Possible Causes
Faulty external control signal, Electrical noise on control wiring, Intermittent flow or pressure sensor, Loose control connectors
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing control terminals.
- 1. Isolate external control: Temporarily disconnect any external control inputs (0–10 V, RS-485, relay contacts) and run the pump in local/manual mode. If speed stabilizes, the issue is external.
- 2. Check control wiring: Inspect low-voltage control cables for damage and ensure they are routed away from high-voltage power cables to reduce interference.
- 3. Inspect sensors: If a flow or pressure sensor is connected, check its wiring and mounting. Replace if readings are erratic.
- 4. Secure connectors: Reseat any plug-in connectors on the Espa control PCB related to speed control.
