Possible Causes

Incorrect wiring of RS‑485 terminals on DAB control, Reversed polarity on communication lines, Broken or shorted communication cable, Faulty communication port on DAB control module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting any wiring.

Steps to check:

  • Verify wiring: Open the DAB control box and locate the communication terminals (often marked A/B or +/−). Confirm they match the external controller's wiring diagram.
  • Check cable integrity: Inspect the communication cable for cuts, kinks, or water ingress at junction boxes. Replace if suspect.
  • Polarity and termination: Ensure RS‑485 polarity is correct and that termination resistors are installed as per DAB and automation manufacturer instructions.
  • Standalone test: Disconnect external control and run the pump in local/manual mode. If it runs normally, the issue is limited to the communication interface.
  • If E09 persists with correct wiring: The communication interface on the DAB control module may be defective and require replacement.
