| VOLTAGE | Solid | Under Voltage |
| VOLTAGE | Flashing | Over Voltage |
| LOAD & VOLTAGE | Flashing | Rapid Cycling |
Resetting the System
If the Pumptec-Plus detects a fault, it will shut down the pump and indicate the fault via the LED lights. Depending on the configured reset time, the unit will attempt to restart the pump after the set delay. For an immediate reset, press the "RESET" button on the front panel.
Maintenance
The Franklin Electric Pumptec-Plus is designed for minimal maintenance.
- Periodically inspect the unit for any visible damage or loose connections.
- Ensure the enclosure is kept clean and free from dust and debris.
- Do not attempt to open the sealed internal components. Refer servicing to qualified technicians.
Troubleshooting
Use the indicator lights on the front panel to diagnose common issues.
- Pump not running, POWER light solid, LOAD light solid: Indicates an underload condition, most commonly a dry well. Check water levels. The unit will reset after the set delay.
- Pump not running, POWER light solid, LOAD light flashing: Indicates an overload condition. Check the pump motor for obstructions or mechanical issues.
- Pump not running, POWER light solid, VOLTAGE light solid: Indicates under voltage. Check the power supply to the unit.
- Pump not running, POWER light solid, VOLTAGE light flashing: Indicates over voltage. Check the power supply to the unit.
- Pump cycling rapidly, LOAD & VOLTAGE lights flashing: Indicates rapid cycling. This could be due to a pressure tank issue or a faulty check valve.
- No lights: Check the main power supply to the Pumptec-Plus unit.
If the issue persists after basic troubleshooting, contact a qualified pump technician or Franklin Electric customer support.
