WARNING

Electrical

Electrical installation shall be in accordance with the national wiring rules (AS/NZS 
3000) taking into account its ratings (Class I, IPX5). The pump is supplied with a 
standard Australian 10 amp plug and 2 metres of cord. Select the correct Pool Zone 
for installation.

Using the tapped hole terminal and tin plated copper lug connect the equipotential 
bonding conductor to the pump if required. The terminal is on the motor side of the 
fl ange. Remove paint from the terminal surface and use M5x12 zinc plated screw with 
lock washer or similar to secure the termination.

An RCD with maximum rated residual current of 30mA is required for the power supply 
to the pump. Additionally, if a suitable socket outlet is not available a weatherproof 
socket must be installed by an electrician in a suitable location. RCD tripping indicates 
an electrical problem. If RCD trips and will not reset have a qualifi ed electrician inspect 
and repair electrical system.

Do not use extension leads as they are unsafe in and around the Pool Zone.

Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage pump and voids warranty.

Voltage at pump must not be more than 6% above or 
10% below motor nameplate rated voltage or pump 
may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced 
component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 
106% of rated voltage when pump is running at full load, 
consult the power company.

To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF 
power to pump and remove plug from outlet before 
working on electrical connections.

The power supply cord has a type ‘Y’ attachment and if 
service is required to the power cord, it must be replaced 
with the specialised power cord assembly by Pentair 
Water service agent or similarly qualifi ed personnel in 
order to avoid a hazard. Warranty is void if unauthorised 
modifications are made to any component.
