Wiring the IntelliFlo VF (for models with side AC Power connection)
NOTE THIS WORK MUST BE DONE BY THE QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN in accordance with the
national wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) taking into account its ratings (Class I, IPX5).
To connect the IntelliFlo to AC power:
1. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
2. Make sure that the wiring voltage is 230 VAC.
3. Use #12 AWG for wire runs up to 30 m or 100 feet and #10 AWG for lengths longer than 30 m or 100
feet. When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier gauge will allow the motor to
run cooler and more effi cient.
The IntelliFlo pump is supplied with the fl ying supply leads intended for permanent connection to fi xed
wiring. Typically the pump receives power directly from the circuit breaker. No contactor or motor starter
is required. IntelliFlo can be operated in "stand-alone" mode, starting and stopping when power is applied
or removed. When the drive powers up it will return to the mode and run status that it was in when power
was removed. This setup maybe appropriate if you need to use existing relays or timers.
Permanently connect the pump to a suitably rated circuit breaker, two-pole timer, or relay in an
automation controller such as IntelliComm. The drive must be powered up to receive and respond to the
RS-485 Serial communication from the automation system. Be sure that no other lights or appliances are
on the same circuit.
The IntelliFlo pump must be installed with a switch to ensure all-pole disconnection from the supply
mains in accordance with the Wiring Rules. The switch shall be directly connected to the supply
terminals and shall have a contact separation in all poles, providing full disconnection under overvoltage
category III conditions.
The pump must be also supplied through a residual current device – RCD (also known as an Electrical
Leakage Circuit breaker –ELCB) with a maximum rated residual current of 30 mA and isolation/
disconnecting device unless the circuit breaker is compliant with both functions/requirements. NOTE
— Use only RCD/ELCB suitable for protecting equipment with a DC current content in the fault
current.
4. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the Wiring rules. Use a solid 4mm² or
larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the external equipotential bonding lug to the pool bonding
structure, as shown below.
5. 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.
6. IMPORTANT: When connecting the pump to an automation system (IntelliComm), 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 IntelliFlo VS 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.
