Causes:
1. No flow of water on the intake side of the pump.
The pump must not run dry because this causes
severe damages.
2. For the MMW and MTW the EL parameter is
enabled and the digital input is open. See
SIC MENU (MB) parameters
3. For the MMA and MTA the EXT.LOW WATER
parameter is enabled and the digital input is
open. See
Advanced menu (ME) parameters
page 37
AUTOMATIC mode: Alarm triggered and pump
locked. It is possible to run the pump in manual
mode (2) when the alarm is triggered: press (6),
make sure the LED (8) is off, and press (1). The
pump can be run and primed in this way, but it is im-
portant not to run it on dry for more than 5 seconds.
Solutions:
• Check the working order of the level sensor
(float, minimum pressure switch, optional probe
module panel).
• Check for the presence (level) of water on the in-
take side.
• Check the water pressure on the intake side.

Troubleshooting: The converter supplies current to
the electric motor above the set rated value. The
converter protects the motor against current over-
load.

Solutions:
• Check the condition of the windings of the elec-
tric motor.
• Check the power consumption of the electric mo-
tor.
• Check the cross-section of the motor's power ca-
ble: this must be suited to the length of the cable
and to the power of the motor.
• Check configuration of the rated current parame-
ter.
• The value of the converter's rated current must
be at least equal to the current value on the data
plate. If the power cable for the motor is longer
than 30 meters, it is advisable to increase the
value by a minimum of 10%.

WARNING:
If the value is not configured correctly,
the motor might NOT be protected
against overload and could suffer irrepar-
able damage.

An automatic function of the converter that detects
current consumption while the motor is running. The
converter cuts out the power supply to the motor and
remains locked.
Troubleshooting:
• In the case of single-phase motors, the thermal
circuit breaker (motor protector) trips automati-
cally. The circuit breaker is located in the terminal
box, a separate electrical panel or in the motor,
depending on the model of the electric pump (re-
fer to the relative manual).
• Breaking or failure of a phase of the motor.
• Failure/disconnection/deterioration of a phase of
the motor's power cable.
• Breaking of the converter's fuse, refer to
13
on page 275 and
Figure 15
• For single-phase submerged motors with float.
Check the float to see if it is broken or has trip-
ped.
