Yes...
Most likely the Power Center card (Surge card) is bad.
There are a couple of threads here about repairing them.
Thanks,

Was this installed with other Pentair equipment or by itself? It may still be under warranty.

It may or may not. Sometimes when the cell goes bad, it takes the surge card with it.
My pull it out of my rear guess is that replacing the surge card will fix it 80% of the time.
Also if you bought a bunch of Pentair equipment at the same time, they often come with a 3-year warranty. Worth checking out.
Good luck,
Jim R.
