Warns about hazards that may cause death, serious personal injury, or major property damage if ignored.

Warns about hazards that may or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.

NOTE Indicates special instructions not related to hazards.

Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual and on equipment. Keep safety labels in good condition; replace if missing or damaged.

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

Do not permit children to use this product.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Connect only to

a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuitinterrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualiﬁed electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit

that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is ﬂowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualiﬁed service representative before using.

This pump is for use with permanent swimming

pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

General Warnings

• Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure. There is a capacitor bank that holds a 230 VAC charge even when there is no power to the unit.

• The pump is not submersible.

• The pump is capable of high ﬂow rates; use caution when installing and programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment.

• Code requirements for electrical connection differ from country to country, state to state, as well as local municipalities. Install equipment in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.

• Before servicing the pump; switch OFF power to the pump by disconnecting the main circuit to the pump.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) of reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY

INJURY OR DEATH. THIS PUMP SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND

SERVICED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED POOL SERVICE PROFESSIONAL. INSTALLERS, POOL OPERATORS AND OWNERS MUST READ THESE WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS PUMP. THESE WARNINGS AND THE OWNER’S MANUAL MUST BE LEFT WITH THE POOL OWNER.

SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF THE MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUCTION OUTLETS!

THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES A STRONG VACUUM AT THE MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY OF WATER. THIS SUCTION IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAN TRAP ADULTS OR CHILDREN UNDER WATER IF THEY COME IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR BROKEN DRAIN COVER OR GRATE.

THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE MISSING, CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR ENTANGLEMENT, BODY ENTRAPMENT, EVISCERATION AND/OR DEATH.

The suction at a drain or outlet can cause:

Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.

Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the ﬂow rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.

Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover ﬂow rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps.

Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open pool (particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.

INTELLIPRO® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide

IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations,

ﬁnger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.

NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.

TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:

• A properly installed and secured ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment suction cover must be used for each drain.

• Each suction cover must be installed at least three (3’) feet apart, as measured from the nearest point to nearest point.

• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering.

• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, replace with an appropriate certiﬁed cover.

• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight and weather.

• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any suction cover, pool drain or outlet.

• Disable suction outlets or reconﬁgure into return inlets.

A clearly labeled emergency shut-off switch for the pump must be in an easily accessible, obvious place.

Make sure users know where it is and how to use it in case of emergency.

The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act creates new requirements for owners and operators of commercial swimming pools and spas.

Commercial pools or spas constructed on or after December 19, 2008, shall utilize:

(A) A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with suction outlet covers that meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a Suction Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs and either:

(i) A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release systems (SVRS) for Residential and Commercial Swimming Pool, Spa, Hot Tub, and Wading Pool Suction Systems and/or ASTM F2387 Standard Speciﬁcation for Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) for Swimming pools, Spas and Hot Tubs or

(ii) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system or

(iii) An automatic pump shut-off system.

Commercial pools and spas constructed prior to December 19, 2008, with a single submerged suction outlet shall use a suction outlet cover that meets ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a and either:

(A) A SVRS meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 and/or ASTM F2387, or

(B) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system, or

(D) Disabled submerged outlets, or

(E) Suction outlets shall be reconﬁgured into return inlets.

For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)

Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or ﬁlter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, ﬁlter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the ﬁlter and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system ﬁlter.

INTELLIPRO® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide

HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP

Circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (i.e. locking ring, pump, ﬁlter, valves, etc.) is serviced,

air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover, ﬁlter lid, and valves to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death. Filter tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.

Before servicing equipment, make note of the ﬁlter pressure. Be sure that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during service. Turn off all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place ﬁlter

manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure in the system to be relieved.

Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to ﬂow freely from the tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.

IMPORTANT: Do not close ﬁlter manual air relief valve until all pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream of water appears. Observe ﬁlter pressure gauge and be sure it is not

higher than the pre-service condition.

General Installation Information

• All work must be performed by a qualiﬁed service professional, and

must conform to all national, state, and local codes.

• Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.

• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models

and therefore some instructions may not apply to a speciﬁc model. All models are intended for use in swimming pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the speciﬁc application and properly installed.

Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in

applications other than for which the pump was intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks may include but not be limited to electric shock, ﬁre, ﬂooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component.

The pump can produce high levels of suction within

the suction side of the plumbing system. These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes within the close proximity of the suction openings. A person can be seriously injured by this high level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in accordance with the latest national and local codes for swimming pools.

INTELLIPRO® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide

INSTALLATION

Only a qualiﬁed plumbing professional should install the IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump. Refer to “Important Pump Warning And Safety Instructions” on pages ii - iii for additional installation and safety information.

Location

Note: Do not install this pump within an outer enclosure or

beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless marked accordingly. Note: Ensure that the pump is mechanically secured to the

equipment pad.

Be sure the pump location meets the following requirements:

1. Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible. To reduce friction loss and improve efﬁciency, use short, direct suction and return piping.

2. Install a minimum of 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the inside wall of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require a minimum of 9.8 feet (3 meters) from the inside wall of the pool.

3. Install the pump a minimum of 3 feet (.9 meters) from the heater outlet.

4. Do not install the pump more than 10 feet (3.1 meters) above the water level.

5. Install pump in a well ventilated location protected from excess moisture (i.e. rain gutter downspouts, sprinklers, etc.).

6. Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) so that the motor can be removed easily for maintenance and repair. See Figure 1.

MINIMUM

Piping

1. For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a larger pipe size. When installing the inlet and outlet ﬁttings (male adaptors), unless using the unions supplied with the pump, use thread sealant.

2. Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the same or larger than the return line diameter.

3. Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as short as possible.

4. For most installations Pentair recommends installing a valve on both the pump suction and return lines so that the pump can be isolated during routine maintenance. We also recommend a valve, elbow or tee installed in the suction line should be no closer to the front of he pump than ﬁve (5) times the suction line pipe diameter. See

Figure 2. Example: A 2.5 inch pipe requires a 12.5 inch (31.8 cm)

straight run in front of the suction inlet of the pump). This will help the pump prime faster and last longer.

Note: DO NOT install 90° elbows directly into the pump inlet and outlet.

Electrical Requirements

• Install all equipment in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.

• A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the ﬁxed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

INTELLIPRO® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide

Optional Keypad Relocation Kit

In special cases when the user lacks easy or convenient access to the IntelliPro 2 VST Variable Speed Pump, a Keypad Relocation Kit (P/N 356905Z) may be purchased from your local pool equipment supplier. This kit allows the user to remove the keypad from the top of the drive and mount the keypad in a fixed location with better access.

For installation instructions refer to the Keypad Relocation Kit Installation Instructions provided with the kit.

Fittings and Valves

1. Do not install 90° elbows directly into pump inlet.

2. Flooded suction systems should have gate valves installed on suction and discharge pipes for maintenance, however, the suction gate valve should be no closer than ﬁve times the suction pipe diameter as described in this section.

3. Use a check valve in the discharge line when using this pump for any application where there is signiﬁcant height to the plumbing after the pump.

4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in parallel with another pump. This helps prevent reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.

Electrical Installation

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This 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, users or others due to electric shock.

Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.

Note: ALWAYS reinstall the drive lid onto the ﬁeld wiring compartment when leaving the pump unsupervised during servicing. This will prevent foreign matter (i.e. rainwater, dust, etc.) from accumulating in the drive.

Note: When connecting the pump to an automation system (IntelliTouch and IntelliComm® Communication Center), 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.

, EasyTouch®, SunTouch® Control Systems

Wiring

1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.

STORED CHARGE - Wait at least sixty (60) seconds before servicing.

2. Be sure that the supply voltage meets the requirements listed on the motor nameplate. If these requirements are not met, permanent motor damage may occur.

3. For wiring sizes and general guidelines for proper electrical installation, please follow the speciﬁcations deﬁned in the National Electric Code and any local codes as required.

4. Use strain relief and be sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.

5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length so they do not overlap or touch when connected.

6. Reinstall the keypad after wiring the pump by plugging the cover back into the drive wiring connection and re-seating the keypad in the desired orientation with the four (4) corner screws.

Note: Ensure that the keypad cable is not pinched

between the drive and keypad during re-seating.

Grounding

1. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground screw, as shown below. Use the correct wire size and type speciﬁed by National Electrical Code. Be sure the ground wire is connected to an electrical service ground.

2. 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.

Bonding

1. Bond the motor to the structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Use a solid copper bonding conductor not smaller than 8 AWG. For Canadian installations, a 6 AWG or larger solid copper bonding conductor is required. Run a wire from the external bonding screw or lug to the bonding structure.

2. Connect the wire from the accessible bonding lug on the motor to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet (1.52 meters) of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. Run a wire from the external bonding screw or lug to the bonding structure.

Follow the steps below to prime the pump for start up:

1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump. Disconnect the pump main power supply and communication cable.

2. Close all gate valves in suction and discharge pipes. Relieve all pressure from the system.

3. Remove the pump clamp and lid.

4. Fill the pump strainer pot with water.

5. Reassemble the pump clamp and lid onto the strainer basket. The pump is now ready to prime.

6. Open all valves in suction and discharge pipes.

7. Open the ﬁlter air relief valve and stand clear of the ﬁlter.

8. Connect power to the pump. Be sure green power light is on.

9. Press Start/Stop to start the pump. The pump will enter into priming mode (if enabled) and speed up to the maximum speed set in the pump menu settings.

10. When water comes out of the ﬁlter air relief valve,

close the valve. The system should now be free of air and recirculating water to and from the pool

11. Do not allow your pump to run longer than 30 minutes time without developing full w. If the pump does not prime, check your priming settings on the control panel or see the “Troubleshooting” section on pages 24-25.

Volute

Top View

Priming Features

The default priming setting is ENABLED. The pump also allows you to set the following from the operator control panel:

• Priming speed

• Priming range (1-10)

• Priming delay

Set up instructions on page 15.

Do not add chemicals to the system directly in

front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals

may damage the pump and will void the warranty.

This is a variable speed pump. Typically the lower

speeds are used for ﬁltration and heating. The

higher speeds can be used for spa jets, water features, and priming.

DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this

occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool (half way up skimmer opening).

If the water level falls below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air through the skimmer, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry,

resulting in a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and

seal and may cause property damage and personal injury.

PRIMING

The default setting for Priming is ENABLED. This setting allows the pump to automatically detect if it is primed for startup.

The priming feature increases the pump speed to 1800 RPM and pauses for three (3) seconds. If there is sufﬁcient water ﬂow in the pump basket, the pump will go out of priming mode and run its commanded speed.

If the water ﬂow is not sufﬁcient, as determined by the Priming Range setting, the pump speed will increase to the “Priming Speed” setting and remain for the priming delay time (default 20 seconds). If there is sufﬁcient water ﬂow in the pump basket at this time, it will exit priming mode and transition to the commanded speed.

If there is still insufﬁcient ﬂow in the pump basket, the pump will try to prime at the “Priming Speed” for the amount of time set in the “Maximum Priming Time” menu. Once the pump achieves prime, it will resume normal operation after the preset priming delay.

Note: It is possible to set “Maximum Speed” too low for the pump to properly prime. Maximum Speed will limit Priming Speed, except in one case. If the Maximum Speed is set below the lowest available Priming Speed (2400 RPM) then the pump will exceed the Maximum Speed while the priming feature is running. This prevents the pump from having trouble priming if the Maximum Speed is set this low. If this is a problem, priming can be disabled in the Priming Menu.

PRIMING

Priming Features

DISABLED/ENABLED

SET SPEED

MAX PRIMING TIME

Pump Menu: Priming

Default: ENABLED

Allows IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump to automatically detect if pump if is primed for startup. The pump will speed up to 1800 RPM and pause for three (3) seconds - if there is enough water in the basket, the pump will go out of priming mode and run the commanded speed.

Default: 3450 RPM

The priming speed can be set between 2400 RPM and 3450 RPM. If the pump is on an equipment pad that is close to the water level, it will not need to run at 3450 RPM to successfully prime. The setting can be lowered to prevent running at a higher speed than necessary.

Day to day factors (i.e. local ambient pressure, water/air temperatures, amount of water retained from last system run) can effect priming performance. Because of the frequently changing nature of these factors the priming speed should be set high enough to accommodate environmental and mechanical changes to ensure that the pump can successfully prime. Finding the most effective and efﬁcient speed for your speciﬁc needs may take careful testing and evaluation of priming performance.

Default: 11 minutes

The maximum priming time can be set from 1 - 30 minutes. This setting is the amount of time the pump will try to prime before it gives a priming error. If this occurs, ﬁll the pump basket with water and restart the pump.

PRIMING RANGE

PRIMING DELAY

Default: 5

Priming range can be set from 1-10. The smaller the range, the more water the pump has to be moving to detect that it is primed. At larger ranges, the pump will detect that it is fully primed while moving less water. If the range is set too high, then the pump may exit Priming mode before it has fully primed. The range will automatically adjust with the priming set speed because the ﬂow rates of the pump will be lower at lower speeds.

Default: 20 seconds

Priming delay can be set from 1 second to 10 minutes. If the pump does not have enough water after the automatic priming mode, the pump will increase to the Priming Speed and run for 20 seconds (or for the time set).

You may need to increase the priming delay to allow the system to stabilize before the pump starts running speeds. If pump continues to show a priming error, increasing the priming delay time might correct this issue.

Disabling Priming with an Automation System

When the IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump is connected to an automation control system, (IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch® or SunTouch® Control Systems), the priming feature on the pump

cannot be disabled by the external automation control system only. It must also be disabled on the pump itself.

If priming is enabled on start up, the pump responds to its internal settings before responding to commands from an automation control system.

CONNECTING TO AN AUTOMATION SYSTEM

External Control with IntelliComm® Communication Center

Use the RS-485 communications cable to remotely control the IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump from an IntelliComm communication center. The IntelliComm system provides four (4) pairs of input terminal connections. These inputs are actuated by either 15 - 240 VAC or 15 - 100 VDC. Use the device inputs, to control the programmed pump speeds.

Note: For the pump to accept commands from the IntelliComm system, the pump must be in the “Running Schedules” mode (LED above Start/Stop button is on). If more than one input is active, the highest number will be communicated to the pump. The IntelliComm system will always communicate to

pump using ADDRESS #1.

Program Number Priority

If programs 1 and 2 are activated, program 2 will run, regardless of the assigned speed (RPM). The higher program number will always take priority.

Refer back to page 12 for instructions for setting up Programs in the External Control menu.

External Control is for programming speeds that will run when the IntelliComm communication center controller sends it a command.

For example, Terminal 3 and 4 in IntelliComm system will correspond to External Control Program #1. (5 and 6 to Ext Ctrl #2). Use the External Control feature to program the IntelliComm communication center.

MAINTENANCE

DO NOT open the strainer pot if the IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, be sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.

To prevent damage to the pump and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.

Pump Strainer Basket

The strainer basket (or ‘strainer pot’), is located in front of the pump housing. The strainer basket must be kept clean and free of debris. Inspect basket through the lid on the top of the housing. Be sure to visually inspect the strainer basket at least once a week. Dirty strainer baskets reduce ﬁlter and heater efﬁciency and put abnormal stress on the pump motor.

Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket

1. Press Start/Stop button on the pump and turn off the pump at the circuit breaker. Disconnect communication cable from pump.

2. Relieve pressure in the system.

3. Turn the lid and locking ring counter-clockwise and remove from the pump.

4. Remove debris and rinse out the basket. Replace the basket if it is cracked.

5. Put the basket back into the housing. the notch in the bottom of the basket with the rib in the bottom of the volute.

6. Fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with water.

7. Clean the lid and locking ring, O-ring, and sealing surface of the pump pot.

Note: It is important to keep the lid O-ring clean and well lubricated.

8. Reinstall the lid by placing the locking ring and lid on the pot. Be sure the lid O-ring is properly placed.

Seat the locking ring and lid on the pump then turn

clockwise until the locking ring handles are horizontal.

9. Turn the power “ON” at the circuit breaker. Reconnect communication cable from pump.

10. Open the manual air relief valve on the top of the ﬁlter. Stand clear of the ﬁlter.

11. Wait until all pressure is relieved. Start the pump.

12. Bleed air from the ﬁlter until a steady stream of water comes out of the ﬁlter air relief valve. Close the manual air relief valve.

Be sure to align

Winterizing

To protect the pump electronics from freeze damage, the pump will switch on to generate internal heat as the temperature drops below freezing. The Thermal Mode feature on the pump is not intended to protect the system plumbing from freezing.

• In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing

conditions may occur, run your ﬁltering equipment all night to prevent freezing.

• You are responsible for determining when freezing

conditions may occur. If freezing conditions are expected, take the following steps to reduce the risk of freeze damage. Freeze damage is not covered

under warranty.

To prevent freeze damage, follow the procedures below:

1. Shut off electrical power for the pump at the circuit breaker.

2. Drain the water out of the pump housing by removing the two thumb-twist drain plugs from the housing. Store the plugs in the pump basket.

3. Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow and ice.

Note: The motor may be covered during a storm, winter storage, etc., but never when operating or expecting operation. Never wrap motor with plastic or other air tight materials during winter storage.

All control panel buttons are disabled until the alarm or warning is acknowledged with the Reset button. Pressing the Reset button will clear the alarm once the fault condition has been resolved.

Note: The pump will not start if the impeller is rotating.

Power Out/OFF

The incoming supply voltage is less than required. The drive faults to protect itself from over current. The drive contains capacitors that keep it powered up long enough to save the current run parameters. If power is restored during this process, approximately 20 seconds, the drive will not restart until completed.

Priming Failure

If the pump is not deﬁned as primed within the “Max Priming Time” it will stop and generate a “Priming Alarm” for 10 minutes, then attempt to prime again. The “Max Priming Time” is set by the user on the priming menu as discussed on page 13. If the pump cannot prime within ﬁve attempts it will generate a permanent alarm that must be manually reset.

Overheat

If the drive temperature gets above 54.4° C (130° F) the pump will slowly reduce speed until the over temperature condition clears.

Thermal Mode

When active, the motor will run at the preset RPM until the drive internal temperature increases above the minimum. The pump’s internal thermal protection is disabled when connected to an automation system. Thermal protection is provided by selecting YES at the ON WITH FREEZE portion of the circuit function menu in the IntelliTouch internal thermal protection, the power to the drive must be cycled off then back on. Important: See explanation

of Thermal Mode on page 16.

Over Current

Indicated that the drive is overloaded or the motor has an electrical problem. The drive will restart 20 seconds after the over current condition clears.

Over Voltage

Indicates excessive supply voltage or an external water source is causing the pump and motor to rotate thereby generating an excessive voltage on the drives internal DC buss. The drive will restart 20 seconds after the over voltage condition clears.

Internal Error

Indicates that the self-monitoring motor control software has encountered an error. Clear the alarm and restart the pump. If this alarm persists, contact Pentair Technical Service at 1-800-831-7133.
