Possible Causes

Damaged communication cable, Corroded low-voltage terminals, Faulty display/keypad board, Incorrect wiring to pool automation system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working on low-voltage wiring to avoid damaging electronics.

  • Check local control first: If using an external pool controller, switch the SunHeater to Stand-Alone or Local mode (if available) and see if the heater operates normally from its own keypad. This helps isolate the problem.
  • Inspect communication wiring: Locate the low-voltage terminal strip on the main control board. Tighten any loose screws and look for corrosion. Clean with contact cleaner if needed.
  • Test cable continuity: If a separate communication cable runs to a wall-mounted display or automation panel, disconnect both ends and test each conductor for continuity and shorts. Replace the cable if damaged.
  • Check dip switch / configuration: Verify that any communication mode dip switches on the SunHeater control board are set correctly for your automation system.
  • Replace UI board if needed: If the local keypad is unresponsive or displays garbled characters along with E10, the Display/Keypad Board may be defective and require replacement.
