Section 1. Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

LIRE LA NOTICE TECHNIQUE.

All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When installing

and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

DANGER

To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the
suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the
equipment assembly.

WARNING

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include
dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia
include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4)
physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.

WARNING

To Reduce the Risk of Injury -

a) The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and

104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young
children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of

pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).

c) Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate

thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.

d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with

the possibility of drowning.

e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system

problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication

may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

Page 5

WARNING

People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.

To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.

Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.

Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.

Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health.

Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.

Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.

Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.

Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa or hot tub.

The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be hazardous to your health.

2.8 Connection to Remote Contacts

The user interface allows speeds "" through "4" to operate
via remote contact closures (switch or relay). Speed "4"
operates differently than the other three. See Section 2.10,
Remote Closure 4 Behavior.

1. Turn off all switches and the main breaker that
supplies power to the ePump™.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Turn off all switches and the main breaker in the ePump™
electrical circuit before starting the procedure. Failure to
comply may cause a shock hazard resulting in severe
personal injury or death.

2. Connect one side of the remote contact closure to the
COMMON terminal on J3 REMOTE CONTROL
connector of the controller. See Figure 4.

3. Connect the other side of the remote contact closure
to INPUT 1, INPUT 2, INPUT 3, or INPUT 4
terminal on J3 REMOTE CONTROL connector of
the controller, depending on which speed is to be
controlled.

4. Turn on all switches and the main breaker feeding
power to the ePump™.

5. Verify the operation of the contact closures. If
the correct speed is activated when the closure is
activated, the ePump™ starts, and the message
REMOTE ENABLED appears on the controller
display.

NOTE When starting the pump via a remote closure, the

pump will first run at the priming speed for the
priming duration, as set by the installer.

2.9 Remote Operation

Speeds activated via remote closures always override
speeds that have been activated manually or via an internal
timer program. When the pump is activated via a remote
closure, the keypad is disabled and the message REMOTE
ENABLED appears on the display.

10:00AM RPM:1200

The controller will remain in this state until the contact is
opened. When more than one (1) contact closure occurs, the
highest speed will take priority.

2.10 Remote Closure 4 Behavior

The behavior of speed "4" differs from manual operation
when operated via a remote contact closure. As during manual
operation, the turn-on time of remote closure 4 is immediate,
and occurs at the same time as contact closure (For example,
see Section 2.8). The turn-off time, however, is delayed by 30
minutes.

In other words, when remote closure 4 is de-activated, the
ePump™ will continue to run for 30 minutes, after which
time the controller will turn off the ePump™. The delay may
be manually interrupted by pressing any preset key.

6. Set the timeclock to the desired on/off times.

7. Turn on all switches and the main breaker feeding
power to the ePump™.

8 If the installation is working properly, the  reman’s

switch will open 20 minutes before the booster
pump shuts down, the ePump™ will continue to run
for 30 minutes, and the ePump™ Controller will
display PUMP WILL REMAIN ON FOR XX:XX,
where XX:XX is the time remaining until ePump™
shutdown.

If two (2) timed programs overlap, the program with the
faster speed will take priority and run to completion. If
the earlier-starting program is still active, it will resume
operation. The program off times never change, i.e., they are
not ‘pushed-out’ in time when programs overlap. Timeclock
programs may be prematurely stopped by stopping the pump
manually from the keypad. This override is active until the
program start time is reached again, at which time the timed
program will start the pump as programmed.

If the pump is started manually at a speed that has been
programmed with a timer, the pump will be stopped by the
timeclock at the programmed off time.

NOTE When starting the pump via a timed program, the

pump will first run at the priming speed for the

Important Information on Freeze Protection

Freeze protection is intended to protect equipment and
plumbing for short periods of freezing only. It does this
by activating the filtration pump and circulating the water
to prevent freeze inside equipment or plumbing. Freeze
protection does not guarantee that equipment will not be
damaged by extended periods of freezing temperatures
or power outages. In these conditions, the pool and spa
should be shut down completely (e.g. drained of water and
closed for the winter) until warmer weather exists.
