Status Light

SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION
WARNING
HAZARD
Status light is NOT a voltage indicator.
Hazardous voltage may be present when
light is off.
A status light shines through a small window in the cover to
indicate system status. This status light will be green, red,
or off. The color and flashing of the light is interpreted
using the following table. This information is also on the
controller label on the front cover.

Green Blinking

Purging System

Open a valve and turn power on to the controller. The
status light should begin blinking green immediately
indicating the pump is running. It is common for the pump
to be air bound at first, especially with shallow wells. In this
case, a dry well error (single red flash) will occur within a
few seconds. If it is certain that the pump is submerged
reset the error by turning the power off for a minute (status
light goes off when the system is reset) and then back on.
You may need to try restarting the system this way 2-3
times before pump primes. Once the water is flowing, open
all valves to purge all air from the system.

Checking Rotation

It's possible the motor is rotating in the wrong direction.
The pump will work but will have greatly reduced
performance if rotating backwards. To check rotation,
perform the following test.
Connect an amp probe to one of the power supply wires.
Run the system with several valves open and note the
pressure and amps. Leave the valves open, turn the power
off, and wait 5 minutes for the hazardous voltages to
discharge.
Swap wires on motor leads T1 and T2 of the controller
terminal block.
Turn power back on and let the system pressure stabilize.
Again note the pressure and amps. Whichever wire position
provided the most pressure/flow is the correct wire
position. If there was little difference in the pressure/flow,
then whichever had the lower amp reading is the correct
wire position.
Turn the power off, wait 5 minutes and swap the wires
back if necessary.
Replace the plastic protective cover on the terminal block.

Setting System Pressure

System pressure can be adjusted anywhere between 20 and
70 PSI. To adjust system pressure, the pump must be
running. Open a valve and then press and hold the increase
or decrease pushbutton as necessary until the desired
pressure is displayed on the pressure gauge. To save the
pressure setting, the system must go into standby mode.
Close all valves and allow pump to stop (light green and
not blinking). The new pressure setting is now recorded.

Checking for leaks

Constant pressure systems utilizing small tanks run
whenever there is demand. Even small leaks can prevent a
pump from turning off. To check for leaks, close all valves,
turn power off to the controller, and note the pressure
displayed on the pressure gauge. Tap the gauge to ensure
you get an accurate reading.
Wait ten minutes and check the gauge again tapping to
prevent the needle from sticking. If the pressure dropped
then the system may have a leak*.
*If a system is pressurized after having been un-pressurized,
it will continue to expand for several minutes. This
expansion causes the pressure to drop and can be
misinterpreted as a leak. Allow a system to stabilize for 10
minutes under pressure before performing the
aforementioned leak test.

The status light described in Section 3 Start-Up is used to
indicate system status i.e. running, stopped, or faulted.
When faulted, the status light will be red. The error code is
the number of quick flashes followed by a 1 second pause.
The number of flashes can be any number from 1 to 9. The
error code will be repeated until cleared. Some errors will
clear themselves with time. Others must be cleared
manually by turning the power off for 1 minute. Table 3
Describes the various errors that can occur.
