1. GENERAL POINTS
This manual is complementary to the standard instal-
lation manual for the swimming pool pumps.
The instructions we provide are intended to ensure
the proper installation and optimum performance of
swimming pool water circulation pumps equipped
with Silenplus® frequency inverter and
ControlSystem® valve position sensor.
Read these instructions before installing.
Keep them for future reference.
Following the installation and usage instruc-
tions and the electrical connection diagrams
correctly ensures that the equipment will work
properly.
Ignoring any of the instructions in this manual
can lead to all kinds of consequences for
which we accept no responsibility.
1.1 Product description
Silenplus pumps equip a standard electric motor
with a built-in frequency inverter. They are designed
for a single phase connection.
They have a radio-frequency transmitter to com-
municate with the ControlSystem® and a
Bluetooth® connection for remote control using
smartphone applications.
The ControlSystem® sensor is the position detector
for a standard swimming pool filter 6-way multiport
valve. It is equipped with electronic sensors for polar
positioning and to control the motor.
The joint working of Silenplus pumps and the
ControlSystem enables full control of the pump
functions just by operating the filter valve.
1.2 Silenplus Evopool®functions
Filtration Plus:
System which achieves filtration optimisation to in-
crease efficiency, with the resulting electricity saving,
while adding a cycle to increase the effectiveness of
pool surface cleaning.
EFFECTIVENESS: work cycles specially developed
for use in pools achieve maximum effectiveness.
SAVINGS: a minimum of 80% electricity savings
over standard pumps, with the resulting cost savings.
Backwash Plus:
Backwash system which, thanks to a specially
developed cycle, increases process efficiency while
shortening cleaning time, drastically reducing the
amount of water used for efficient cleaning.
EFFECTIVENESS: reduction of backwash time and
improved filter-cleaning efficiency.
SAVINGS: a minimum of 25% water savings over
standard pumps.

3.3 ControlSystem installation
Fit the ControlSystem to the multiport filter valve
control. (See figure 1)
 Select a location as near as possible to the turn-
ing centre.
 Clean the surface with alcohol.
 Lift the protective stickers and plug the
ControlSystem into the chosen place.
 Watch the "ControlSystem" position. Screw
area should be closer to the rotation axis.
 Secure the assembly by tightening the tape under
the control. Check that it is fixed properly.
4. START-UP
4.1 Starting up the equipment.
Follow the installation manual instructions for the
pump to start it up properly.
4.2. Initial configuration
The first time you start it up you need to link
Silenplus with ControlSystem (See figure 2)
WARNING: It is very important to follow the
order of the operations described here:
4.2.1 Starting up the Evopool
 Connect the Silenplus pump to the power supply.
The system will start up and a set of lights indicates
that it has been activated.
If a ControlSystem has not already been linked to it,
the pump will not start up.
Silenplus is on standby waiting for the link to be es-
tablished. The 3 leds flash together.
4.2.2 Activating the ControlSystem
To prevent the battery running out before the equip-
ment is started up, the ControlSystem has an
internal ON/OFF switch that must be activated (See
figure 2)
CAUTION: Do not approach magnetic ele-
ments to ControlSystem during this
operation.
Ensure that no magnetic fields can affect the
proper operation of the system.
WITH THE PUMP CONNECTED TO THE
ELECTRICAL CURRENT (see 4.2.1):
 Make sure the valve is in the intermediate posi-
tion between 1 and 4
 Lift the cover, loosening the screw.
 Activate the ControlSystem by moving the mini-
switch to the "ON” position.
When the battery is connected, ControlSystem
transmits a unique code for an interference-free
link. Flashing leds indicate that proper communica-
tion has been achieved. The green LED will light.
 Replace the cover and fix it with the screw.
Torque: 0.2 Nm.
4.2.3 Calibrating the ControlSystem
The 6 valve positions must be indicated to the sys-
tem. For this purpose, use the following calibration
process (See Figure 3):
1 - Move the valve control to position 4.
Wait for the green LED is illuminated.
2 - Move the valve control to position 6.
Wait for the green LED is illuminated.
3 - Move the valve control to position 2.
Wait for the green LED is illuminated.
4 - Move the valve control to position 5.
Wait for the green LED is illuminated.
5 - Move the valve control to position 3.
Wait for the green LED is illuminated.
6 - Move the valve control to position 1.
The pump will start up in Auto Filtration Plus mode.
The corresponding LED will come on.
4.3 Multiple system
In an installation with several pieces of equipment,
Silenplus must be started up and the
ControlSystem activated in order.
Each piece of equipment is linked using a unique
code to prevent interference between them.
A Silenplus pump in standby mode will be linked to
the first ControlSystem activated.
WARNING: activate the ControlSystem of
the valve for the pump on standby.
4.4 In the absence of ControlSystem
If you do not have ControlSystem or prefer not to
use it, the system can work just as well manually.
Ignore the activation and calibration operations,
switch to Manual mode and then connect the
Silenplus.
4.5 Changing the ControlSystem
If it is necessary to replace the ControlSystem in a
system that is already linked, you will need to delete
the old serial number before linking the new one.
To do this, with the Silenplus pump connected to the
power supply, keep the F button pressed down for
10 seconds. Flashing leds indicate that the operation
has been carried out correctly.
The previous serial number will be deleted and the
system will go into “link standby” mode. Proceed as
indicated in 4.2.2.

5. OPERATION
5.1 AUTO mode
This is the default operating mode.
The pump carries out the most appropriate function
considering the position of the filter valve. (See fig. 3)
In FILTRATION position: Filtration Plus function
 In BACKWASH position: Backwash Plus func-
tion
 In CLOSED position: pump stopped.
 In any of the other positions: the pump operates
at 100% power.
 When you operate the valve control, the pump
stops automatically to make the valve movement
easier.
 In any intermediate position, the pump remains
stopped.
To change the working mode, simply move the valve
to the desired position.
To prevent accidental operation, the elec-
tronic response is delayed by 1 second. The
flashing red LED indicates that proper com-
munication has been achieved.
Move the valve gently.
WARNING: the valve configuration must cor-
respond to the 6 standard positions, according
to figure 3.
For other valve configurations, contact your technical
service.
5.2 MANUAL mode
When you press the M key, Silenplus ignores the
ControlSystem signal and runs one of the pre-set
functions:
The MANUAL LED comes on.
The pump starts up at a fixed, programmable speed.
The standard setting is 2,300 RPM (40 Hz). This is
what is known as the MIXED CYCLE (MISC.
CYCLE).
If you press the F key, it runs through the various
Silenplus functions in sequence.
Between each function, the pump stops to allow
valve movement or other operations.
The sequence is:
1. Mixed cycle (MISC. CYCLE).
2. Stop.
3. Filtration Plus.
4. Stop.
5. Backwash Plus.
6. Stop.
7. Mixed cycle...
The lit leds indicates the function selected at all times.
When you press the M button again, you leave Man-
ual mode to go back to Auto.
5.3 No water fault and retries.
In Filtration Plus mode, the system is regularly
monitored to check that the pump is not operating
without water.
If Silenplus detects the pump is working without wa-
ter it stops the motor.
The system will attempt to start up again after 1', 5',
15' and 1 hour (Fig. 5). If the retries fail, Evopool will
remain in permanent fault mode.
An LED sequence indicates the fault status. (See
section 9)
To interrupt the retry cycle or to restart from perma-
nent fault mode, press the F key.
5.4 System status
Espa offers installers and users the EspaEvopool
application for monitoring the system status and in-
teracting with Silenplus.
They must have a Smartphone with Bluetooth
connectivity and install the application
EspaEvopool available in www.espa.com
and in PlayStore or AppStore.
With this app, it is possible to switch between Man-
ual/Auto modes and use all functions.
6. ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
