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

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)
