Wiring the Pump
To connect the IntelliFlo
®
VS+SVRS
Pump to an AC power source:
1. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
2. Make sure that the wiring voltage is 230 VAC ± 10%.
3. Use #12 AWG for wire runs up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) and #10 AWG for lengths longer than
100 feet (30.5 meters). When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier gauge
will allow the motor to run cooler and more efficient.
4. Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length so they do not overlap or touch when connected.
6. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground wire, as shown below. Use the correct wire
size and type specified by National Electrical Code. Make sure the ground wire is connected to an
electrical service ground.
7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Use a solid
No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor (No. 6 or larger in Canada). Run a wire from the external
bonding lug to the pool bonding structure, as shown below.
8. The pump should be permanently connected to either a
circuit breaker
,
2-pole timer
or
2-pole relay
.
If AC power is supplied by a GFCI circuit breaker, use a dedicated circuit breaker that has no other
electrical loads.
9.
IMPORTANT: When connecting the pump to an automation system ( IntelliTouch
®
, EasyTouch
®
or SunTouch
®
Control System and IntelliComm
®
Communication Center), continuous power
must be supplied to the pump by connecting it directly to the circuit breaker. When using an
automation system, be sure that no other lights or appliances are on the same circuit.
NOTE: When the pump is started and stopped by removing power with a relay or timer,
a two-pole device should be used to apply and remove power to both POWER LINE TERMINALS.

Initial SVRS Setup and Operational Check
The following initial SVRS setup steps describe how to determine the maximum intended flow
(GPM) and pump speed (RPM) for the system, and to perform a simulated entrapment event.
1. The SVRS system should be initially setup for operation at maximum flow (see page 12).
2. If the system includes a filter, the filter must be in a clean condition prior to setting up the
maximum flow condition.
3. Remove the drain plug from the pump strainer housing and install the vacuum gage into the 1/4”
NPT housing opening.
