotation
- Check frequency at max flow, check max pressure

LOW PRESSURE

FLASHING GREEN

- Pressure sensor setting, pump rotation,
pump sizing

HIGH PRESSURE

FLASHING GREEN

- Pressure sensor setting
- Shorted sensor wire

- Adjust pressure sensor
- Remove sensor wire at PCB, if drive continues to run, replace drive
- Verify condition of sensor wire and repair or replace if necessary

- Fan, hydraulic, plumbing

-

- Ribbon cable detached from LED printed
circuit board

- Reattach cable - if cable is attached, replace drive

RFI-EMI INTERFERENCE

FLASHING GREEN

M1567 07-09

Verify water pressure is below system set point
Jumper wires together at pressure sensor, if pump starts, replace sensor
If pump doesn’t start, check sensor connection at printed circuit board (PCB), if loose, repair
If pump doesn’t start, jumper sensor connection at PCB, if pump starts, replace wire
If pump doesn’t start with sensor PCB connection jumpered, replace drive

- Drive and motor are operating

FLASHING GREEN

FLUCTUATIONS
(POOR REGULATION)

CORRECTIVE ACTION

- See interference troubleshooting procedure

For excessive fan noise, replace fan
If fan noise is normal, drive will need to be relocated to a more remote area
If hydraulic, try raising or lowering depth of pump
Pressure tank location should be at entrance of water line into house
