DOC No: 8540 REV D
Fault Isolation
MOTOR WILL NOT OPERATE
Cause Remedy
No power to motor. Ensure proper voltage has been applied to motor power leads.
Check leads to ensure no short circuits are present.
Control Input lead is shorted. Clear and isolate Control Input lead from Tachometer Out lead. Clear and
isolate Control Input lead from Common lead.
No Control Input applied. Ensure proper control input is applied to control Input lead: for 0-5V ensure line
is not shorted. If manual control EagleDrive, adjust potentiometer to increase
control voltage. Ensure control power supply common is connected to the
common lead.
Thermal Limit is active. Turn off motor and wait for temperature to cool. NOTE: If power voltage and
control signals are present, motor will automatically restart when temperature is
reached. Reduce motor load conditions and/or improve cooling of motor hous-
ing if persistent limit occurs.
Motor has been damaged. Contact your Micropump Distributor or contact Micropump directly for
replacement product.

Pump is worn. Replace or repair pump.
Tachometer Out lead is shorted
to FWD/REV lead.
Clear and isolate Tachometer Out lead from FWD/REV lead.
NO TACHOMETER SIGNAL
Cause Remedy
No power to motor. Ensure proper voltage has been applied to motor power leads.
Check leads to ensure no short circuits are present.
Improper wiring. Check that the Tachometer Out lead is connected to the positive input of the
frequency counter.
Check that the common lead of the frequency counter is connected to the motor
Common lead.
Check leads to ensure no short circuits are present.
Motor is stopped. Ensure proper voltage has been applied to motor power leads Ensure proper
control input is applied to Control Input lead.
Ensure control power supply common is connected to the Common lead.
MOTOR RUNS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
Cause Remedy
FWD/REV lead is shorted to
Common lead.
Clear and isolate FWD/REV lead from Common lead or shield. Check leads to
ensure no short circuits are present.
Execution of troubleshooting steps, determination of root cause and
corrective actions should be performed by a skilled maintenance person.
