Power board
If the power board or the functional module is replaced, a functionality test must be performed to ensure that the Safe Torque Off (STO) function operates correctly and provides the required function. Check that the wiring complies with the wiring requirements.
Perform the following test to ensure that Safe Torque Off (STO) is functional:
If the motor does not stop, then most probably the wrong power board version has been fitted.
The STO signal allows the motor to run, and has a safe failure fraction of 1, meaning that any failure in the STO signal on the functional module results in a safe state and the motor cannot produce torque.
Back injury
Death or serious personal injury
Falling objects
Death or serious personal injury
Crushing of feet
Minor or moderate personal injury
The lifting brackets and/or eyebolts on the terminal box must only be used to lift the terminal box alone.
Always use an antistatic service kit when handling electronic components. This prevents static electricity from damaging components. When unprotected, the component must be placed on the antistatic cloth.

Procedure
The GO Link configuration must only be carried out by service technicians trained in the task and possessing at least Service Engineer level access.
Lubricate the bearings through the grease nipples with a grease dispenser and high-temperature grease as specified on the bearing nameplate. The display indicates the number of bearing relubrications that has been done since the last bearing replacement. For more information about the display, see the section on motor bearing monitoring.
The factory-set interval between relubrications is stated on the bearing nameplate placed on the motor. The relubrication interval can be changed by a Grundfos service technician.
It is possible to relubricate the bearings five times according to the preset interval. When the preset interval has been reached after the fifth relubrication, a warning will be given to replace the bearings.
In the case of seasonal operation (motor is idle for more than six months of the year), we recommend that you lubricate the motor bearings when you take it out of operation.
It is important to relubricate the bearings as specified on the motor nameplate with mechanical data. If this interval is not observed, the bearing life will be reduced.
Reduced lubricating interval
The lubricating interval must be reduced in these situations:
If the environments are both dusty and moist, multiply the factors.
Grease type and quantity
See the bearing nameplate.
Never mix grease with thickeners, such as lithium-based grease with polycarbamide-based grease.
Motor bearing monitoring
Use this function to select whether or not you want to monitor the motor bearings. You can make the following settings:
When the function is set to Active, a counter in the controller starts counting the running hours of the bearings. The running hours are calculated on the basis of the motor speed. When a predefined limit is reached, a warning indicates that the bearings must be replaced or relubricated.
If you change the function to Not active, the counter continues to count. However, no warning is given when it is time to replace the bearings. If you change the function to Active again, the accumulated running hours are used to recalculate the replacement time.
You can reset a fault indication in the following ways:
The fault cause will be stored in the pump alarm or warning log.
Fault indications via Grundfos Eye

Measuring equipment must be free of static electricity or have the same potential as the motor before being used for measurement without isolation cover.
The status diode of the functional module flashes 150 times/minute when the software is running correctly. See the figure below. The functional module can only function if the power board is in operation, as the power board supplies voltage to the functional module.
Status | Fault |
Permanently on | The microprocessor is frozen. The functional module is defective. |
Light off | The functional module is defective. |
Flashing 150 times/minute | The processor of the functional module is functional |
Status diode of functional module
If the light diode is flashing, the functional module is working correctly. The fault may then be in the operating panel. If the status diode of the functional module is off, check if the power board supplies voltage by measuring 8.5 VDC on the VFE plug connection between the functional module and the power board (J15). If no voltage is measured, the connection between the modules or the power board is defective. If the VFE voltage to the functional module is okay, check if the voltage between the reference point and the other measuring points is okay. The voltage values apply to an operating motor.
Measuring voltage on the functional module
Use a correctly calibrated measuring instrument.
To measure the voltage listed in the table below, you must use the same reference point (Ref.) seen on the figure above. Measure the DC voltage from, for example, "Ref." to "3". The measure should be between 14.5 and 15.7 V.
Pos. | Control voltage [VDC] | ||
Minimum | Nominal | Maximum | |
VFE (J15) | 8.5 | ||
1 | 4.8 | 5 | 5.2 |
2 | 3.2 | 3.3 | 3.4 |
3 | 14.5 | 15.1 | 15.7 |

Checking inputs and outputs
Make a copy of the motor settings.
Pt100/1000
Use a 100 Ω resistance and decide on the basis of the motor settings which value this resistance will show in the display when connected to the terminals instead of the Pt100/1000 sensor.
Analog input, AI
It is possible to measure on the analog input to determine if its function is correct.
During current state, a 292 Ω resistance in the input converts a current signal (e.g. 0-20 mA) from the sensor to a voltage signal for the processor. Measure the voltage across the input and read the current in the circuit by means of Grundfos GO or PC Tool. The current value must be equal to voltage divided with resistance. Alternatively, a milliammeter can be connected in series with the circuit.
Measuring on analog input
Next step is to test the input in voltage state. Change the setup of the input to voltage state (0-10 V). Fit a jumper between terminal 5 (+5 V) and the analog input. 5 V must now be read by means of the PC Tool.
Testing the input during voltage state
Change the setup of the input to current state and measure on the input using an ohmmeter. The resistance must be 292 Ω. In voltage state, the resistance is 122 kΩ.
Measuring resistance in current and voltage state
Analog output, AO
The analog input is protected against short circuit and will shut down the signal in case of short circuit. If you suspect a short circuit, remove the load and compare the value read via PC Tool with the value measured by means of the measuring instrument.
If the values are not identical, the module is defective.
Digital input, DI
See the settings of the input in PC Tool.
Connect the digital input to frame (GND) by means of an ammeter. The value measured must now be approximately 12 mA. Check that PC Tool shows a corresponding value.
Testing the digital input
Digital output, DO/open collector, OC
See the settings of the output in PC Tool. Measure the output. If the value in PC Tool differs from the value measured with the measuring instrument, remove the load. If the values still differ, the module is defective. The voltage of an active output is approximately 5 V.
Measuring voltage on the digital output
LiqTec sensor
Connect a new LiqTec sensor to check the input. Immerse the sensor into water and take it up. The motor must now report fault within 20 seconds.
Signal relay
See the settings of the output in PC Tool.
Check if the relay reacts to the signals of the controller according to the configuration of the controller.
CIM
Test the CIM module according to its manual.
Radio
If there are problems in the radio connection between Grundfos GO and the motor, remove the terminal box cover. See the section on replacing the terminal box cover. Replace the operating panel if there is still no connection.
Battery
Switch off power to the motor for a short period. When you switch on the power to the pump again, adjust the clock.
Operating panel (HMI)
Check the flat cable to the functional module. Replace the operating panel if the connection is correct, and it did not solve the problem.
