SubDrive 75 & 150, 300, MonoDrive, & MonoDrive XT

The Franklin Electric SubDrive / MonoDrive Constant Pressure controller is a variable-speed water system that utilizes a variable-speed drive system to delivers water at a constant pressure.

WARNING: Serious or fatal electrical shock may result from failure to connect the motor, SubDrive / MonoDrive, metal plumbing and all other metal near the motor or cable to the power supply ground terminal using wire no smaller than motor cable wires. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the water system. Capacitors inside the SubDrive / MonoDrive Controller can still hold a lethal voltage even after power has been removed. Allow 10 minutes for dangerous internal voltage to discharge. Do not use motor in swimming areas.
 
CP Water System Troubleshooting
Should an application or system problem occur, a built-in diagnostics will protect the system. The "FAULT" light on the front of the SubDrive / MonoDrive Controller will flash a given number of times indicating the nature of the fault. In some cases, the system will shut itself off until corrective action is taken. Fault codes and their corrective actions are listed below. See Subdrive Installation Manual for installation data.
# of Flashes Fault Possible Cause Corrective Action
1 Motor Underload Air-locked pump.
Overpumped or dry well.
Worn pump.
Broken motor shaft.
Blocked pump screen.
Wait for well to recover and automatic restart timer to time out. If the problem does not correct, check motor and pump. See description of "smart reset" in CP Water installation manual.
2 Undervoltage Low line voltage. Check for loose connections. Check line voltage. Report low voltage to the power company. Unit will start automatically when proper power is supplied.
3 Locked Pump Motor/pump misaligned.
Abrasive/Sand bound pump.
Unit will attempt to free a locked pump. If unsuccessful, check the motor and pump.
4 Incoreectly Wired Start winding
resistance too low.
Check if main and start wires are swapped. Make certain proper motor is installed.
5 Open Circuit Loose connections.
Defective motor or cable.
Check motor wiring. Make certain all connections are tight. Make certain proper motor is installed. *Cycle input power to reset.
6 Short Circuit When fault is indicated immediately after power-up, short circuit is due to loose connection, defective cable, splice or motor. Check motor wiring. *Cycle input power to reset.
Over Circuit When fault is indicated while motor is running, over current is due to loose debris trapped in pump. Check pump.
7 Overheated Controller High ambient temperature.
Direct sunlight.
Obstruction of air flow
This fault automatically resets when temperature returns to a safe level.
 
*"Cycle input power" means turn the power off until both lights fade off and apply power again.
