good morning Jim, electrician came by, the GFCI was fine, the AC voltage between the two red transformer wires was 32 volts. Electrical seems to believe that I should replace that transformer as a first step.

Thanks Jim, I will take all the guess you give me, it’s not everyone who will out in and contribute such time to help someone out, and for that I thank you truly. I will get the electrical voltage tests done, go from there. More to report in a bit. Thanks

Hi Jim, no I have not done that voltage test yet, I haven’t don’t that before so will ask my electrician to do it Monday. There are a couple of transformers it seems, if one is bad sending to high voltage is it the top one or the bottom one (the bottom one seems to be larger). Also, I didn’t...

So I removed two black wires off the GFCI and there was no change. Not sure if that’s a problem, I kinda assumed current has to go through the GFCI for the whole system to work, but if GFCI is bad, then disconnecting a couple of wires wouldn’t change anything. It was t a bypass per se, but I...

I also don’t understand how a bad IC40 would go and damage the new surge card, with low voltage breakers that trip to protect it. Would you know ?

Ok, I re-did the process this time with the three port connectors removed from the surge card. Here is what happened. With pump connected, 12 amp popped pressing F, then I disconnected cell and 12 amp popped when pressing F, then disconnected one of the two AC inputs to the surge card and...

Ok, so I think the three ports you mentioned are on the motherboard per I photo I sent earlier, and I removed all three. Here is what happened. With pump connected, 12 amp popped pressing F, then I disconnected cell and 12 amp popped when pressing F, then disconnected one of the two AC inputs...

Which are the 3 RS-485 com ports ? I included picture

Which are the three RS 485 com ports ?

Hi, no I must have missed that post earlier, I will try that next. Thanks

Yes, I had done that, this is what I had written Only pump connected see screen, toggle F button and 12 amp low voltage breaker trips

Yes with nothing but the power connected to the main card, the screen does come on and nothing else works. Pushing the "F' button does not do anything in this scenario I tried that when it was all disconnected, forgot to record that step in my summary. I had that disconnected when I tried those...

I think I wrote this correctly - Only pump connected see screen, toggle F button and 12 amp low voltage breaker trips - Only comms connected, see screen and 3amp breaker trips - Everything connected, no screen, 3 amp trips Also the board in this thing in picture doesn’t look burnt anywhere...
