1 Introduction
The VGreen® 085 is a premium efciency variable speed motor that
provides tremendous program exibility in terms of motor speed
and time settings. The variable speed VGreen 085 is intended to
enable running at the lowest speeds needed to maintain a sanitary
environment, which in turn minimizes energy consumption. Pool size,
the presence of additional water features, chemicals used to maintain
sanitary conditions, and environmental factors will impact optimal
programming necessary to maximize energy conservation.
The integrated electronics interface controls the speed settings as
well as the run durations. The VGreen 085 can run at speeds ranging
between 600 and 3450 RPM and is rated for 115 Vrms at an input
frequency of 60/50 Hz.

Note: The START button must be pressed for the VGreen 085 to
operate. The START LED will illuminate after the button has been
pressed indicating the VGreen 085 is capable of operating. Pressing
the stop button will turn off the START LED and stop the motor if
running.

user interface with the VGreen 085 motor
• Ability to conduct eld troubleshooting (i.e., view FAULT codes and
real time operating parameters).
• Ability to set a pump running schedule based on a real clock setting
(i.e., must input actual time which then determines pump start and
stop times).
• Ability to remotely mount the VGreen 270 user interface (provides
easy access of user interface depending on pump location).
• Ability to congure prime speed and prime duration.
If power is connected to the VGreen 085 motor, pressing any of the following buttons
referred to in section 2 could result in the motor starting. Failure to recognize this could
result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

• Ability to congure freeze protection temperature.
• Ability to view actual speed and power of the VGreen 085 in real time.
• Ability to adjust the VGreen 085 motor speed in 25 RPM
increments (to ne tune ow for certain pool installations).
• Battery backup to store time setting.
3 Quick Start Instruction
3.1 Quick Start Guide (Using the factory default schedule)
The following table describes the factory default settings for DURATION
and SPEED order:
Pressing the START key will start the VGreen 085 based on the factory
default schedule.
NOTE: If power is cycled to the VGreen 085 and the user does not
press the STOP key, the VGreen 085 will automatically start and run
the programmed default schedule shown in the chart above. This
feature ensures that the VGreen 085 will re-start in the event of a power
outage.

If power is connected to the VGreen 085 motor, pressing any of the following buttons
referred to in section 3 could result in the motor starting. Failure to recognize this could
result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

3.2 Quick Start Guide (User-denedcustomschedule)
A VGreen 085 user can set the program DURATION and SPEED for
STEP 1, STEP 2, STEP 3 & OVERRIDE keys.
NOTE: VGreen 085 must be Stopped (Press STOP Key) for program-
ming DURATION and SPEED of the STEP 1, STEP 2, and STEP 3
keys. OVERRIDE DURATION and SPEED can be programmed when
the VGreen 085 is either stopped or running.
Press the STEP 1 key. The STEP 1 button and DURATION setting
LEDs will illuminate. The bar graph will show default DURATION for
STEP 1.
1. Press UP (+) or DOWN (-) arrows to change the DURATION
2. Press the STEP 1 key again to change the SPEED setting.
The SPEED setting LED will illuminate. The bar graph will
show default SPEED for STEP 1.
3. Press UP (+) or DOWN (-) arrows to change the SPEED.
4. Press any STEP or OVERRIDE key to save the DURATION
and SPEED settings for STEP 1. If the user decides not to
save the settings, pressing the STOP key will revert back to the
previously stored setting.

5. Press STEP 2, STEP 3, or OVERRIDE key. Repeat steps 1- 4
to program the corresponding DURATION and SPEED for each
button.
6. Press START to run the VGreen 085 based on the pro-
grammed 24 hour schedule.
7. Pressing the STOP button will stop the VGreen 085.
NOTE: The VGreen 085 can only be set to operate on a 24-hour sched-
ule. If a user attempts to program a schedule with a combined dura-
tion for all three steps greater than 24 hours, the VGreen 085 software
will retain the current STEP time duration only, and will zero out the
other two STEP time settings. As an example, if STEP 1 equals eight
(8) hours, STEP 2 equals nine (9) hours, and STEP 3 equals eight
(8) hours – for a combined 25 hours – the VGreen 085 will retain the
setting for the current Step being programed and zero out the remain-
ing two. For details regarding the set-up of the three steps as part of a
24-hour schedule, see section 6.

4 Overview
Program customization may require some trial-and-error to determine
the most satisfactory settings as dictated by the conditions. In all cases,
setting the VGreen 085 at the lowest speed for the longest duration is
the best strategy to minimize energy consumption. However, conditions
may require running the VGreen 085 at a higher speed for some dura-
tion of time each day to maintain proper ltration to achieve satisfactory
sanitation.
The User Interface is located on top of the VGreen 085 . To the right of
the STEP buttons is the OVERRIDE button. This button can be used
to operate the VGreen 085 at speeds outside of the normal operating
schedule.

NOTICE
The VGreen 085 can and should be optimized to suit individual pool conditions. Specic
conditions including pool size, other devices, features, and environmental factors can
all impact the optimal settings.
