Setup Menu Buttons
Freeze Protection can be either enabled or disabled when the user turns the
User Interface selector knob to Setup. If it is enabled, the user will be able to set
the temperature at which the pump will turn on. The control is designed to run
the pump for 8 hours at 2600 RPM if the temperature drops below the setpoint.
Freeze Protection
The Auxiliary Load is a relay inside the control designed to provide AC power to
a load that should not be energized without adequate water flow from the pump
(i.e. heater, booster pump, salt water chlorinator).
The control is designed to turn on the Auxiliary
Load relay when the pump speed is above the
MINIMUM ON SPEED (default is 2000 RPM).
The Auxiliary Load relay will stay closed as
long as the pump speed is above the MINI-
MUM ON SPEED. In addition, the control can
be programmed to limit the amount of time
the Auxiliary Load relay is closed in a 24-hour
period. For example, if the pump runs at 3450
RPM for 12 hours a day, but the auxiliary load
only needs to be powered for 6 hours, the user can set the MAXIMUM RUN
TIME.
1. Make certain the selector knob points to Setup.
2. Press → one time to change the Auxiliary Load settings. Press SET to
enter “change mode.” Press + or – to increase or decrease the Minimum
Speed. Press → to change the Maximum Run Time. Press the + or – to
