Installation & Operation Manual
CAUTION
The pump must be permanently connected to a
dedicated electrical circuit. No other equipment,
lights, appliances, or outlets may be connected to the
pump circuit.

Electrical Wiring
1. The pump motor must be securely and adequately
grounded using the green screw provided. Ground
before attempting to connect to an electrical power
supply. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
2. Wire size must be adequate to minimize voltage
drop during the start-up and operation of the pump.
3. Insulate all connections carefully to prevent
grounding or short-circuits. Sharp edges on
terminals require extra protection. For safety, and to
prevent entry of contaminants, reinstall all conduit
and terminal box covers. Do not force connections
into the conduit box.
NOTE
When power alone is supplied to this pump, it will
not operate. It requires a digital command sent to it by
either a variable speed controller (JEP-R), an iQPUMP01
controller, an AquaLink
®
RS controller, an AquaLink Pool
Digital Assistant (PDA), or an AquaLink Z4™, to operate
at a chosen speed.
Bonding and Grounding
1. In addition to being properly grounded as
described in
Electrical Wiring
section, and
in accordance with the requirements of the
National Electrical Code (NEC), or in Canada the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), the pump motor
must be bonded to all metal parts of the swimming
pool, spa or hot tub structure and to all electrical
components and equipment associated with the
pool/spa water circulation system.
2. The bonding must be accomplished by using a solid
copper conductor, No. 8 AWG or larger. In Canada
No. 6 AWG or larger must be used. Bond the motor
using the external bonding lug provided on the
motor frame.
3. National Electrical Code® (NEC®) requires
bonding of the Pool Water. Where none of the
bonded pool equipment, structures, or parts are
in direct connection with the pool water; the pool
water shall be in direct contact with an approved
corrosion-resistant conductive surface that exposes
not less than 5800 mm² (9 in²) of the surface area
to the pool water at all times. The conductive
surface shall be located where it is not exposed
to physical damage or dislodgement during usual
pool activities, and it shall be bonded in accordance
with the bonding requirements of NEC Article
680. Refer to your locally enforced codes for any
additional bonding requirements
WARNING
Always disconnect the power source before working
on a motor or its connected load. Allow five (5)
minutes before servicing unit.
WARNING
Make sure that the control switch, time clock, or
control system is installed in an accessible location,
so that in the event of an equipment failure or a loose
plumbing fitting, the equipment can be turned off. This
location must not be in the same area as the pool
pump, filter, and other equipment.
