Setting up an IntelliFlo VF pump with IntelliComm II
The IntelliFlo VF pump can operate with all of its stand alone features if desired. For example the pump can run filter cycles, egg timer
features 1 and 2 and time of day scheduling of features 3-9. If IntelliComm II sends the pump a command when the pump is running
the filter cycle or features 3-9, the IntelliComm II command takes priority regardless of flow rate.
IntelliComm II will not interrupt
nor take priority over Features 1 or 2.
For the IntelliFlo VF to accept a command from the IntelliComm II the pump must be in the “Running” mode. To place the IntelliFlo
VF in “Running” mode, press the
Filter mode button
, then press the
Start/Stop button
. The led above the Start/Stop button must be
lit for the IntelliFlo VF to accept commands from the IntelliComm II.
The default “Filter” cycle time in the IntelliFlo VF is from 9 AM to 9 PM. Since the IntelliFlo VF must be in the “Filter” mode, running
Schedules, (LED above Start/Stop button lit) to accept commands from IntelliComm II, it will run its default filtration schedule first.
If you want the pump to only run when it receives commands from IntelliComm II, program its “Filter” mode with the same start and
stop times. For example program Cycle 1 in the “Filter” menu to “Start” cycle one at 9 AM and “Stop” cycle one at 9 AM. This will
cause the pump to not run its filter cycle. This is done on the IntelliFlo keypad under Menu, Filter. Address 1, is the default address
for the IntelliFlo VF. The IntelliComm II will only communicate with address 1. The pump’s “Address” setting is the first menu item
under “Pool Data”.
Programming Flow into the IntelliFlo VF
1. Press the Menu button.
2. Press the down arrow until Ext. Ctrl. (External Control is displayed).
3. Press the Select button to go Ext. Ctrl. (Program 1 is displayed).
4. Press the Select Button (Enabled, Activation is displayed).
5. Press the down arrow. (Program 1, 7 m³/h GPM, Set Flow, is displayed. The Program 1 flow rate will run when PRGM 1 is activated
on the IntelliComm II control board.
6. To change this flow rate press the “Select” button. The flow rate can be adjusted from 3.4 to 29.5 m³/h.
7. The cursor will highlight the one’s digit column. Press the left and right arrows to move the cursor and the up and down arrows
to change the number.
8. Press the Enter Button to save.
9. Press the down arrow until “Time Delay Stop” is displayed. Time Delay Stop is used to control the pump to run the Program speed
for an additional amount of time after the IntelliComm II turns off its run command. This is often used for a heater cool down.
10. Press Select to highlight the cursor, use the left and right arrows to move the cursor and the up and down arrows to change the
number.
11. Press Enter to save.
12. Press Escape to Exit. The display shows Program 1. Press the down arrow to get to Program 2 and follow the same instructions
to program. For more information about programming the pump, refer to the IntelliFlo VF Installation and Quick Start Guide.
Setting up an IntelliFlo VSD
The IntelliFlo VSD pump Speeds 1, 2, 3 and 4 correspond to Prgm (Program) 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the IntelliComm II circuit board. To
program speed one on the IntelliFlo VSD. Press the “Speed 1” button. Press the Start button. To increase the speed of “Speed 1” press
the up arrow button. Each press of the up arrow will increase the RPM by 10 RPM increments. Pressing the down arrow will decrease
the RPM by 10 RPM. When the desired speed is found, press and hold down the “Speed 1” button and the new speed will be locked in.
This new speed will be the speed that the pump will run when “Prgm 1” is activated on the IntelliComm II. The speed can be adjusted
from 400 RPM to 3450 RPM.
Note
: If the IntelliFlo VSD pump is turned on manually by pressing a Speed button and the Start button, it will run the speed that was
pressed and the LED above this button will be illuminated. If it then gets a command to run a speed from the IntelliComm II, it will run
the new commanded speed and the LED above the new speed will be illuminated. When the command from the IntelliComm II has
stopped, the pump will go back to running the manually pressed speed.
Note
: If the IntelliComm II has switched on the IntelliFlo VSD and it is running a speed and you manually adjust the pump speed
using the speed buttons on the pump, you must then manually switch the pump OFF, this turns off the manually manipulated speed
and allows the IntelliComm II to take command and switch the pump back on to run at the commanded speed. If, after manipulating
the keypad, the pump is not manually turned off by pressing the Stop button the pump will continue to run after the IntelliComm II
command is stopped.
Unlike the VF, the IntelliFlo VSD does not have to be in the “Running” mode to accept commands from an IntelliComm II. The power
must be on (Green LED lit) on the IntelliComm II to accept commands.
