Aquavar SOLO – Quick Installation Guide
1. Mount Aquavar SOLO Drive (in a vertical position);
• Must have 6” minimum clearance on all sides for proper cooling.
2. Wire Input Power to SOLO Drive (Single Phase, 230V)
• Review Circuit Breaker Sizing - see IMS-SOLOQ-2 or IM229
3. Wire Motor Drop Cable to SOLO Drive (75˚C Copper Wire min.)
• 3AS Models - Use with Three Phase, 230V, ¾ to 5 HP Motors
• 1AS15 Model - Compatible w/Single Phase, 230V Motors
❍
3-Wire - .5 - 2 HP CP / Pentek XE; .5 – 1.5 HP FE & Grundfos
❍
2-Wire - .5 – 1.5 CentriPro, Pentek XE, Franklin Elec. & Grundfos 2-Wire
– units with R05K or newer software only.
• Review Wire Sizing (Table 4 of IM229)
4. Mount Transducer and Confirm Transducer Cable Wiring
• Transducer cable maximum length = 200 feet
• Connect Pressure Transducer to piping manifold and to ground
5. User Interface Board Adjustments
• Select proper “Current Limit Setting” (equal to motor SFA)
• 1AS15 Only - Set “Pump Stop Sensitivity” - High is Default
_ _
• 3AS
• Dry Well Sensitivity - Set on “High” position;
• Low Pressure Cut-Off and Pressure Drop setting adjusted to application /
• Optional use of Secondary Switch Connection, refer to IM229
6. Adjust Tank Pressure
• Set approximately 20 PSI below pressure set point
• Adjust as needed to optimize - see IMS-SOLOQ-2 or IM229
7. Turn Drive Power On - Adjust Pressure - Purge Air
• Purge air from system and check for leaks
• Factory default is 50 psi - push and hold Increase Pressure button if
8. Check Motor Rotation and Confirm Performance
Refer to Aquavar SOLO Installation Manual, IM229, for complete details.
Check Motor Insulation Resistance on retrot jobs before replacing drive.
Only - Select maximum frequency setting (60 Hz or 80 Hz);
❍
60 Hz = matching Liquid End HP and Motor HP
❍
80 Hz = “over-speed” application; motor HP > Liquid End HP
❍
If nuisance tripping occurs, switch to “Low” position
system requirements.
higher pressure is desired and also adjust tank pre-charge.

1. CentriPro 2-Wire motors have Generation 1 and Generation 2 amp ratings, see motor nameplate or motor data sticker that was supplied with motor.
2. Amps are higher than controller overload range - use of these motors will current limit and provide reduced performance.

PRESSURE TANK SIZING and SET-UP
• Use Total Tank Volume to size tank. Total tank volume should be approximately 20% of
the pump’s maximum ow rate. Ex., pump maximum ow =10 GPM = 2 gallon Total Vol.
tank.
• If the User Interface Board (UIB) is set for a 5 PSI Pressure Drop adjust the tank pressure
to 20 PSI below the desired system set-point. Ex., 50 PSI system set-point = 30 PSI tank
pre-charge.
• If the UIB is set for a 20 PSI Pressure Drop adjust the tank pressure to 30 PSI below the desired system set-point. Ex., 50 PSI system set-point = 20 PSI tank pre-charge. Each system
is different so this setting may require minor adjustment for optimum performance.
• Large Tanks - installations with large volume tanks may require minor tank pre-charge
pressure adjustments for optimum performance - please see more details in IM229, especially if the system turns On and Off too often or does not turn off.

FAULT CODES
No Light: Low Voltage or No Voltage to Controller
Green Light Codes:
• Constant Green - Unit in Standby: system is Off or system detected low
voltage, below 190 VAC and is waiting for voltage to increase to acceptable
level.
• Blinking Green - Pump is running: all is normal
Red Light Codes:
• Constant Red - Controller Error: internal controller issue, replace controller.
• 2 Blinks - Dry Well: controller will restart automatically
• 3 Blinks - Transducer Fault: controller will not run if the signal from the
transducer is disconnected or out of tolerance.
• 4 Blinks - Over Current: controller will attempt to restart three times before
displaying this fault. To clear the fault, turn power off, wait 1 minute, turn
power on. Fault may be caused by setting Overload Dial on too low a setting.
• 5 Blinks - Short Circuit: controller will attempt to restart three times, to clear,
turn power off, wait 1 minute, turn power on.
• 6 Blinks - Ground Fault: controller will not restart - To clear the fault, turn
power off, wait 1 minute, turn power on.
• 7 Blinks - Temperature: controller will restart automatically when the
temperature reaches an acceptable level.
• 8 Blinks - Open Lead: controller will not restart. To clear the fault, turn power
off, wait 1 minute, turn power on.
• 9 Blinks - Low Pressure Cut-off: Controller will not restart. Pressure 20 PSI
below set point for 30 seconds. May be a broken pipe or tripped pressure
relief valve.
Note - In many instances the controller is blamed for faults caused by bad motors, tanks
with incorrect or no air charge, poor wiring and/or improper grounding. Since the SOLO
may be used to retrot an existing installation into a variable speed system, IM229 includes
instructions on checking Motor Insulation Resistance and Winding Resistance. Before
replacing a SOLO drive on a retrot installation please perform these tests to verify the
motor and wire are in good condition and the tank pressure is set properly.

¹ Amps are higher than controller overload range - use of 1AS15 on these motors will limit current and reduce
performance.
² Note: It is acceptable to use a higher setting than the 2-wire motor maximum amperage because the 2-wire motor's
on winding overloads will protect the motor while the higher SOLO setting will not inhibit performance.
³ Gen 2 motors - 2-Wire were released for sale in Nov/Dec 2011, 3-Wire will be available Feb/March 2012.
