Thank you for purchasing the TidalWave Variable Speed Controller (VSC). The TidalWave
VSC is intended for use with TidalWave TW and TT Series asynchronous pumps. The
TidalWave VSC allows the user to set both on and off times as well as drop to 25% of the
total flow, in 10 levels of adjustment, manually via the control panel or by wireless remote.
To avoid an accident do not use the TidalWave VSC in any way other than as described
in this manual. Please note the manufacturer cannot be responsible for accidents arising
because the product was not used as prescribed. After reading this manual keep it as a
reference in case questions arise during use.
Prior to Operation and Installation
Before the VSC is installed, perform the following checks:
• Check for any damage to VSC control box and power cable that may have occurred
during shipment.
• Check the model number to make sure it is the product that was ordered and verify the
voltage and frequency are correct.
Caution
• DO NOT operate this product under any conditions other than those for which it is
specified. Failure to observe these precautions can lead to electrical shock, product
failure or other problems.
• Follow all aspects of electrical codes when installing the TidalWave VSC.
• Power supply must be within 110-120 volt range and 60 Hz.
• This product is equipped with overload protection, <150 percent of the full load
current rating.
• Never use an extension cord with this product. The VSC must be plugged directly into
an electrical outlet.
• This product should be installed and/or stored in an area that is protected from weather
exposure. It must be mounted off the ground close to the power source. Failure to do
so will void the warranty.
• The TidalWave VSC is intended for use with TidalWave TW and TT-Series
asynchronous pumps.
CAUTION: THIS TIDALWAVE VSC IS TO BE USED IN A CIRCUIT PROTECTED BY A GROUND
FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER.
CAUTION: THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN EVALUATED FOR USE WITH ASYNCHRONOUS WET
ROTOR PUMPS ONLY. DO NOT USE WITH MAGNETIC INDUCTION OR DIRECT DRIVE PUMPS.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - THIS PRODUCT IS SUPPLIED WITH A
GROUNDING CONDUCTOR AND GROUNDING-TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG. TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BE CERTAIN THAT IT IS CONNECTED ONLY TO A
PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE PROTECTED BY A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERUPTER (GFCI).
Electrical Safety
• Electrical wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable safety regulations. Incorrect wiring can cause VSC failure, pump malfunction,
electrical shock or fire.
• All TidalWave pumps and TidalWave VSC should operate on a designated, 110/120
volt circuit.
• TidalWave VSC must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• TidalWave VSC must be plugged into a standard, properly grounded, three
pronged outlet.
