How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power to both pump and automation system before working on low-voltage wiring.
- Verify communication wiring: Check the RS-485 or control cable between the Sta-Rite pump and automation panel. Ensure correct terminals and polarity.
- Check pump mode: In the pump's menu, confirm it is set to external control/remote mode if required by your automation system.
- Confirm address: Set the pump address (if applicable) to match the configuration in the automation controller.
- Test with known-good cable: Temporarily run a new cable between pump and controller to rule out cable faults.
