ECOTECH EZ
®
Variable Speed Motor/Control
CAUTION
!
Voltage to the motor/control shall be
within plus or minus 10% of the nameplate voltage to
avoid overheating and loss of performance.
a.
All aspects of the installation shall conform to
the applicable requirements of the NEC (National
Electrical Code), including Article 430 (Motor Circuits
and Controllers), as well as all local codes.
b.
This motor/control should be powered from a
separate circuit of adequate capacity to maintain
sufficient voltage during starting and running
conditions. Wire size shall be adequate to minimize
voltage drop during starting and running. A qualified
or licensed electrician should be used to properly size
the motor/control supply circuit. Reference articles
310 and 400 of the NEC for further information on
wire sizing. A #8 AWG or larger conductor must
be wired to the motor/control ground/bonding lug.
Use #6 AWG in Canada. Wiring, including flexible
cords, should be as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop. All electrical connections in this
system must be secure to prevent voltage drop
and localized heating. If AC power is supplied by
a GFCI circuit breaker, use a dedicated circuit that
has no other electrical loads. GFCI use shall be
in accordance with NEC and all other applicable
state,local and National electrical codes.
c.
Permanent connection of “Hot” supply wires (power
wires that supply voltage) should be from a 2-pole
device (Circuit breaker, relay, timer, etc.) that open-
circuits all hot supply wires when the motor control
is “OFF”. Failure to use a 2-pole device will result
in voltage being present at the motor/control and
potential shock hazard.
d.
All electrical connections should be made and
maintained by a qualified or licensed electrician.
WARNING
!
Although the ECOTECH EZ
®
motor/
control is a totally enclosed product, rare circumstances,
such as but not limited to; i.e., motor submersion due
to flood or high pressure water stream aimed directly at
motor, might allow water to infiltrate the motor/control. If
this occurs, the unit shall be serviced by a qualified service
person before operating or applying power. Wet internal
components may cause a shock hazard
CAUTION
!
To avoid accidents, make sure equipment
is properly protected to prevent access by children or other
unauthorized personnel.
CAUTION
!
Make sure there are no unusual noises or
vibrations when the motor/control is running. If noise and
vibration are apparent, see the General Troubleshooting
issues on page 26.
WARNING
!
Direct-coupled installations, (such as
pool pump products), require a careful check of shaft
and coupling alignment. Position the motor/control for
proper alignment. Do not depend on a flexible coupling
to compensate for misalignment. Do not strike the motor
shaft with a hammer or other tool as this may damage
the bearings.
WARNING
!
Provide proper safeguards for personnel
against rotating parts.
WARNING
!
Become familiar with the equipment and
read all instructions thoroughly before installing or working
on the equipment.
WARNING
!
The control on top of the motor should
NEVER be disassembled for any reason.
CAUTION
!
The User Interface should NEVER be
disassembled from the control for any reason.
NOTICE
!
The ECOTECH EZ
®
Motor/Control is
properly packaged for shipment and storage in a clean,
dry indoor area.
WARNING
!
Safety glasses should be worn to inspect
the equipment while it is running or while a mallet or
hammer is used, especially if cover plates are removed.
WARNING
!
This motor/control is not a substitute
for properly installed and secured drain covers.
An ANSI/ASME (American National Standards
Institute/American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
A112.19.8-2007 approved anti-entrapment drain cover
shall be used for each drain. Pools and spas should
use two drains per pump. If a drain cover becomes
loose, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa
immediately and shut off the pump until an approved
anti-entrapment drain cover is properly installed with
the manufacturer’s supplied screws.

Variable Speed Motor/Control
WARNING
!
This product does NOT provide nor
function as a safety vacuum release system (SVRS).
If a SVRS is required, a product certified as a SVRS
must be used.
WARNING
!
The Association of Pool and Spa
Professionals (APSP) recommends the following to
keep your Pool, Spa, or Hot Tub Safe and Free from
Entrapment Risk:
a.
Have your pool inspected by a licensed industry
professional during initial installation.
b.
There is no backup for a broken, missing or
inadequate cover. Replace any broken, missing
or non- compliant covers with covers marked:
VGB2008,” “ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007,” or
covers showing the swimmer logo.
c.
Pools or spas with a single main drain require
additional protection. Options include:
• Eliminating the drain or reversing the flow
• Adding a second, properly spaced outlet
• Installing an SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System)
• Installing an automatic pump shut-off system
• Installing a suction- limiting vent system
• Adding a gravity drainage system
d.
Please check with your individual municipality
to ensure proper compliance.

WARNING
!
This unit should not be serviced in the
field. Do not disassemble or reconnect components in the
field; use authorized factory service only.
WARNING
!
Always disconnect power to the motor
and ALWAYS disconnect any RS-485 communication
cable before servicing.
WARNING
!
Be careful when touching the exterior
of an operating motor/control! The motor/control may be
hot to the touch and cause injury. This condition is normal
for most motors when operated at rated load and voltage.
A properly functioning motor may be too hot to touch
and can cause injury.
General Installation Instructions
Follow these instructions to prolong the life of your
swimming pool pump motor/control.
a.
Install this product on a secure and level platform
or base such as a concrete pad.
