How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power to heater and automation before changing wiring or DIP switch settings.

  • Check device addressing: On the heater control board, verify any address or DIP switch settings match the automation system’s configuration.
  • Review automation setup: In the Pentair automation menu, confirm the heater type, address, and communication settings are correct.
  • Update firmware: If available, update automation firmware to the latest version to ensure compatibility with the heater model.
  • Test with direct control: Temporarily operate the heater in local mode to confirm it functions independently, then re-enable automation control.
