Setting the Clock

When the pump is first plugged in, the clock will blink to
indicate that is has not been set. Any daily schedule set
by the user will be based on this clock setting, so it will
be necessary to set the clock first.
To Set the Clock:
1. Press and hold the Display button for 3 seconds.
2. Use the "+" and "-" arrows to choose between a 12
or 24 hour time format.
3. Press Display to advance in the Clock Setup menu
4. Use the "+" and "-" arrows to change the time to the
correct time of day. In the 12 hour time format AM/
PM will display in the bottom right corner.
5. Press Display to advance.
6. Use the "+" and "-" arrows to adjust the screen
backlight brightness.
7. Press Display to exit the Clock Setup menu. The
clock is now set.
During a power outage, the drive will retain the clock
setting in memory for as long as 24 hours. If the power
is out longer than 24 hours the clock will have to be set
again. If the drive has lost the user set time, the clock
will continuously blink until the time is reset.
To deactivate External Control Only mode:
1. Stop the pump by pressing the Start/Stop button.
2. Deactivate External Control Only mode by pressing
and holding the Start/Stop button for 3 seconds.
3. If successful the LED next to Ext. Control Only will
turn off. See Figure 7.
4. The Start/Stop button must be pressed again to
allow the pump to run.

OPERATING THE PUMP

Once the time is reset the clock will stop blinking.
Note: When power is returned to the pump after
a prolonged outage (24+ hours) the clock will
automatically set itself to the Speed 1 start time, blink
and advance. The pump will also run the associated
schedule from that start time.

Using the Default Schedule

The default schedule is designed to provide enough
daily turnover to service a typical pool. See Table 2
