The Badu EcoM3 - Variable Speed General Troubleshooting
Problem
1. Error Light appears during start-up
2. Pump will not prime.
3. Motor does not turn
4. Low flow
Error Description
Microprocessor fault
Low voltage
Temperature too high
Temperature too low
Thermal overload tripped
High voltage
Shaft locked
Self-test
Motor Error
Possible Cause
A. Low Voltage
A. Suction air leak
B. No water in pump.
C. Closed valves or blocked lines.
D. Low voltage to motor.
A. No power to motor.
B. Pump jammed
A. Dirty filter
B. Suction Leak
Cause
Microprocessor Start-Up
Voltage must exceed < 208V AC control
activates itself independently when voltage
exceeds 208V for more than six (6) seconds
(Motor Activates)
Temperature Too High > 100
Temperature Too Low < -20
Motor is drawing to many amps
Voltage has exceeded 269V AC
Impeller or pump locked/motor shaft stopped
turning
One or more self-test were not completed
One or more phases are not connected
Solution
During the initial start-up (6-12
seconds delay) there is a momentary
power drop, in which case the pump
will restart itself after the voltage
is above 208V for a period of six
seconds.
Make sure see-through lid and o-rings
are clean and properly positioned.
Hand tighten see-through lid. Tighten
all pipes and fittings on suction side
of pump. Be sure water in pool is high
enough to flow through skimmer.
Make sure strainer tank is full of water.
Open all valves in system. Clean
skimmer and strainer tank. Open pump
and check for clogging of impeller.
Check voltage at motor. If low, pump
will not come up to speed.
Check that all power switches are
on. Be sure fuse or circuit breaker is
properly set. Time set properly? Check
motor wiring at terminal.
With power off, turn shaft. It should
spin freely. If not, disassemble and
repair.
Back wash filter when filter pressure is
high, or clean cartridges.
