Cause
Inlet pipe incorrectly installed
Check valve closed at pressure sensor
No diaphragm pressure vessel present
(optional or accessory)
Supply pressure at existing diaphragm
pressure vessel incorrect
Valve on existing diaphragm pressure
vessel closed
Existing diaphragm pressure vessel
defective
Set switching difference too small
Major fluctuations in intake pressure
Intake pipe blocked or shut off
Nominal diameter of inlet pipe too small Check the inlet pipe, increase the cross-

Remedy
Check inlet pipe, if necessary change
pipe guide
Inspect, open check valve if necessary
Retrofit a diaphragm pressure vessel
Check supply pressure and correct if
necessary
Check valve and open if necessary
Check the diaphragm pressure vessel
and replace if necessary
Check setting and correct if necessary
Check intake pressure, if necessary take
measures to stabilise supply pressure
(e.g. pressure reducer)
Check inlet pipe, if necessary remove
blockage or open check valve
section for the inlet pipe if necessary
Check inlet pipe, if necessary change
pipe guide
Check, if necessary seal pipe. Vent
pumps
Vent pump, check suction line for leaks
and seal if necessary
Check pump, if necessary replace or have
repaired
Check pump data and default values and
correct if necessary
Check direction of rotation and correct
by changing over phases if necessary
Check fuses, cables and connections
Check fixation, tighten fastening screws
if necessary
Check pump/motor, replace if necessary
or have repaired
Check, if necessary seal pipe. Vent
pumps
Check, open the check valve completely
if necessary
Check pump, if necessary replace or have
repaired
Check, if necessary remove blockage or
replace non-return valve
Inspect, open check valve if necessary
Check setting and correct if necessary
Check pump/motor, replace if necessary
or have repaired
Check, if necessary replace motor or
have repaired

Check, if necessary replace seal or
replace non-return valve
Check pump data and default values and
correct if necessary
Check, if necessary replace motor or
have repaired
Check fuses, cables and connections
Check, if necessary replace non-return
valve
