1. Fault correction
1.1 General description
Note: General description applies to both single- and three-phase E-pumps.
In case the E-pump does not function as expected, the fault may be found in
the pump
the mains connection
external signals to the MGE motor
the settings made by means of R100 or the factory settings which do not correspond to the desired function
the motor windings
the terminal box.
The actual operational state of the motor can often be ascertained by means of two indicator lights (light emitting diodes) fitted
either on the control panel or inside the MGE motor terminal box. However, combinations of faults and passing states may arise
which cause the indicator light indications not to be a true representation of the actual state of the motor.
Reset or update the fault indication to the actual state
by switching the external on/off switch to OFF and then ON again (or by turning external potentiometer to OFF and ON
again), or
by switching the mains supply switch to OFF and then to ON again.
If automatic restarting was chosen and the cause of the fault has disappeared after the restarting attempt, the fault indication
will be reset automatically.
1.1.1 Fault finding
Fault finding should always start with a check that the external conditions for correct function are OK. Do this by checking:
that the mains supply is in accordance with the data on the nameplate,
that the installation was carried out according to the Installation and operating instructions,
that the external on/off switch has been connected correctly,
that the desired setpoint signal is available,
that the direction of rotation of the motor is correct,
that the required sensor signal is available.
1.1.2 Fault log
E-pumps feature a fault log function:
The fault log function memory can recall the five latest faults.
The fault log can be read out via R100 or PC Tool E-products.
The possible faults are shown in the tables in 1.2.2 Fault readings via R100 fault log or PC Tool E-products and 1.4.2 Fault
readings via R100 fault log or PC Tool E-products.
Note: The same fault can have different texts/designations in R100 and PC Tool E-products.
The fault log can only be reset via PC Tool E-products.

GENI menu
Reading out of faults in the GENI menu requires R100 to be set to service mode:
1. go to the menu SETTINGS
2. go to display Name and address
3. enter the service code 681400.
Now you can read out the fault log in the following display:

The following figure is a diagrammatic representation of how the stop function works.
A B
Cut-out
pressure
Cut-in
pressure
Time
A: Detection of flow.
B: After detection of low flow, pressure is increased briefly and pump switches to stop function.
How to adapt the built-in low-flow detector to a specific application
At regular intervals the pump will check the flow by reducing the speed for a short time and thus checking the pressure change.
The development of the pressure change is converted to the value "Flow integral" which can be read in the PC Tool E-prod-
ucts menu window "monitor". In case this value exceeds the flow integral value set in "5. Pump" in either the Stop function or
in Custom configuration, the stop function is activated. If the value is not exceeded, the pump remains in normal operation.
The "Flow integral" value is factory-set, and if the pump is connected to a diaphragm tank of the correct size, the stop function
will work correctly in most cases.
In case a special setting of the stop function is required, this must be done by means of PC Tool E-products using the function
Stop function or Custom configuration according to the following procedure:
Set the setpoint.
Set "Flow estimation limit" to 254.
Set pump flow to the value at which the pump is required to switch to stop function.
Wait till the pump has detected low flow.
Read the value for "Flow integral" in "monitor".
Set "Flow estimation limit" to the value stated.
Signals in the control panel
When the stop function has been activated, the green indicator light will be permanently on. If the operator stops the controller
in a normal way (for instance via R100), the green indicator light will start flashing.

1.4.3 How to use PC Tool E-products on two pumps running duty/standby
The duty/standby function in E-pumps is set by means of R100. Before you start using PC Tool E-products on faulty E-pumps
you have to do this:
1. Contact one of the pumps by means of R100, set Duty/Standby to Not Active, see CRE, CRIE, CRNE, CRKE, SPKE,
MTRE, CHIE with and without sensor, menu INSTALLATION. The duty/standby function has now been cancelled.
2. Connect PC Tool E-products to the service port of the pump you want to communicate with.
3. Make the necessary service settings via PC Tool E-products.
4. Disconnect PC Tool E-products from the service port.
5. Contact one of the pumps by means of R100, set Duty/Standby to Active. The duty/standby function has now been set
again.
Note: It is important that you cancel the duty/standby function before you start on the abovementioned procedure. Otherwise
you may have one of the two fault situations described below.
The reason for this is that the two pumps communicate with each other via a GENIbus connection, and one pump is master and
the other pump is slave. This master-slave relation will make them react differently when you connect PC Tool E-products. You
cannot know in advance which of the two pumps is master and which is slave.
Fault situation 1:
If you connect PC Tool E-products to the master pump, you will see the following reactions:
1. PC Tool E-products will not be able to establish contact with any of the pumps and will display a window with the
abovementioned text. The reason is a communication conflict between two masters (PC Tool E-products and master pump).
2. Both pumps will give fault indication after approx. 8 seconds. The reason is that communication between the two pumps was
interrupted when PC Tool E-products was connected to the service port of the master pump.
Fault situation 2:
If you connect PC Tool E-products to the slave pump, you will see the following reactions:
1. PC Tool E-products will establish contact with the pump. The reason is that PC Tool E-products is connected to the slave
pump; communication can take place.
2. The master pump will give a fault indication after approx. 8 seconds. The reason is that communication between the two
pumps was interrupted when PC Tool E-products was connected to the service port of the slave pump. The slave pump does
not indicate fault because being the slave pump, it will "mistake" PC Tool E-products for the master pump.

2. Control board
The control board was changed at the end of 2003. So there are now two control boards:
Control board type 1 (the original control board)
Control board type 2 (used after the end of 2003).
The difference between the two control boards can be seen in the illustration below.
Consequently, when the control board needs to be replaced, you can have three different situations:
A: Replacement of control board type 1 with control board type 1
B: Replacement of control board type 1 with control board type 2
C: Replacement of control board type 2 with control board type 2.

1.6 Fault correction, three phase E-pumps, 11-22 kWmodel F
The operational state of the motor incl. possible faults can be read via the indicator lights on the control panel.
If an R100 remote control is available, we recommend you to start fault finding via the R100 fault code.
See section 1.6.1 Fault finding using alarm and warning codes .
In case of certain faults in the electronics, the indicator lights on the control panel may indicate
differently from the indicator lights on the control board. In these cases, the indicator lights on
the control board indicate the current operating and alarm condition.

1.7.3 How to use PC Tool E-products on two pumps running duty/standby
The duty/standby function in E-pumps is set by means of R100. Before you start using PC Tool E-products on faulty E-pumps
you have to do this:
1. Contact one of the pumps by means of R100, set Duty/Standby to Not Active, see CRE, CRIE, CRNE, CRKE, SPKE,
MTRE, CHIE with and without sensor, menu INSTALLATION. The duty/standby function has now been cancelled.
2. Connect PC Tool E-products to the service port of the pump you want to communicate with.
3. Make the necessary service settings via PC Tool E-products.
4. Disconnect PC Tool E-products from the service port.
5. Contact one of the pumps by means of R100, set Duty/Standby to Active. The duty/standby function has now been set
again.
Note: It is important that you cancel the duty/standby function before you start on the abovementioned procedure. Otherwise
you may have one of the two fault situations described below.
The reason for this is that the two pumps communicate with each other via a GENIbus connection, and one pump is master and
the other pump is slave. This master-slave relation will make them react differently when you connect PC Tool E-products. You
cannot know in advance which of the two pumps is master and which is slave.
Fault situation 1:
If you connect PC Tool E-products to the master pump, you will see the following reactions:
1. PC Tool E-products will not be able to establish contact with any of the pumps and will display a window with the
abovementioned text. The reason is a communication conflict between two masters (PC Tool E-products and master pump).
2. Both pumps will give fault indication after approx. 8 seconds. The reason is that communication between the two pumps was
interrupted when PC Tool E-products was connected to the service port of the master pump.
Fault situation 2:
If you connect PC Tool E-products to the slave pump, you will see the following reactions:
1. PC Tool E-products will establish contact with the pump. The reason is that PC Tool E-products is connected to the slave
pump; communication can take place.
2. The master pump will give a fault indication after approx. 8 seconds. The reason is that communication between the two
pumps was interrupted when PC Tool E-products was connected to the service port of the slave pump. The slave pump does
not indicate fault because being the slave pump, it will "mistake" PC Tool E-products for the master pump.

1.8 Fault correction, Hydro Multi-E
Grundfos Hydro Multi-E booster system consists of two, three or four CRE pumps mounted on a common base frame, dia-
phragm tank, pressure gauge and a breaker or control cabinet with main switch and back-up fuses.
Hydro Multi-E with single-phase E-pumps
Hydro Multi-E systems with single-phase E-pumps are controlled by a Multi-E control unit incorporated in the terminal box of
pump no. 1. Pumps 2, 3 and 4 are standard CRE pumps with built-in GENIbus connection, but without control panel.
Hydro Multi-E with three-phase E-pumps model B and C
Hydro Multi-E systems with three-phase E-pumps are controlled by a PC 410 controller incorporated in the control cabinet.
Pumps 1, 2, 3 and 4 are standard CRE pumps with built-in GENIbus connection.
Hydro Multi-E with three-phase E-pumps model D
Hydro Multi-E systems with three-phase E-pumps are controlled by a Multi-E control unit incorporated in the terminal box of
pump no. 1. Pumps 2, 3 and 4 are standard CRE pumps with built-in GENIbus connection, but without control panel.
Hydro Multi-E with three-phase E-pumps model G
Hydro Multi-E systems with three-phase E-pumps are controlled by a Multi-E control unit incorporated in the terminal box of
pump no. 1. Pumps 2, 3 and 4 are standard CRE pumps with built-in GENIbus connection, but without control panel.
95 / 109
1.8.1 Fault correction procedure
This general procedure applies to both Hydro Multi-E booster systems with single-phase E-pumps and with three-phase E-
pumps.
The main purpose is to isolate which pump is faulty or possibly if PC 410 is faulty.
Carry out fault finding of the individual pump by following these steps:
1: Installation and operating instructions
See section 9 "Setting by means fo R100". Make all settings according to the installation and opeating instructions.
2: Fault management
General description
A Hydro Multi-E booster system is set to keep up a set setpoint. In case of fault in one pump, the pump work will be taken over
by one of the other pumps.
Current fault is the latest occurring fault. Fault is indicated by the red indicator light on the control panel.
The system is equipped with a sensor. In case of fault in the sensor this will be indicated on the control panel, but it is only when
the system is in operating mode Normal that the controller will react to this fault.
Distinction is made between system fault and pump fault. Pump fault causes Warning and not Fault, see product information
Hydro Multi-E (PI-046), section 11.1 System conditions.
Fault types
Hydro Multi-E has the following main fault types:
motor protection fault
communication fault in Grundfos GENIbus, see product information Hydro Multi-E (PI-046), section 8.10 Start-up after dis-
connection
sensor fault, see product information Hydro Multi-E (PI-046), section 8.5 Registration of sensor fault
dry running.
See also product information Hydro Multi-E (PI-046), section 11.1 System conditions.
Fault log
Hydro Multi-E has a fault log function:
the five latest occurring faults are stored in the fault log
the fault log is stored in the EEPROM
a fault log contains...
fault code for either pump or system fault
time since the fault occurred.
The fault log can be read out by means of R100 or via GENI-bus.
If two consecutive faults have the same fault code, the latest fault will be stored in the fault log if in the meantime the system
has been in condition Ready.
The fault log can be reset via GENIbus.
A fault is registered in the fault log as soon as it occurs and not only when it is reset or a new fault occurs.
Note: The fault log is stored even if Hydro Multi-E has been switched off.
Resetting of faults
When Hydro Multi-E is in system condition Warning or Fault due to fault in one or more of the pumps, the built-in automatic
restart functions of the pumps will - at intervals - try to switch the system to system condition Ready again.
While the pump/pumps try to restart automatically (0 - 25 sec.), the user may try to restart the pump/pumps manually by either
pressing one of the buttons of the control panel or by means of R100/GENIbus.

1.8.2 Configuration of Hydro Multi-E
A Hydro Multi-E booster system is configured from factory.
This description explains how to configure a Hydro Multi-E booster system if you have replaced a motor or a terminal box.
To be able to carry out the configuration you need the "PC Tool E-products" program and a "PC Tool link" for the physical con-
nection between terminal box and PC.
Configuration of a Hydro Multi-E falls in two procedures:
1. System configuration
2. Pump configuration
1. Pump configuration
1. Connect your PC to the Multi-E pump terminal box GENIbus plug A-Y-B via the PC Tool Link.
3. When communication has been established, the PC Tool 'Network list' will display the icons for Hydro Multi-E sys-
tem and the pumps installed.
If the configuration file number is available, see 1.8.3Multi-E pumps GSC-file numbers:
- select 'Number'
- select 'Application'
7. Select the relevant file from the 'Configuration files' list and click 'Send' to transfer the system file to the Multi-E
pump.
102 / 109
A.2. Multi-E pump configuration
If a PC with PC Tool E-products is already connected via the Multi-E GENIbus plug A-Y-B, start at point 4. We recom-
mend you to configure pumps 2, 3, 4 in this way as access to the terminal box of pumps 2, 3, 4 is made difficult by
the control cabinet.
If a PC is not connected via the Multi-E pump, start from point 1.
1. Connect your PC to the pump to be configured via the PC Tool Link
either to the pump terminal box Genibus plug A-Y-B
or to the TTL plug (situated to the left on the lower board in the terminal box).
2. Start PC Tool E-products.
3. When communication has been established, the PC Tool 'Network list' will display the icons for the pumps installed.
4. Select the Pump you want to configure in the 'Network list'.
5. Select the PC Tool function 'Standard configuration'.
6. Go to section 'Search by'
If the configuration file number is available, see 1.8.3 Multi-E pumps GSC-file numbers:
- select 'Number'
- type the Configuration No.
- click Search now.
If the configuration file number is NOT available:
- select 'Application'
- in 'Application search' select the correct settings for your application

1.8.6 Emergency operation (optional)
Emergency operation deals with the reaction of the Hydro Multi-E booster system if fault occurs in
the Hydro Multi-E add-on board
the pressure transmitter
the signal cable.
In the standard version the reaction to any of the abovementioned faults is to stop all pumps - just as it was in the original con-
cept. It is the same basic reaction as in a Hydro 2000 booster system.
The emergency operation is an option. Emergency operation must be configured like this:
Pressure switches to be fitted on the discharge manifold
One pressure switch will be connected to the terminal boxes of all CRE pumps
This table shows the reaction of Hydro Multi-E to the two fault types mentioned above and what to do.
This solution will both safeguard the water supply and prevent the risk of any of the pumps operating against closed valve if the
Hydro Multi-E add-on board should fail.
