AQUAVAR IPC Q&A (AQIPCQA)
1. QUESTION
Where is the drive information, such as model
number and serial numbers located?
1. ANSWER
The Aquavar® Intelligent Pump Controller
identification label is located directly on top of the
drive. It is a good practice to locate this label and
record it, either by hand or with storing a digital
image. In the event that there are any issues with
initial delivery and startup, this information is going
to be required. It is also required in the event of
a warranty. There are also specific labels on the
outside of the carton it was delivered in.
2. QUESTION
Is there a simpler way to setup and configure this
controller?
2. ANSWER
There is a startup guide (AQUAVAR IPC Single Pump
Installation and Start-Up Instructions - IM283) with
wiring, programming, and illustrations to help you
get it up and running effortlessly. It is located on our
website:

3. QUESTION
In my Quick menu in #4, I do not see the startup
Genie. I only see the Smart Start.
3. ANSWER
You may have changed this accidentally during
intimal programming. Go into the Main Menu, Select
0 Operation/Display, and Select 0-0 basic Settings,
and 0-01 Language. If you see (0) English, change
this to (122 ENGLISH US). Go back into the Quick
Menu and #4 should list the Start Up Genie.
4. QUESTION
Can the IPC run more than one pump?
4. ANSWER
The IPC can operate in duplex mode (two pumps
maximum) providing lead/lag functionality as well
as alternation, just like the CPC product. If the lead
pump fails, the lag pump automatically comes on.
It does not have to be manually turned on. Both
IPC’s have to have their own PSI Transducer. Use the
Duplex Startup Guide: Aquavar® IPC Quick Start-Up
Instructions for Duplex Commissioning

5. QUESTION
What is different with the IPC duplex operation vs. a
CPC duplex operation?
5. ANSWER
Duplex operation in the IPC is done by the analog
signals between the two drives. This requires
additional wiring between the IPC. You can buy a
3 foot (9K706) or 6 foot (9K707) connection cable
to simplify your wiring. The included harness also
included a color coded wiring manual (9K267). Also
remember that the IPC can do a maximum of two
drives and the CPC up to four.
