state,local and National electrical codes.
Permanent connection of “Hot” supply wires (power
wires that supply voltage) should be from a 2-pole
device (Circuit breaker, relay, timer, etc.) that open-
circuits all hot supply wires when the motor control
is “OFF”. Failure to use a 2-pole device will result
in voltage being present at the motor/control and
potential shock hazard.
All electrical connections should be made and
maintained by a qualied or licensed electrician.
WARNING
!
Although the ECOTECH EZTM motor/
control is a totally enclosed product, rare circumstances,
such as but not limited to; i.e., motor submersion due
to ood or high pressure water stream aimed directly at
motor, might allow water to inltrate the motor/control. If
this occurs, the unit shall be serviced by a qualied service
person before operating or applying power. Wet internal
components may cause a shock hazard
CAUTION
!
To avoid accidents, make sure equipment
is properly protected to prevent access by children or other
unauthorized personnel.
CAUTION
!
Make sure there are no unusual noises or
vibrations when the motor/control is running. If noise and
vibration are apparent, see the General Troubleshooting
issues on page 25.
WARNING
!

ECOTECH EZTM Variable Speed Motor/Control
Your ECOTECH EZTM Motor/Control has been functionally
tested for pool pump use before shipment. It is also
preprogrammed to be a drop-in replacement for a standard
single or two-speed pool pump motor with only minor
programming required. To operate the motor/control, the
installer must rst set the time of day and the day of the
week. Please see related informations of this manual for
more specic information.
Re-inspect the installation and make sure that guards
and other protective devices are securely in place. All
covers and gaskets must be re-installed prior to startup
to minimize the entry of dirt and moisture.
Blocked pump indicates there is an obstruction. Basic
startup instructions are under the lid of the user interface.
Detailed motor/control startup instructions begin on
page 9 of this manual. In addition to these motor
installation procedures, please follow all Startup &
Operation instructions in your pump manual.
The motor/control is designed to be operated on a 230
volt, 60 Hz nominal power supply. The suitable voltage
range is 207-253 volts under rated load conditions.
“Hot” power connections should only be connected to the
L1 and L2 terminals of the above pictured motor/control
conduit box connection area and supply ground (Green
or Green with Yellow insulated lead wire) to the ground
screw provided in this same connection area. Permanent
eld wiring should be from a 2-pole device. See Important
Safety Instructions Section, Items a through d (page 5)
If AC power is supplied by a GFCI circuit breaker, use a
properly sized dedicated circuit that has no other electrical
loads. Use of a GFCI circuit with electrical loads other than
the ECOTECH EZ motor/control could result in nuisance
tripping. See Important Safety Instructions Section for
more information.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the power
and allow the motor to come to a complete stop then wait
ve(5) minutes before servicing.
This motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
No further lubrication is recommended or required.
The motor/control is designed to operate at variable
speed over a range of 1035 to 3450 RPM (revolutions
per minute of the motor shaft). To make the product
more understandable to use in pool pump applications,
“FLOW” ( versus “SPEED” in RPM) terminology is used to
represent changes in pump water output in both the user
manual instructions and on the user interface display. A
motor operational speed of 1035 RPM displays as “30%
FLOW”, 1725 RPM displays as “50% FLOW”, and 3450
RPM displays as “100% FLOW”. The Actual “% FLOW”
rates will vary with the length of piping sections, use of
ttings (elbows, tees, etc.), lters, heaters, and other
components that affect system friction and efciency,
therefore, the “% FLOW” reading should only be used as
an estimate of the actual system operating ow rate. When
designing or calculating water turnover/exchange, the use
of a properly calibrated and sized ow gauge should be
used to determine actual operating ow rate (GPM) at the
various operational speeds of the motor/control.

ECOTECH EZTM Variable Speed Motor/Control
If the button is illuminated, the motor is in the
RUN mode. If the Clock is set and the time of day and day
of week corresponds to a scheduled Program On time,
the motor will automatically ramp up to speed within a
few seconds. Be aware the unit will start in Prime mode
running at full speed for four minutes. After the priming
period has expired, the pump will operate at the ow
percent demanded by the operating mode which caused
the pump to start. When the unit is in Prime mode, the
word “MAX” will ash above the percentage ow indicator.
Pressing the button followed by the
button will start the pump in the current Custom Flow
1 setting. To start the pump in the Custom Flow # 2 setting,
press twice before pressing ;
Press the button three (3) times then
press to Run Custom Flow 3 and Press the
button Four (4) times then press the
button to start the pump in the Run Custom Flow 4 mode.
Press the RUN/STOP button to stop the pump.
The button will no longer be illuminated.
The button must be illuminated. The
motor/control will turn on and off automatically at the
programmed start and stop times and it will operate at
the programmed ow rates. The LCD screen will display
the current operating ow rate in percentage of maximum
format, the current time of day, the current day of the
week, and the current or next Program Schedule that
will run. The Program Schedule may be overridden by
pressing the button or by pressing
the button.
The user interface includes two programmable % Flow
time periods for weekdays, Monday through Friday, and
two programmable % Flow steps for weekends, Saturday
and Sunday. These are the times at which the motor/
control will turn on and operate at the programmed
percentage ow until the time scheduled for Time Off.
Mon – Fri Flow 1: 7:30AM Time On and 4:00PM Time Off
running at 50% Flow
Mon – Fri Flow 2: 4:00PM Time On and 6:00PM Time Off
running at 70% Flow
Sat –Sun Flow 1: 7:30AM Time On and 4:00PM Time Off
running at 50% Flow
Sat – Sun Flow 2: 4:00PM Time On and 6:00PM Time Off
running at 70% Flow
Mon – Fri Flow 1: 7:30AM Time On and 8:00PM Time Off
running at 40% Flow
Mon – Fri Flow 2: 4:00PM Time On and 6:00PM Time Off
running at 70% Flow
Sat –Sun Flow 1: 7:30AM Time On and 8:00PM Time Off
running at 45% Flow
Sat – Sun Flow 2: 4:00PM Time On and 6:00PM Time Off
running at 75% Flow
During the weekdays, the pump will run at 40% ow from
7:30AM until 4:00PM then run at 70% ow from 4:00PM to
6:00PM. At 6:00PM, the pump will revert back to the 40%
Flow rate until 8:00PM. The same logic also applies to the
above weekend program schedule. This feature could be
used to save energy dollars by running the pump longer
hours at slower ow rates while allowing for higher ow
operation during cleaning or high trafc periods.
NOTICE
!
Please follow all instructions from the
pump manufacturer’s product manual regarding the pump
priming operation.
Every time the pump starts from an Off condition (0%
Flow), to ensure the pump is properly primed, the pump
will ramp to full speed (100% Flow) for four minutes.
When this occurs, the MAX icon will be ashing above
the percentage ow indicator. After the priming time has
expired, the pump will operate at the ow percent that is
shown in the display. If it is less than 100%, the MAX icon
will turn off.
