Remedy
Wait until the pressure has dropped, or lower the
pressure on the discharge side of the Hydro Multi-S.
Check that the booster system starts.
Connect the power supply.
Correct the fault, and cut in the circuit breakers.
Contact Grundfos.
Replace the circuit breaker.
Replace the pressure switch.
Correct the fault, and replace the fuse.
Remove the cause of the blocking.
Repair or replace the motor.
Replace the fuse, if defective.
Switch to emergency operation, and replace the
electronic circuit board, if defective.
Increase the cut-out pressure and/or differential
pressure.
Check the precharge pressure.
Check the inlet conditions, and make sure that liquid
flows freely to the pumps.
Increase the cut-out pressure and/or differential
pressure.
Check the precharge pressure.
Repair or replace the diaphragm tank.
Clean the suction pipe/pumps.
Check and repair the valve.
Vent the pumps. Check the suction pipe for
leakages.
Change the direction of rotation (interchange two
phases of the power supply).
Repair or replace the suction pipe.
Repair or replace the valve.
Replace the shaft seal.
Check the suction conditions (pump, pipe, valves
and the suction strainer, if any).
