5.3.2 Programming the Variable Speed Pump
This section describes how to program a variable speed pump.
A variable speed pump can be programmed to run at any one of its eight (8) speeds. If the variable speed pump is used
for pool filtration, then it will be powered from the FILTER PUMP relay. Therefore to program the variable speed
pump you must first set a program time for the FILTER PUMP, then you need to program the pump speeds to turn
on/off during the FILTER PUMP cycle. If you do not program any speeds to run during the filtration cycle, then by
default the variable speed pump will run at the POOL speed setting during its filtration cycle.
Example:
1. The total length of the filtration cycle is to be from 8am to 5pm, therefore, program the FILTER PUMP
to turn on at 8am and to turn off at 5pm.
