1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our frequency inverter. To make best use of this energy saving
device, please take time to read this user guide thoroughly before installation and keep it for
future reference.
2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1. The frequency inverter is an energy saving product provided that it is installed and used in
accordance with our instructions.
2.2. It’s very important to follow instructions in this guide for installation. Failure to follow the
instructions may result in SERIOUS injury or property damage.
2.3. This device can ONLY be used with domestic single speed swimming pool pumps with
permanent split capacitor motor. See below please a typical single speed swimming pool
pump motor.
Fig 1
2.4. It is NOT compatible with:
a. Capacitor start asynchronous motors with centrifugal switch gear
b. Pool pump motors with start relays or switch
c. Series or DC motors
d. Pool pump motors with faults in their rotors or capacitors
e. Shaded-pole asynchronous motors
2.5. An RCD device with a fixed rated residual current not exceeding 30mA must be used with
this product.
2.6. Please keep the device out of reach of children
If you are not sure of the compatibility of your pool pump with this
device, please contact your supplier or manufacturer before proceeding
with installation.

3. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT
3.1. The warranty may be compromised if the frequency inverter is not installed in accordance
with the installation guidelines.
3.2. The frequency inverter weighs about 3.6kg, please make sure it is mounted on a firm flat
surface, with a minimum clearance surrounding it (see Fig 2) .The amount of air flows
around the heat sink is a key factor contributing to efficient cooling of frequency inverter.
To ensure an efficient heat dissipation & ventilation, it is important to install the unit in an
upright direction. if you have install it on a horizontal level, make sure the request of a
minimum sourrounding is strictly followed .
Fig 2
3.3. This device is for indoor upright installation. Do not expose it to direct sunlight or mount it
above/or near another source of hot air. Do not install it anywhere that may block ventilation
of the device like an enclosed space where air flow is limited, as this may cause overheat or
potentially cause damage
4. BEFORE INSTALLATION
4.1. Check for damage in transit upon receipt of the frequency inverter. If it is found to be
damaged, Do NOT PROCEED with installation and contact your supplier.
4.2. If the power cord is damaged, DO NOT PROCEED with installation. Contact your supplier
for further instruction or replacement.
4.3. Do not use extension leads with the frequency inverter. This can pose a danger particularly
in the vicinity of a swimming pool.
4.4. This device should ONLY be used with PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) single speed
swimming pool pumps. See Figure 1 to see a typical single speed swimming pool
pump motor.
4.5. If you are not sure whether your pump is compatible with the frequency inverter, please
contact your supplier or manufacturer providing details of your pump.
4.6. The installation environment has a direct impact on normal function and life span of
frequency inverter, make sure the place you choose for installation meets the following
conditions:
- Ambient temperature from -10~40℃
- No direct sunlight

3
- Good ventilation
To avoid potential risk of fire, electric shock, or injuries to people,
the frequency inverter must be connected to an electrical circuit that has
earth leakage protection (RCD) of a maximum of 30mA. The circuit MUST also comply with
local and national electrical standards and safety codes.
If you are in ANY doubt please contact a qualified electrician to check your house wiring
and confirm.

upgrade.
6. INSTALLING THE FREQUENCY INVERTER
Do not expose the display to direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight
may shorten the life span of it.
6.1. Turn off all electrical power to the pool pump at the main switch or at the chlorinator which
provides electrical power to the pump.

4
6.2. The back plate has at least 4 mounting holes to choose from. Mark the hole locations on the
wall and then use the 4 fasteners supplied to secure the back plate to the wall, make sure
the frequency inverter is held securely in place.
6.3. Using 6 screws supplied, mount the frequency inverter onto the back plate.
6.4. Plug in the power cord to connect power supply socket, connect pump plug to socket
connect as shown in Fig.3
Fig 3
6.5. If you do not require a power plug for installation, connect wires as shown in Fig 4, please
Fig 4
This device weighs 3.6 kg, it is very important that it is held securely to a
firm flat surface such as a concrete wall.
7. CONNECTING FREQUENCY INVERTER TO POOL PUMP
* Only 1 pump can be connected to the frequency inverter. Please do not connect any
other appliance to the output.
* Failure to comply with this may result in damage to the device and/or appliance and
may cause severe injury, death or property damage.
*Improper installation and/or operation may also void the warranty of the frequency
inverter.
Please follow these steps when connecting the frequency inverter to a single speed (PSC)
swimming pool pump.

5
7.1. Switch off all power to your pool pump.
7.2. Unplug the pump from the main switch or the bottom of the chlorinator or timer.
7.3. Plug the pool pump into the frequency inverter power outlet marked (PUMP CONNECTION
ONLY)
To see the power consumption, you can install a power meter, but it can
only be used on the input side of the frequency inverter.
7.4. Plug the frequency inverter into the main switch/chlorinator/timer connection where the
pump was originally plugged into
7.5. Switch all power back on
7.6. Ensure chlorinator/timer is active
7.7. Now the frequency inverter is ready to run just follow the operation guide.
Do not touch the heat sink while the frequency inverter is in operation or
until at least 30 mins after it has been switched off. Keep it out of reach
.8. SETTING AND OPERATION INSTRUCTION

want based on its default value.
When plug in, power indication lights
up (green) , the device still on OFF mode.
Press to start frequency inverter. Up on
start, pump will run at maximum speed
(2900 rpm) for a one-minute self priming,
press to choose a speed range, use
or to decide on a running speed.
Upon completion of self priming, pump will switch automatically to the speed preset, a flowing
wave indicates the pump is running.
8.3 Timer setting
If you want your pump to run at different period of time or speed to take advantage of different
electricity tariffs, you can set up to 4 timers in 24hours. Follow this sequence to complete timer
setting by pressing : Current time → Timer ON → Timer OFF → Speed. Press to
return to last setting.
Step1: Press to enter timer setting interface.
Step2: Use or to set current time/Timer
ON/Timer OFF. Press to move cursor
to next setting. Press to choose a speed
range for timer 1, use or to decide on a specific speed if needed.
Step3: Repeat the steps to complete the other 3 timers’ setting.

Step4: Upon completion of timer setting, hold for 5 seconds or wait 15 seconds to save
setting, device will operate accordingly based on setting. A flashing indicates
waiting for time to start, a flowing wave indicates a running status.
Step5: press or , to check 4 timers., make sure there is no invalid setting.
Please note:
a) Overlap setting of time will be considered as invalid, in case of invalid setting, the device
will only run based on previous valid setting.
b) During the process of timer setting, if you want to abandon timer setting, hold for 3
seconds.
c) In case of no further operation or setting after 1 minute, backlight will be off , to activate
backlight, press any button (including on/off button )
8.4 External on/off control
The on/off of frequency inverter can be controlled
from third party pool controls using potential
free contacts. See Fig.5 for connection. Fig 5
Under OFF mode, connect terminal 4 and 7 to enable external control, disconnect these two to
terminate external control.
Note: Even if it’s working via external control, Press on the frequency inverter can stop the
frequency inverter.
Do not apply voltage to these inputs.
8.5 Factory setting
Under OFF mode, hold for 5 seconds to retrieve factory setting .
Please note: The frequency inverter has power-off memory, it will resume operation /setting state
upon power restoration .
Note: When over heat occurs on ‘backwash’mode, a protection mechanism kicks in for auto self
protecttion, product will automatically switch from “backwash’mode to ‘saving’mode, when over
heat relieved, product will resume backwash mode.
9. PROTECION / ERROR CODE
