What to do if my Pentair DC Drives show Over Current?
If your Pentair DC Drives display an over current error, it could be due to a shorted output. Check the motor cables for any shorts. It may also be caused by damaged wire insulation, in which case you should check the motor wire insulation with a megger.
What to do if my Pentair Pentek Intellidrive display Over Voltage?
If your Pentair DC Drives show an over voltage error, it could be due to an internal drive short. With the power to the drive off, measure the outputs with an ohmmeter to detect a short. Another possible cause is power cycling on and off, so check for a generator or switching on the input line. It can also be caused by high line voltage, so measure the incoming line voltage to the drive, which should be between 190V and 265V.
What to do if my Pentair DC Drives show Ground Fault?
If your Pentair DC Drives indicate a ground fault, it may be due to the ground wire shorted to the motor phase. Check the ground wire for a short to the motor phase wire, or check the insulation integrity with a megger. Another possible cause is a long motor cable length; it's not recommended to use a motor cable longer than 1000 ft.
Why Pentair Pentek Intellidrive cannot start motor?
If your Pentair DC Drives fail to start the motor, it could be due to several reasons: * Exceeding Service Factor Amps: Check that the entered Service Factor Amps are correct. * No Service Factor Amps value entered: Verify that the Service Factor Amps are entered and correct. * Open connection in motor wires: Ensure the resistance of all motor wires is correct. * Locked rotor: Pull the pump and check for debris.
What to do if my Pentair DC Drives show Dry Run?
If your Pentair DC Drives display a dry run error, it could be due to: * Operation at open discharge: Reduce Dry Run Sensitivity pressure or apply back pressure on transducer. * Possible leak: Check for a pipe break or large leak. * Dry running pump: Check the water level in the well.
What to do if my Pentair Pentek Intellidrive show Over Temperature?
If your Pentair DC Drives display an over temperature warning, it could be due to: * Excessive heating in drive: Ensure the ambient temperature is not above 50°C (122°F). * Inoperable or obstructed fan: Check the fan for proper operation and ensure it is not obstructed. * Obstructed vents: Verify that the vents are not blocked.
What does it mean when Pentair Pentek Intellidrive DC Drives show Open Transducer?
If your Pentair DC Drives display an open transducer error, it could be due to: * Intermittent connection: Check all transducer wires are securely connected and inspect cable insulation for damage. * Open Connection: Check for proper wiring of all transducer wires and verify cable connector securely attached to transducer. * Transducer wires crossed: Check red is in AI+ and black is in AI-.
What to do if my Pentair Pentek Intellidrive show Excessive Runtime?
If your Pentair DC Drives display an excessive runtime warning, it could be due to: * Leak detected: Check for leaks in the pipe system. * Application calls for long run times: Extend the Excessive Runtime Hours limitation. * Disable Excessive Runtime Fault: Disable the Excessive Runtime Fault.
What does it mean when Pentair DC Drives show Low Amps?
If your Pentair DC Drives display a low amps error, it could be due to: * Under-sized pump: Increase the Minimum Speed to 35 Hz. * Thermal protector open in 1-phase motor: Wait 20 minutes, then restart the pump. * Missing motor phase: Check all motor connections at the Drive.
What to do if my Pentair Pentek Intellidrive show Internal Fault?
If your Pentair DC Drives display an internal fault, it means that internal voltages are out of range. The drive will automatically reset and attempt to clear the fault. You can also press the Fault Reset button to clear the fault. After resetting, try to operate the pump. If the fault continues, the drive may need replacement.
