Note
Systems MUST be designed by qualified technicians only.
The following diagrams show typical single pump and multi-pump systems using the AQUAVAR Model 56 Controller.
Connection can be made directly to a water supply or water can be drawn from a supply tank or well. In the case of
supply tanks and wells, level switches, (item 10) can be used to shut down the pumps when water is low. In the
direct connection, a pressure switch on the suction side (item 8) can be used.

A diaphragm pressure tank is used on the discharge side of the pump or pumps to maintain pressure in the line when
there is no demand. This will keep the pumps from continuing to run. With the AQUAVAR Model 56 Controller, it is not
necessary to have a large tank for supply purposes. In selecting a tank, make sure it can withstand system pressure.
The tank should have a capacity of about 10% of the maximum single pump flow rate in gpm. Pre-charge the tank to
the following:

Note
Closed loop circulator systems may not require a pressure tank.

Installation Procedures
Step 3 – Wiring the AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller to the motor
(Parts in the electrical fittings package will be
required for this procedure). Refer to diagrams 6 and
7 before proceeding.
1) Remove the 3 screws holding the top of the
AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller. Carefully lift
off the top, disconnect the groundwire and set
aside.
2) Motor Lead Connections: Locate the
terminals U, V, W and GRD #1 inside the
AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller. Connect
wires to the terminals and route the cable as
shown on diagram 7.
3) Connections in Conduit Box: The free end of
the motor cable should now be routed
through the strain relief on the conduit box.
Connect the motor leads using the motor
nameplate as reference.

⁄4" NPT. Install the transducer in the
a
discharge pipe on the downstream side of
the check valve and connect the cable.
Now select one of the remaining holes in
the plate on the AQUA V AR Model 56
Controller heat sink. Route the cable through
the o-ring and fasten. Cut to length and
connect to locations X2 #1, X2 #2, X2 #3.

5) Input Power Cable Installation: The main
power cable is connected to GRD #2, L1, L2
for 230 V olt single phase.
•Route the cable through the strain relief per
diagram #7, cut to length and connect.
•See Appendix B for protection requirements.
6) For Multi-Pump Systems: Use a three core
shielded cable to connect terminals X3/1,
X3/2 and X3/3 between the AQUA VAR Model 56
Controller units. These are the RS-485 interface
connections. (See diagram 6 and 8). Shielding
may be grounded on terminal X3/3.
7) Low W ater Switch: Used to indicate low
water, connect to terminals X2/6 and X2/7.
Refer to diagram 6. Jump terminals if not used.
8) External On/Off: Used to turn the AQUA VAR
Model 56 Controller on/off from an external panel
or controller, connect to X2/5 and X2/4. Refer
to diagram 6. Jump terminals if not used.
9) Relay: This connection may be used to turn
on/off a full speed slave pump or an external
run or error indicator. Wire the relay to the
switch controlling the device selected.

WARNING
DO NOT APPL Y POWER TO THE AQU AVAR MODEL 56 CONTROLLER OR PUMP UNTIL
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND MEET
ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS.
Instructions
1) Check all wiring. All motors used with the
AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller are three
phase TEFC (a wall mounted version permits
the use of other enclosures). Y ou will need to
check the direction of rotation of the motor
shaft. If you have followed all of the previous
steps carefully, you should now be ready to
apply power to the AQUA V AR Model 56
Controller unit.
2) Close discharge valve. Make sure the
discharge valve is closed. Apply power to the
AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller.
3) The next step is to apply power to the AQUA V AR
Model 56 Controller and check for proper rotation
of the motor. The first start up of the AQUAV AR
Model 56 Controller should be done with the
external programming device. If you operate the
AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller without the
programming device, the following parameters
have to be set in the submenu (see operation in
the main menu).
