Variable Speed Pump to Power Center 

PCB Cable

The low voltage wiring for the variable speed pumps 

consists of the RS485 communications four conductor, 

22 AWG or larger cable. Make provision for the cable to 

be run between the pump and the power center.

 Never 

run high voltage and low voltage in the same conduit. 

Pull cable through the knockout with the Heyco fitting 

and into the low voltage compartment. Strip back jacket 

150mm. Strip each wire 6mm and connect to the red, 

4-pin connector on the power center PCB. A multiplex 

kit may be required if there are more than two cables 

running to each of the red, 4-pin connectors on the 

power center PCB. See Figure 7.

 Pump

The Pentair IntelliFlo

®

 VF LCD control panel is 

disabled when communicating with the AquaLink 

system and "DISPLAY NOT ACTIVE" will be 

displayed. Note that AquaLink M8 will not start 

communicating with the Pentair IntelliFlo VF until it 

has been configured accordingly. See the AquaLink 

Owner's Manual for more information.
Connection from the AquaLink power center PCB to the 

Pentair variable speed/flow pumps is via the two-wire 

cable. The cable pin out is shown in Figure 8.
