Possible Causes
Incorrect control mode on Pahlén pump, Faulty relay or control output from automation, Broken low-voltage cable, Misconfigured address or protocol
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power to control circuits before rewiring. Low-voltage circuits can still be damaged by shorts.
- Verify control mode: Set the Pahlén pump to accept external control (relay, 0–10 V, or RS-485) as required by your automation system.
- Test manual operation: Confirm that the pump runs correctly in local/manual mode to rule out mechanical issues.
- Check wiring: Inspect low-voltage control cables between the automation panel and Pahlén pump for continuity and correct terminal connections.
- Bypass test: Temporarily command the pump using a simple on/off relay or direct 0–10 V signal to verify that the pump responds.
