Possible Causes

Electrical noise on control lines, Faulty speed sensor, Loose control wiring, Software glitch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing control wiring or the drive module.

Steps to stabilize speed:

  • Check control wiring: Inspect low-voltage control and feedback cables for loose connections or damage.
  • Isolate from automation: Temporarily disconnect external control and run the pump in standalone mode.
  • Factory reset: Reset the drive parameters and reprogram speeds.
  • Monitor operation: If speed still oscillates, the speed sensor or drive module may be failing.

Persistent unstable speed typically requires replacement of the motor (with integrated sensor) or drive module.
