WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SVRS AudibleAlarm Installation and User’s Guide
A pool or spa pump must be installed by a qualified pool and spa
service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation may create an electrical hazard which
could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and
may also cause damage to property.
Pumps produces high levels of suction, which can pose extreme danger if a
person comes in close proximity to an open pool or spa drain or a loose or
broken drain cover or grate. The pump, when installed according to the manufacturer's
instructions, is designed to help prevent injuries caused by body entrapment in pools. Pumps
does not, however, protect against limb entrapments, disembowelments (when a person sits on a
broken or uncovered pool drain) or hair entanglements.
iii
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in applications other
than for which the pump was intended can result in serious personal injury or
death. These risks may include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction
entrapment or serious injury or property damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or
other system component.
PUMPS REQUIRE HIGH VOLTAGE WHICH CAN SHOCK,
BURN, OR CAUSE DEATH.
BEFORE WORKING ON PUMP!
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the
circuit breaker from the pump before servicing the
pump. Failure to do so could result in death or
serious injury to service person, pool users or
others due to electric shock.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION:
Install the pump a minimum of five (5) feet from the inside wall of the pool
and spa. Canadian installations require a minimum of three (3) meters from
pool water.
The IntelliFlo® VS+ SVRS and IntelliPro® VS+ SVRS pump is capable of
generating systems pressures up to 50 psi. Installers must ensure that all
system components are rated to withstand at least 50 psi. Over pressurizing
the system can result in catastrophic component failure or property damage.
Before attempting installation or service of the SVRS Alarm, be sure all power
to the circuit supplying AC power is disconnected/switched off at the circuit
breaker. The SVRS Alarm must be installed by a qualified professional.
Grounding (earth bonding) is required to the SVRS Alarm.

SVRS Audible Alarm Installation and User’s Guide
Two Speed Pump Controls Notice (Title 20 Compliance)
Please read the following important Safety Instructions. When using two-speed
pumps manufactured on or after January 1, 2008, the pump's default circulation
speed MUST be set to the LOWEST SPEED, with a high speed override capability
being for a temporary period not to exceed one normal cycle, or two hours, whichever
is less.
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
F
Hair Entanglement – When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping
the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the flow rating of the cover
is too small for the pump or pumps.
Limb Entrapment – When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in
a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when a drain cover is
missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.
Body Entrapment – When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover
trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the drain cover is
missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment – When a person sits on an open pool
(particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly to the
intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain
cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment – When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or
knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present
when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Pool and spa pumps move large volumes of water, which can pose extreme danger
if a person’s hair comes in close proximity to a drain that is not the proper size for the
pump or pumps.
Two Speed Pump Controls Notice (Title 20 Compliance)
Please read the following important Safety Instructions. When using two-speed pumps
manufactured on or after January 1, 2008, the pump's default circulation speed MUST
be set to the LOWEST SPEED, with a high speed override capability being for a

iv

SVRS AudibleAlarm Installation and User’s Guide
Only use a pumping system rated for the corresponding flow.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN HAIR OR BODY
ENTRAPMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. If
in doubt about the rating of your system, consult a qualified pool service profes-
sional.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Pumps are not a substitute for properly installed and secured pool
drain covers. An ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment drain cover must be
used for each drain. Pools and spas should utilize a minimum of two drains per pump.
Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering. If a cover
becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa
immediately, shut off the pump, post a notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an
appropriate VGB 2008 certified cover is properly installed. Covers deteriorate over time
due to exposure to sunlight and pool chemicals. This cover must be replaced within
seven (7) years from installation (or earlier if the cover becomes damaged in any way).

Section 1
Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) Audible Alarm
Overview
The Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) audible alarm device is designed to
be used with an IntelliFlo® VS+ SVRS pump or IntelliPro® VS+ SVRS pump.
The pump is connected to the SVRS audible alarm circuit board via a 50 ft.
two-conductor cable. The pump complies with the ASME/ANSI A112.19.17-
2002 SVRS standard which defines how fast the pump must stop on a suction
blockage event. The SVRS audible alarm activates the alarm if the pump stops
due to an SVRS blockage event on the main pool or spa suction outlet drain
cover(s).
Emergency Shut-Off Switch (ESO3) Accessory
If an Emergency Shut-Off Switch (ESO3) is connected to the SVRS Alarm
power center and an SVRS blockage event occurs, the SVRS audible alarm will
activate but the ESO3 alarm will not sound. Pressing the ESO3 button will switch
OFF AC power to the pump and activate both alarms.

IntelliFlo SVRS Pump Operation Modes
The SVRS Audible Alarm supports two pump operation modes; “SCHEDULE”
and “MANUAL.”
Schedule mode (see page 7):Each of the pump’s four speed buttons can be
scheduled for start/stop times and run speeds.
Important notes when scheduling pump start and stop times:
• To schedule the pump to run for 24 hours per day without
turning off, requires two (2) separate schedules; for example
set Speed 1 in the pump’s “Schedule Mode” to start at 8 AM
and stop at 7:59 AM and Speed 2 to start at 7:57 AM and stop
at 8:01 AM.
Note: It is not recommended to program a speed button to
run one schedule for 23 hours and 59 minutes (23:59) per
day. Program a second schedule to overlap the first
program. Refer to the example described above.
• For more information about programming the pump,

IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS and IntelliPro VS+ SVRS Pump Overview
The IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS and IntelliPro VS+ SVRS variable speed pump with the
safety vacuum release system (SVRS) protection feature operates at a maximum
system flow rate of up to 174 gallons per minute (GPM). The pump can operate
from 1100 RPM to 3450 RPM with preset speeds of 1100, 1500, 2350 and 3110
RPM. The pump can be adjusted from the pump’s control panel to run at any
speed between 1100 RPM to 3450 RPM for different applications. The pump
control panel alarm LED and error messages warn the user against under and
over voltage, high temperature, over current, suction blockage and freeze
protection with user defined minimum and maximum speed presets.
The IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS and IntelliPro VS+ SVRS pump may not protect
individuals from hair entrapment, limb entrapment or evisceration. The operator
must ensure that all suction and return fittings are clean and unobstructed
whenever the pump is started. Because SVRS protection is not enabled
during priming mode, never allow anyone in the pool during priming
mode. If SVRS auto restart is enabled and an SVRS event occurs, the pump is
allowed to restart automatically after the preset time period.
Note: The operator must insure that any SVRS blockage event is quickly
evaluated to confirm that all suction and return fittings are clean and
unobstructed. When the pump restarts after a high vacuum event it will slowly
ramp up to speed. If the pump senses a blockage it will shut down. The pump
will attempt to soft prime 10 times before attempting a full prime.
