Pump Novice [RE-wrenches]

Friends:

Excuse my ignorance, but I've had little opportunity to work on DC pump
systems:

I have a client for whom I installed an off grid system.  They also have a
DC pumping system installed by the ranch foreman.  I got a call from the
client-- no water since Thursday.  The family member that handles technical
matters on the ranch is out of the country for a month.

 I went by with the family while on a drive Sunday.  While the kids played
with the bunnies, I checked the system.  The 4 SP75s were putting 78 volts
into the controller.  There was 64 volts on the wire to the well pump.  I
assumed the pump may be bad or clogged?

The pump is a Sunrise 5230 SR and the controller is a 5200SP.  The power
LEDS were all illuminated.  I tried the float bypass, no change.  What is
the illuminated  "Dry?" LED mean?

Thanks for answering such elementary questions.


William Miller
