Section 2 Installation Before installing the SVRS Alarm power center read the following guidelines: • Switch OFF AC power at the main circuit breaker panel, located at the house before high and low voltage connection to the power center. • AC power for the power center must be provided from the main circuit breaker panel located at the house.
Mounting the SVRS Alarm Power Center The SVRS Alarm Power Center can be mounted on a flat vertical surface, such as a wall or post. Note: Select a convenient location to mount the SVRS Alarm Power Center. DO NOT install the SVRS Power Center enclosure less five (5) feet from the pool/spa, filter and no further than 15 feet from the pool/spa valve.
Grounding and Bonding to the SVRS Alarm Power Center Connect a ground wire from the primary electrical panel to the SVRS Alarm power center ground bus bar. Also ground each piece of high voltage (120 VAC or 240 VAC) equipment that is connected to the SVRS Alarm power center relays.
High Voltage Transformer Wiring The high voltage wiring section is located inside the SVRS Alarm power center. The SVRS Alarm power center can be connected either to 120 VAC or 240 VAC. The SVRS Alarm power center should be wired to receive continuous power (connect directly to sub-panel).
Installing the SVRS Audible Alarm System The following illustration shows the IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS pump connected to the SVRS Alarm circuit board using the pump’s RS-485 two-wire communication cable (provide with pump) and the SVRS audible alarm connected to the SVRS circuit board using a 50 ft.
Install the alarm plate (See Figure 1) 1. Strip back the ends of 50 ft. cable conductors ¼ in. Loosen the two screws on the back of the alarm plate. Wrap each wire around each screw. Tight the screws to secure the wires. 2.
Connecting IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS pump to the SVRS Alarm Power Center The IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS pump is connected to the SVRS Alarm circuit board center using the 50 ft. two-conductor communication cable (provided with pump). To connect the IntelliFlo pump communication cable (See Figure 2) 1.
Mounting the ESO3 Select a convenient location to mount the Emergency Shut-Off switch (ESO3) near the SVRS audible alarm. Provide a UL-Listed double-gang electrical outlet box. The electrical box must be rated for outdoor/wet location use if the ESO3 is located outside.
Page 31
5. Connecting the ESO3 circuit board to the SVRS Alarm circuit board: Using the provided cable, connect AUX 3 on the SVRS alarm circuit board to one of the two-pin sockets located on the left side of the ESO3 circuit board as shown below. CLNR CLNR SVRS Alarm circuit board...
Connecting the ESO3 Switch to the Circuit Board (see Figure 3) 7. Connecting the ESO3 switch: Route a two-wire cable (sold separately) through grommet located on the left-side of the SVRS Alarm power center, up into the low voltage raceway to the ESO3 switch circuit board.
Installing Auxiliary Relays There can be a maximum of three standard auxiliary relays installed in the SVRS Alarm power center. Relays must be installed at the site. All SVRS Alarm high voltage double pole relays are rated at 3HP/30A at 240 VAC (1½ HP/30A at 120 VAC).
Page 34
Standard relay (Location 2): Position the relay (coil facing upward) in the relay compartment at about a 30° angle. Slide the tip of relay flange under head of the left-side screw. Rotate the relay downward to align the right-side flange with the screw hole. Using a 1/4 in nut driver, secure the relay in place with the retaining screw.
