Safety Instructions
• Do not lift, lower or handle the VSC by pulling on the electrical cord. Make sure the
electrical cable does not become excessively bent or twisted and does not rub against a
structure in a way that might damage it.
• Always turn off power or unplug the pump powered by the VSC prior to performing any
maintenance or placing your hands into the water.
ATTENTION
The TidalWave VSC is not a safety device. It will not protect
against pump damage cause by overheating due to low
water operation.
Installation
Mount the TidalWave VSC in the
desired location using two weather
resistant screws and the mounting
pockets located on the back of the
controller. The slotted pockets allow
the VSC to be easily removed from
the mounts to access the pump
connection for servicing. The VSC
should be mounted above the
ground on a wall or post away from
direct sunlight. Ensure that the VSC is
within reach of a properly grounded
GFCI outlet, and the electrical cord of
the pump that will be used.
Remove the VSC from the mounting
location and remove the cord cover
located on the back of the unit. (Fig.1)
Because electrical plugs on pumps
vary in size, a cord lock feature has
been incorporated into the VSC to
secure the pump cord and prevent
it from being accidentally removed
from the power outlet. Remove the
cord lock and plug the pump cord
into the recessed outlet located
under the cord cover. (Fig. 2) Install
the cord lock (if needed) and replace
the cord cover. (Fig. 3) Return the
VSC to the mounting location and
plug the power cord into the GFCI
power outlet.
