The Auxiliary Load is a relay inside the control designed to provide AC power to
a load that should not be energized without adequate water flow from the pump
(i.e. heater, booster pump, salt water chlorinator).
The control is designed to turn on the Auxiliary
Load relay when the pump speed is above the
MINIMUM ON SPEED (default is 2000 RPM
and primed). The Auxiliary Load relay will stay
closed as long as the pump speed is above the
MINIMUM ON SPEED. In addition, the control
can be programmed to limit the amount of
time the Auxiliary Load relay is closed in a 24-
hour period. For example, if the pump runs at
3450 RPM for 12 hours a day, but the auxiliary
load only needs to be powered for 6 hours, the user can set the MAXIMUM RUN
TIME.

The VGreen® 270 motor is equipped with both High and Low Overrides, which
can be engaged to temporarily run at higher or lower speeds between 600

pool heater startup, backflush, filtering, and for cleaner water requirements
that exist outside of the daily operating schedule. The Override Low is
recommended for low circulation requirements that exist outside of the daily
operating schedule. Once an Override (either High or Low) is completed, the

Setup allows the user to configure the following parameters:
• Freeze Protection • Reset Factory Defaults • Prime Settings
• Auxiliary Load Settings • Set Contrast Level
Setup Menu Buttons
Freeze Protection can be either enabled or disabled when the user turns the
User Interface selector knob to Setup. If it is enabled, the user will be able to set
the temperature at which the pump will turn on. The control is designed to run
the pump for 8 hours at 2600 RPM if the temperature drops below the setpoint.
This cycle will repeat and the pump will
continue to run if the outside temperature
is below the setpoint.
FREEZE PROTECTION
The Auxiliary Load is a relay inside the control designed to provide AC power to
a load that should not be energized without adequate water flow from the pump
(i.e. heater, booster pump, salt water chlorinator).
The control is designed to turn on the Auxiliary
Load relay when the pump speed is above the
MINIMUM ON SPEED (default is 2000 RPM
and primed). The Auxiliary Load relay will stay
closed as long as the pump speed is above the
MINIMUM ON SPEED. In addition, the control
can be programmed to limit the amount of
time the Auxiliary Load relay is closed in a 24-
hour period. For example, if the pump runs at
3450 RPM for 12 hours a day, but the auxiliary
load only needs to be powered for 6 hours, the user can set the MAXIMUM RUN
TIME.
1. Make certain the selector knob points to Setup.
2. Press → one time to change the Auxiliary Load settings. Press SET to
enter “change mode.” Press + or – to increase or decrease the Minimum
Speed. Press → to change the Maximum Run Time. Press the + or – to

The VGreen® 270 motor is equipped with both High and Low Overrides, which
can be engaged to temporarily run at higher or lower speeds between 600
and 3450 RPM. Override High is recommended for high flow uses such as a
pool heater startup, backflush, filtering, and for cleaner water requirements
that exist outside of the daily operating schedule. The Override Low is
recommended for low circulation requirements that exist outside of the daily
operating schedule. Once an Override (either High or Low) is completed, the
motor will automatically return to the programmed schedule.
