How to fix a cooling fan fault on a Grundfos Water Pump (IP66 only)?
If your Grundfos Water Pump (IP66 only) reports a cooling fan fault, check and replace the cooling fan.
Why is there an under voltage on the DC bus of my Grundfos MP 1 / Redi-Flo2 Water Pump?
If your Grundfos Water Pump shows an under voltage on the DC bus, it could be due to a low incoming supply voltage. This often happens when the power is disconnected. However, if it occurs while running, check the incoming power supply voltage and all components in the power feed line to the drive.
What causes an output over current in a Grundfos MP 1 / Redi-Flo2?
If your Grundfos Water Pump displays an output over current error, it indicates an instantaneous over current on the drive output, often caused by excess load or shock load on the motor.
What does motor thermal overload (I2t) mean on a Grundfos Water Pump?
If the Grundfos Water Pump drive reports a motor thermal overload, it means the drive has been delivering more than 100% of the value in P-08* for an extended period to protect the motor from damage.
How to fix an autotune fault on a Grundfos Water Pump?
If your Grundfos Water Pump indicates an autotune fault, check the motor cable and connections for continuity. Also, ensure all three phases of the motor are present and balanced, as the motor parameters measured through the autotune may not be correct.
What to do if Grundfos MP 1 / Redi-Flo2 Water Pump shows 4-20mA Signal Lost?
Check the analog input connection(s).
How to troubleshoot faulty thermistor on heatsink in Grundfos MP 1 / Redi-Flo2 Water Pump?
If your Grundfos Water Pump displays a faulty thermistor on heatsink error, check the analog input connection(s).
What to do if Grundfos Water Pump displays internal memory fault (IO)?
Press the stop key. If the fault persists, consult you supplier.
How to fix brake channel over current in Grundfos Water Pump?
If your Grundfos Water Pump displays a brake channel over current error, check the condition and connection wiring of the external brake resistor.
How to troubleshoot Modbus comms loss fault in Grundfos MP 1 / Redi-Flo2 Water Pump?
If your Grundfos Water Pump shows a Modbus comms loss fault, check the incoming Modbus RTU connection cable. Ensure that at least one register is being polled cyclically within the timeout limit set in P-36 Index 3*.
