Controller Overview

The Variable Speed Pump uses a premium efficiency variable speed motor that provides tremendous program
flexibility in terms of motor speed and duration settings. The pump is intended to run at the lowest speeds needed to
maintain a sanitary environment, which in turn minimizes energy consumption. Pool size, the presence of additional.

This pump is for use with 230 Vrms nominal, and in pool pump applications ONLY.
Connection to the wrong voltage, or use in other application may cause damage to equipment or personal injury.

The integrated electronics interface controls the speed settings as well as the run durations. The pump can operate at
speeds ranging between 450 and 3450 RPM and will operate within the voltage range of 230 Vrms at either 50 or 60Hz
input frequency. Program customization may require some trial-and-error to determine the most satisfactory settings as
dictated by the conditions. In most cases, setting the pump at the lowest speed for the longest duration is the best
strategy to minimize energy consumption. However, conditions may require running the pump at a higher speed for
some duration of time each day to maintain proper filtration to achieve satisfactory sanitation.

NOTICE:

Optimize the pump to suit individual pool conditions. Specific conditions including pool size, other

devices, features and environmental factors can all impact the optimal settings.

CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW

If power is connected to the Variable Speed Pump motor, pressing any of the following buttons referred to in this
section could result in the motor starting. Failure to recognize this could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
