Wiring Overview and Installation
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.
The Variable Speed
Pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified service professional
in accordance with the 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
users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service people, pool users or others
due to electric shock and/or property damage.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
WARNING -
Power should be turned off when installing, servicing, or repairing electrical
components. Observe all warning notices posted on the existing equipment, pump, and in these
installation instructions.
The pump must be wired according to the local electrical codes and standards. Always
refer to the National Electrical Code. This pump should be installed by a licensed
electrician.
The pump accepts 220V-240V, 50 or 60Hz single phase Input power. The terminal
block connections are capable of handling up to 12AWG solid or stranded wire. There
are also fast-on type quick connectors, however, check the local electrical codes for
the desired connection method. The connections must be permanently made to the
grounding terminal (see Figure 3) in the field wiring compartment according to the local
electrical code.
The drive will operate on 2-phase Line-Line-Ground electrical systems as well as
Line-Neutral-Ground systems. This pump must be permanently connected by a circuit
breaker as specified in the local electrical code.
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
Always wait five (5) minutes after disconnecting the power from the pump before
opening or servicing the drive.
2. Choose a wire size for the pump in accordance with the current National Electrical
Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. When in doubt use a heavier
gauge (larger diameter) wire. Be sure the wiring voltage is within the operating range.
3. Be sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
4. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they do not overlap or touch when connected
to the terminal board.
5. Permanently ground the motor using the ground screw located on the inside rear
of the controller interface (see Figure 3). Use the correct wire size and type specified
by the current National Electrical Code. Be sure the ground wire is connected to an
electrical service ground.
