warning

A poor electrical connection can overheat and cause 
terminal and/or terminal board failures. Examine the 
wiring harness quick- connect terminals carefully for 
any signs of physical deterioration or loose fit to the 
terminals on the motor terminal board.
Care must be taken to assure connections are made 
to the proper terminals and adequate electrical clear-
ances are maintained.

warning

The control unit on the motor contains potentially 
hazardous voltage.

caution 

Wear safety glasses to inspect the equipment while 
it is running, especially if cover plates are removed.

notice

•  Voltage symbols vary among different multimeters and 

may be displayed as 

V AC

, AC, V, or a V beneath a wavy 

line. Select the correct symbol and set the multimeter to the 
voltage closest to the voltage you are measuring.

•  Read all instructions thoroughly and be familiar with the 

equipment before installing or working on it.

•  The PerfectSpeed® motor is properly packaged for  ship-

ment and storage and should be kept in a clean and dry 
indoor area.

Overview

The interface board communicates with the motor control to 
operate the motor in speed mode. The operating parameters 
are programmed in the 

eeprom

 of the motor control, not the 

PerfectSpeed® User Interface. On power up the interface board 
extracts the operating parameters from the motor control. 
Parameter categories include:
•  Motor direction
•  Motor mode of operation
•  Motor output display
•  Motor profile

PerfectSpeed® user interface box

The PerfectSpeed® operates in speed mode when connected to 
the pump. You can adjust the demand of the motor manually 
using the PerfectSpeed® User Interface. The motor information 
displayed in the User Interface is outlined in 

Table 

1

. If the 

motor encounters a problem, the User Interface displays a 
corresponding error code. These are outlined in 

Table 

1

 as well.
