RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Connect only to
a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that
the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit
that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should
be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button.
The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should
be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is
defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button
being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an
electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution:
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed
or certified electrician or a qualified pool service
person in accordance with the current National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes
and ordinances. Improper installation will create
an electrical hazard which could result in death
or serious injury to pool users, installers, or
others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the
circuit breaker and remove the RS-485 communication
cable from the pump before servicing the pump.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury
to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric
shock.
Water temperature in excess of 100°
Fahrenheit may be hazardous to your
health. Prolonged immersion in hot water
may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia
occurs when the internal temperature of the
body reaches a level several degrees above
normal body temperature of 98.6° F. (37° C.).
The effects of hyperthermia include:
1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure
to perceive heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4)
Physical inability to exit the spa. 5) Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF
PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP
Circulation systems operate under high pressure.
When any part of the circulating system (i.e.
locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced,
air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover
filter lid and valves to violently separate which can
result in severe personal injury or death. Filter
tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent
separation. Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when turning
on or starting up pump.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure
that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start
during service. Turn off all power to the pump.
IMPORTANT: Place filter
manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure
in the system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place
all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to flow freely from the
tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all
pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream
of water appears.
Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not
higher than the pre-service condition.
SVRS devices shall only be installed in
conjunction with ASME A112.19.8 suction fitting,
or a 12 in. x 12 in. (305 mm x 305 mm) drain grate or larger, or an
approved channel drain system at each suction outlet or drain outlet.
All SVRS devices shall be factory set or field
adjusted to site-specific hydraulic conditions. Once
installed, the system shall be tested by simulating an entrapment event.
A ball, butterfly, or sliding gate valve shall be
installed within 2 ft. (0.6m) upstream from the
SVRS (between the SVRS and the protected suction outlet), or a test
mat shall be used to cover the suction outlet to simulate an entrapment
event. There shall be three simulated entrapment tests conducted to
verify proper adjustment and operation of the device.
SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System) feature is
DISABLED during priming. When “SVRS” text is
not displayed on the control panel screen, the SVRS feature is disabled.
The IntelliFlo

VS+SVRS and IntelliPro
®
VS+SVRS
pump (“pump”) has been designed to specifically
operate with Pentair Water Pool and Spa control systems. Operating
the pump with other manufacturers’ controllers may cause software
failure of the pump, drive or other system components. Such failure
can result in severe personal injury (i.e., failure of the SVRS system,
electrical shock) or death. If installed properly, an IntelliComm
®
controller may be used to integrate other manufacturer’s controllers.
The presence of a hydrostatic valve in
the suction piping has been shown to
prolong the high vacuum present at the drain, even
through the drain was protected by an SVRS device.
• Suction check valves and hydrostatic
valves shall not be used with this pump;
• When check valves are installed on the
discharge side of the pump a SVRS Check
Valve Kit (P/N 350250Z) must be installed.
Never open the inside or the drive motor enclosure.
There is a capacitor bank that holds a 230 VAC
charge even when there is no power to the unit.
The pump is capable of 174 GPM or 104 feet of
head; use caution when installing and programming
to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment.
