Troubleshooting

Pump station troubleshooting

DANGER:
• Personal injury hazard. Troubleshooting a live control panel exposes personnel to

hazardous voltages. Electrical troubleshooting must be done by a qualified electrician.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious personal injury, death, and/or
property damage.

• Electrical hazard sufficient to kill. Always disconnect and lock out the power before you

service the unit.

WARNING:
Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all
international, national, state, and local rules.

Note that some troubleshooting procedures apply to only constant speed systems or only
variable speed systems.

The pump station does not power up

Cause

Remedy

The site voltage does not match the pump station

voltage.

Make sure that the site voltage matches the pump station

design voltage.

Line-to-line voltage is not balanced.

Check incoming voltage and amperage. Line-to-line

voltage should be balanced. Line-to-ground voltage

should also be balanced.

The power fuses are blown or breakers are tripped.

Check power fuses and breakers. Breakers are shipped in

the OFF position. Replace blown fuses.

The pump station is not properly grounded (earthed).

Check that proper grounding (earthing) techniques have

been used for the pump station.
