Vectra M2 Failure

[watdachuck]

I shut down by Vectra M2 for some routine maintenance. When I turned the power back on the pump is failing to start.

The driver is momentarily red, then green like normal before quickly shutting down.

Has this driver gone bad? I have no way to reset the driver since it doesn't stay on long enough.

@ecotechmarinetank @ecotechmarine @ecotech any help here? I cannot reach anyone to discuss live at the moment.

FYI.....it was the power supply. Had to buy a new pump in the moment to identify it unfortunately.

My experience with that turned out to be the driver going bad since the motor block had no visible issues and the power supply still lit up.

Driver was fine in this case. I exchanged the power supply and all is well. Going to check and see if it is under warranty still once I can reach customer service

How did you end up narrowing it down? I’m having a similar issue

I had a similar issue with a Kessiln A360 and randomly gave it a go. Unfortunately I was in a rush or I would have only ordered the replacement power supply versus an entire new unit. That being said I have a back up pump now also.
