ety

precautions should always be followed, include the following:

Do not permit children to use this produ

ct.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Connect only to a

branch circuit protected by a ground-faul

t circuit

interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot

verify that the

circuit is protected by a GFCI.

This unit must be connected only to a s

upply circuit

that is protected by a ground-fault circuit

(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and s

hould be

tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test but

ton.

The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. P

ower should be

restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI

is defective

the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button

being pushed,

a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an elec

tric shock. Do

not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the probl

em corrected

by a qualified service representative before using.

This pump is for use with permanent swi

mming pools

may also be used with hot tubs and spa

s if so

marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-install

ed pool is

constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it c

annot be

readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is construct

ed so that it is

capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reasse

mbled to its

original integrity.

Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide

PUMP OVERVIEW

Variable Speed Pump can be programmed to run

at specific speeds and time intervals for maximum

operating efficiency and energy conservation for a

variety of inground pools.

•The pump can operate from 450 RPM to 3450

RPM with four preset speeds of 750, 1500, 2350

and 3110 RPM

•The pump can be adjusted from the control panel

to run at any speed between 450 RPM to 3450

RPM for different applications

•Up to 8 programmable speeds

•Pump control panel alarm LED and error

messages warn the user against under and over

voltage, high temperature, over current and

freezing

•Programmable priming mode with automatic

detection of prime for easy start-up

•Compatible with most cleaning systems, filters,

and jet action spas

Drive Assembly and Control Panel

The Variable Speed pump drive is designed to produce

maximum motor operational efficiency. The drive controls

the motor’s rotational speed by controlling the frequency of

the supplied current. It also protects the motor and pump

from operating outside of their intended operating

parameters.

The control panel can be mounted on the pump in four

different directions in orderto provide the user the best

access.

Motor Features

•High Efficiency Permanent Magnet Synchronous

Motor (PMSM)

•Superior speed control

•Operates at lower temperatures due to high

efficiency

•Designed to withstand outdoor environment

•Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) Motor

•48 Square Flange

•Low noise

INSTALLATION

Electrical Requirements

• Install all equipment in accordance with the

National Electrical Code and all applicable local

codes and ordinances

• A means for disconnection must be incorporated in

the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

Location

Note: Do not install this pump within an outer enclosure or

beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless marked accordingly.

Note: Ensure that the pump is mechanically secured to the

equipment pad.

Be sure the pump location meets the following

requirements:

1. Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible. To

reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, use short, direct

suction piping returns.

2. Install a minimum of 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the inside wall

of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require a

minimum of 9.8 feet (3 meters) from pool water level.

3. Install the pump a minimum of 3 feet (.9 meters) from the

heater outlet.

4. Do not install the pump more than 10 feet (3.1 meters)

above the water level.

5. Install the pump in a well ventilated location protected from

excessive moisture (i.e., rain gutter downspouts,sprinkler

etc.)

6. Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least 3 inches(76.

mm) so thatthe motor can be removed easily for

maintenance and repair. See Figure 1.

Piping

1. For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a

larger pipe size. When installing the inlet and outlet fitting

(male adaptors), use thread sealant.

2. Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the

same or larger than the return line diameter.

3. Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as shor

as possible.

4. It isrecommended that a valve, elbow or tee installed

in the suction line should be no closer to the front of the

pump than five (5) times the suction line pipe diameter. See

Figure 2.

Example:

A 2 inch pipe requires a 10 inch (254 mm) straightrun in front

of the suction inlet of the pump).

This will help the pump prime faster and last longer.

Figure 2: Recommended Piping

Figure 1: Pump Rear and Overhead Clearance

Fittings and Valves

1. Do not install 90°elbows directly into pump inlet.

2. Flooded suction systems should have gate valves

installed on suction and discharge pipes for

maintenance, however, the suction gate valve should

be no closer than five times the suction pipe

diameter as described in this section.

3. Use a check valve in the discharge line when using this

pump for any application where there is significant

height to the plumbing after the pump.

4. Besure to install check valves when plumbing in

parallel with another pump. This helps prevent

reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.

Only a qualified plumbing professional should install the Variable Speed Pump. Refer to “Important Pump Warning And

Safety Instructions”on pages ii - iii for additional installation and safety information.

Electrical Installation

Note: ALWAYS reinstall the drive l

id onto the field wiring compartment when leaving the pump

unsupervised during servicing.

This will prevent foreign matter (i.e

. rainwater, dust, etc.) from accumulating in the drive.

Wiring

1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switche

s are turned

off before wiring motor.

2. Be sure that the supply voltage meets the r

equirements

listed on the motor nameplate. If these req

uirements are

not met, permanent motor damage may oc

cur.

3. For wiring sizes and general guidelines for

proper

electrical installation, please follow the spe

cifications

defined in the National Electric Code and a

ny local codes

as required.

4. Use strain relief and be sure all electrical

connections

are clean and tight.

5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length

so they do

not overlap or touch when connected.

6. Reinstall the keypad cover after wiring t

he pump

2. Close all valves in suction and discharge

pipes.

Relieve all pressure from the system.

3. Remove the pump lid and locking ring.

4. Fill the pump strainer pot with water

5. Reassemble the pump lid and locking

ring onto the

strainer basket. The pump is now ready

to prime.

6. Open all valves in suction and discharg

DO NOT run the pump dry.

If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking.

If this occurs, the damaged

seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool

(half way up skimmer opening). If the water level

falls below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air through the skimmer, losing the prime

and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in

a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressu

damage to the pump case, impeller and seal and

may cause property and personal injury.
