Safety Precautions
Read and follow all instructions in the owner’s manual and on the equipment. This
guide does not supersede the owner’s manual. Failure to follow instructions can
cause severe injury and/or death.
This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.
All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with all applicable local codes,
regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock,
burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a
properly located electrical receptacle. Before working on drive or motor, turn off
power supply to the drive.
Failure to bond to bonding lug of drive to pool structure will increase risk for
electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how
to bond drive. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local
electrical codes for bonding requirements.

•TriStar VS SP3200VSP, can operate by itself in
Stand-alone Mode, or be controlled from third party
controls and Hayward controls that are not software
compatible, by using relay contacts and/or an
actuator port. SP3200VSP includes a control
interface on the pump. This model cannot
communicate with controllers.
•TriStar VS SP3200VSPND, can communicate with
and be controlled by Hayward automation systems,
such as ProLogic or OnCommand controllers.
SP3200VSPND does not have a control interface
on the pump and a control interface cannot be
installed on this model.
TriStar VS Overview
TriStar VS is available in the following two models:

Installation - Plumbing
New Pools: When installing the TriStar VS on a new pool, care should
be taken to ensure proper pipe and equipment sizing to
handle the maximum flow required (fig 1).
Existing Pools: When installing the TriStar VS on existing pools, care
should be taken to insure the maximum flow does not
exceed the capacity of the pipe and equipment* (fig 1).
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED SYSTEM FLOW RATE BY PIPE SIZE
1.5” Plumbing
38 GPM @ 6 fps
51 GPM @ 8 fps
2” Plumbing
63 GPM @ 6 fps
84 GPM @ 8 fps
2.5” Plumbing
90 GPM @ 6 fps
119 GPM @ 8 fps
3” Plumbing
138 GPM @ 6 fps
184 GPM @ 8 fps
* Refer to equipment manuals for flow rates.

Note: Length of pipe (L) between pump suction port and first elbow or
fitting should be at least 5 times pipe size.

Installation –SP3200VSP Electrical
1. Remove the two screws securing the control interface to the motor drive. (fig. 2)
2. Disconnect the cable that connects the motor drive to the interface. (fig. 3)
3. Loosen the three screws securing the interface mounting plate to the motor drive and remove the
interface mounting plate to gain access to the drive wiring compartment. Note the screw location for re-
installation. (fig. 4)
4. Disconnect the short cable on the interface mounting plate from the RS485 terminal block on the drive
PCB. Note the screws on the RS485 face upwards. (fig. 5)

Installation–Interface removal/positioning
1. Remove the two screws as
shown (fig 9).
2. Remove the interface assembly
as shown (fig10).
3. Reposition interface assembly
as shown (fig 11, 12, 13) and re-
secure with the two screws (fig
9).
The interface assembly on model
SP3200VSP can be configured in
four different positions.

Installation–Interface /Wall mount
SP3200VSP Models only
A wall mount kit (SPX3400DRKIT) can be used to remotely mount the interface. The kit includes a blank
cover, mounting bracket, and new terminal block for connecting to the interface assembly. Maximum 500’
for data cable used for wall mount or control connection.
Figure 15 Figure 16 Figure 14
Page 8
1. Remove the interface assembly , interface mounting plate, and cable (Page 8).
2. Mount the wall mount plate in the desired location with the interface cable. (fig. 14)
3. Connect the interface cable to the motor drive RS485 (fig. 15) and interface PCB (fig. 16).
4. Mount the interface to the wall mount plate.
5. Install the blank cover on the motor drive (fig 17).
6. Dip Switches #1 & #2 on the drive must be “ON.”
Figure 17

1. Maximum 500’ for data cable. The data cable needs to be run through the data conduit opening.
2. Remove the 4 connector data plug from the controller (fig 18) and the RS485 data plug (COMBUS &
DISPLAY) from the wiring compartment on the pump (fig 19) . Wire “A” on the pump to 2 on the controller,
“B” on the pump to 3 on the controller as shown (fig 18 & 19). Reinstall plugs.

Installation-Hayward/Goldline Controls
SP3200VSPND Models only (Compatible software shown below)
Note: When connecting high voltage for a TriStar VS that is data connected to a Hayward/Goldline control,
voltage needs to come directly from a breaker in the control, or in the case of an OnCommand, directly from the
main or sub-panel and not from the filter pump relay.
RS485 Pump Data Plug

Software versions necessary to operate the TriStar VSP SP3200VSPND
Aqua Logic/Pro Logic/Aqua Plus v2.65 or higher OnCommand 1.00 or higher
E-Command 4 (Original E-Command not compatible) v2.80 or higher
Installation-Hayward/Goldline Controls

Note: If model of
controller does not
qualify based on the
table above, then
either the
controller's main
circuit board will
need to be replaced
or the SP3200VSP
will need to be used
in relay mode.

If an open actuator port is not available, or more than 4 speeds is needed, one of the existing ports
being used can be piggybacked in some situations. The wiring for this tie-in is shown below. Care
needs to be taken to ensure that the speed being used corresponds with the use of the actuator, since
both will be activated simultaneously .

Incoming 230 VAC to Pump

Filter Pump Replay AUX Relay AUX Relay AUX Relay
1. Pump power (230 VAC) needs to be brought into the “line in” contacts on the Filter Pump
Relay from a breaker in the control box. The “load out” side will feed the incoming high
voltage for the pump.

2. DC voltage from RS485 needs to be brought into the “line in” contacts on the Aux Relays
being used. Load out from the Aux Relays will go to Step 1, 2 , or 3 as needed. “COM” on
RS485 connects to “ICOM” on pump interface.

3. The number of speeds available depends on the number of
aux relays used.
•Filter pump relay plus 1 auxiliary relay allows control of 2 speeds.
•Filter pump relay plus 2 auxiliary relays allows control of 4 speeds.
•Filter pump relay plus 3 auxiliary relays allows control of 8 speeds.

Installation–Remote Stop Switch
1. Wire the remote stop switch to terminals “OVRD” and “ICOM” on Digital Input block of pump.
Note: The emergency switch needs to be a latching style that is normally open (NO). Some switches have wiring for
both NO and NC (normally Closed). Refer to the e-switch for its internal wiring. When the switch is pressed the 24v
circuit is completed and the pump will shut down operation.
