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.

Wiring Overview and Installation

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 99-253V, 50 or 60Hz single phase input
power. The terminal block connections are capable of handling
up to 10AWG 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 motor controller will automatically regulate the pump's
speed when running on lower voltage to keep the current below
13.2A. There is no wiring change required to run the pump on
110V nominal power, the same terminals are used as with high
voltage wiring.
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.
6. Bond the motor to all metal parts of the pool structure and to
all electrical equipment, metal conduit and metal pipping within
5 feet (1.5 M) of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa
or hot tub in accordance with the current National Electrical
Code. UL requires use of a solid copper bonding conductor
not smaller than 8 AWG. See Figure 3.
Note: For Canada, a 6 AWG or larger solid copper bonding
conductor is required.
7. 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.
8. Connect the pump permanently to a circuit. Make sure no
other lights or appliances are on the same circuit.
Figure 3.
The field wiring compartment has a 1/2" NPT threaded
conduit port for the liquid tight fitting.
The bonding lug should be used to bond the motor frame to
the equipment pad.
