4.9. Wiring
WARNING
– All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National
Electric Code (NEC).
1.
Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same
circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the
circuit breaker as the master On-Off switch.
2.
If the LifeStar® VS pump is being used to replace an existing pump that was controlled by a
separate mechanical time clock, the LifeStar® VS pump should be connected directly to the line
power supply, bypassing the time clock. The time clock can then be used to power other equipment
that requires the filter pump to be operating when used. If the time clock is used in this manner, it
should be set to power the equipment during a time cycle when the LifeStar® VS pump is operating
at an appropriate flow rate to operate the other equipment, as defined by the timers set in the Timer
Menu. See section 6.7
4.10. Remote Control Wiring/Operation
The LifeStar® VS pump can be controlled in a wide variety of ways as described below:
1.
LifeStar® VS pumps can operate by itself in Stand-Alone Mode using its built-in programmable
timers.
2.
LifeStar® VS pumps can communicate and be controlled by a variety of Hayward controls. See
Section 5.3 for more information regarding connecting the LifeStar® VS pump and Hayward
controls.
3.
LifeStar® VS pumps can also be controlled from third party controls (i.e. another manufacturer's
control) using relay contacts. See Section 5.4 for more information regarding connections with the
LifeStar® VS pump and third party controls.
USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
