Alarms And Warnings - Pentair STA-RITE INTELLIFLO3 VSF User Manual

Alarms and Warnings
When an alarm is triggered the drive's ON/STOP LED will blink RED and a fault code will display. The pump will stop
until the alarm is resolved.
When a Warning is triggered the drive's ON/STOP LED will blink GREEN/YELLOW and a fault coded will display.
Depending on your particular setup, fault codes will display on one or more of the user interfaces:
• Pentair Home App
• Automation System Interface
• Optional Touchscreen Controller (Almond - P/N 356159z, Black - P/N 356348z)

DEFINITION
Pump antenna may be obstructed or too far away from your router. The antenna wire can
be extended.
Refer to the IntelliFlo3 VSF Installation and Maintenance Guide (P/N 356231) for
instructions.
The Pentair cloud cannot connect to your pump.
This could be caused by a power outage at the pump or router, or a loss of WiFi signal to
the pump.
Priming failure can be caused by lack of water in the volute strainer basket.
The pump motor has detected an abnormally high internal temperature. This can be
caused by a blockage of the cooling fan inlet or outlet, or by excessively high ambient air
temperature.
The pump will attempt to protect itself by reducing the motor speed to give the motor and
drive a chance to cool down.
Load has increased on the motor; due to debris, part interference, temperature issues, age
of parts, or supplied voltage.
Inspect the rotating parts of the pump for blockages or debris buildup.
Refer to the pump IntelliFlo3 VSF Installation and Maintenance Guide (P/N 356231) for
disassembly and reassembly instructions.
Supplied voltage is outside of the proper range. When voltage returns to the normal the
alert will clear and the pump will resume operation.
Supplied voltage is outside of the proper range. When voltage returns to the normal the
alert will clear and the pump will resume operation.
The pump is operating at the programmed maximum speed in order to achieve the desired
speed/flow.
Refer to Limits Parameters on page 8 for instructions on adjusting the Speed Limit.
If this alert displays and the Speed Limit is already set to 100%, then the pump may not be
capable of achieving the desired flow rate.
The pump is operating at the programmed maximum system pressure.
The pump monitors Total Dynamic Head, and not outlet pressure, so it may differ from the
reading on the filter gauge.
Refer to Limits Parameters on page 8 for instructions on adjusting the pump Pressure
Limit.
The pump is operating at the programmed maximum flow rate.
Refer to Limits Parameters on page 8 for instructions on adjusting the pump Flow Limit.
This alert can be caused by a few different types of internal hardware or software errors in
the drive.
Disconnect power to the pump and reconnect after one minute. If the alert remains,
contact a qualified pool professional.
This alert usually accompanies an Overheat or Over Current alert.
It is intended to note that the pump will continue to operate at a reduced speed as long as
possible.
After the drive has cooled enough it will automatically resume normal operation.
The motor and drive are not able to reduce speed enough to protect themselves.
The motor will stop and Pentair Home will display this alarm.
When the drive has cooled enough, it will automatically resume operation and attempt to
run the requested program.
The pump is operating in Thermal mode. Thermal Mode is controlled by the drive's internal
temperature, not water temperature.
This is intended to keep motor components from freezing, but should not be solely
relied on for full filtration system freeze protection.
