One yellow indicator light permanently 
on.
High motor temperature (65, 66)
The motor temperature is too high. a) Check that the ambient temperature is within 
the specified range.
b) Check that the pump is not covered by dust, dirt 
or other foreign matter which reduces the air 
cooling of the pump.
c) If none of the above causes are present, 
replace the motor.
Internal communication fault (76)
Communication fault between different 
parts of the electronics.
a) Replace the terminal box.
Soft pressure buildup, timeout (215)
The system has been in the mode "soft 
pressure buildup" longer than the set time 
limit.
a) Check the system for leakages.
One yellow indicator light rotating in 
the direction of rotation of the motor 
when seen from the non-drive end.
Replace the motor bearings (30)
The bearings must be replaced. a) Follow the instructions for the pump. See 
section 7.12 Replacing the bearings (MGE 100 
and below).
Internal sensor fault (88)
The pump is receiving a signal from the 
internal sensor which is outside the 
normal range.
a) Check that the plug and cable are connected 
correctly to the sensor. The sensor is on the 
back of the pump housing.
b) Replace the sensor.
Pt100/1000 sensor 1 (91) and 2 (175)
Pt100/1000 input 1 is receiving a signal 
which is outside the normal range.
a) Check that the sensor resistance corresponds 
to approximately 100 or 1000 ohm. If not, 
replace the sensor.
b) Check the sensor cable for damage.
c) Check the cable connection at the pump and at 
the sensor. Correct the connection, if required.
d) Replace the sensor.
Supply fault, 5 V (161)
Fault in the output voltage to sensor or 
potentiometer.
a) Check the output voltage and wire to sensor or 
potentiometer.
Supply fault, 24 V (162)
Fault in the output voltage. a) Check the output voltage and wire.
Signal fault, LiqTec-sensor (164)
The pump is receiving a signal from the 
LiqTec sensor which is outside the normal 
range.
a) Check that the plug and cable are connected 
correctly to the sensor.
b) Replace the sensor.
Signal fault, sensor 1 (165), 2 (166) and 3 (167)
Analog input 1, 2 or 3 is receiving a signal 
which is outside the normal range.
a) Check that the setup of the analog input 
corresponds to the sensor output as regards 
electrical characteristics (0.5 - 3.5 V, 0-5 V, 0-10 
V, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA). If not, change the 
setting, or replace the sensor with one that 
matches the setup.
b) Check the sensor cable for damage.
c) Check the cable connection at the pump and at 
the sensor. Correct the connection, if required.
d) Check if the sensor has been removed, but the 
input was not deactivated.
e) Replace the sensor.
Limit 1 exceeded (190) and limit 2 exceeded (191)
Limit 1 or 2 has reached the limit for 
warning/alarm.
a) Identify and remove the fault cause.
