On the morning of Monday, 8/3 I noticed that the well tank was quite low. Given the sporadic re-routing of well water supply to CEBEX this was not immediately concerning. Because the well tank can call for the pump to run, it sometimes calls but never satisfies because of the possible configuration of valves at MY. This confuses the FMCS logic, and will cause it to no longer function as designed. That said, when I attempted to manually command the well pump remotely, it alarmed out. At that point, Eric, Bubba and Richard did some lite electrical troubleshooting. The most obvious issue at the time was that the IR contactor refused to pull in despite the cabinet being in hand and being told to run.

At this point, I called Ohmco to see if they were able to shift their schedule around to put eyes on the well cabinet ASAP. They arrived within ~2 hours and began their troubleshooting. After hours of poking around, their assessment was that the soft start motor control was likely faulty. Unfortunately, despite the soft start readout being largely shielded from the sun, it was not operable so no apparent faults could be documented.

A soft start (P/N ATS480D88Y) was ordered on Monday and arrived Friday. Ohmco arrived that day, swapped the motor control's, set the appropriate parameters according to our pump HP and we verified rotation. This fixed the issue and operation of the wellhead returned to normal.

A second, identical soft start motor control has been ordered and is expected to arrive today. This will serve as a backup in the event this issue arises again. It will be clearly labeled and stored in the carpenter shop.
