Description
Wrong connection between the pump and the
controller.
The interlock signal of J1 connector is
activated by an interruption of the link
between pin 3 and 9 or between pin 4 and
15 of P1 connector, or because the external
interlock signal is open.
The pump upper bearing temperature
exceeded 60 °C.
The controller internal temperature

During normal functioning (after the start-up

A failure has occurred in the controller
power supply section, or the controller has
