Page 4 TriStar VS is available in the following two models: • TriStar VS SP3200VSP, can operate by itself in Stand-alone Mode, or be controlled from third party controls and Hayward controls that are not software compatible, by using relay contacts and/or an actuator port. SP3200VSP includes a control interface on the pump.
Page 5: Installation- Plumbing
Installation - Plumbing New Pools: When installing the TriStar VS on a new pool, care should be taken to ensure proper pipe and equipment sizing to handle the maximum flow required (fig 1). Existing Pools: When installing the TriStar VS on existing pools, care should be taken to insure the maximum flow does not exceed the capacity of the pipe and equipment* (fig 1).

Page 10 Installation–Interface /Wall mount SP3200VSP Models only A wall mount kit (SPX3400DRKIT) can be used to remotely mount the interface. The kit includes a blank cover, mounting bracket, and new terminal block for connecting to the interface assembly. Maximum 500’ for data cable used for wall mount or control connection. Remove the interface assembly , interface mounting plate, and cable (Page 8).
Page 11 (Compatible software shown below) Note: When connecting high voltage for a TriStar VS that is data connected to a Hayward/Goldline control, voltage needs to come directly from a breaker in the control, or in the case of an OnCommand, directly from the main or sub-panel and not from the filter pump relay.

Page 14 Installation–Valve Actuator Ports (Jandy AquaLink) Shown below, on the Jandy AquaLink, are the cleaner and solar sockets with plugs installed. These sockets in many installations are not being used and would be open. Speeds are set in the TriStar VS timers menu, times are set in the controller. (All work performed must be done with power disconnected to the controller and pump) Note: Use the two outside wires of the actuator For this illustration, Actuator...
Page 15 Installation–Valve Actuator Ports (Jandy AquaLink) If an open actuator port is not available, or more than 4 speeds is needed, one of the existing ports being used can be piggybacked in some situations. The wiring for this tie-in is shown below. Care needs to be taken to ensure that the speed being used corresponds with the use of the actuator, since both will be activated simultaneously .
Page 16 Installation–Relay Connected Controls (Non Hayward/Goldline third party controls) Pump power (230 VAC) needs to be brought into the “line in” contacts on the Filter Pump Relay from a breaker in the control box. The “load out” side will feed the incoming high voltage for the pump.
Page 17 Installation–Relay Connected Controls (Non Hayward/Goldline third party controls) 2. DC voltage from RS485 needs to be brought into the “line in” contacts on the Aux Relays being used. Load out from the Aux Relays will go to Step 1, 2 , or 3 as needed. “COM” on RS485 connects to “ICOM”...
Page 18 Installation–Relay Connected Controls (Non Hayward/Goldline compatible software & third party controls) 3. The number of speeds available depends on the number of aux relays used. • Filter pump relay plus 1 auxiliary relay allows control of 2 speeds. • Filter pump relay plus 2 auxiliary relays allows control of 4 speeds.
Page 19 Installation–Remote Stop Switch Wire the remote stop switch to terminals “OVRD” and “ICOM” on Digital Input block of pump. Note: The emergency switch needs to be a latching style that is normally open (NO). Some switches have wiring for both NO and NC (normally Closed). Refer to the e-switch for its internal wiring. When the switch is pressed the 24v circuit is completed and the pump will shut down operation.

Page 34: Operation
Operation Once configuration is completed and 1 or more timers are set, the pump will begin to operate, as long as one or more of the timer settings matches the current time. If the timer setting does not match the current time, the pump will not start unless one of the speed buttons or the quick clean button is pressed.

Page 36 Programming Scenarios Below is one possible Stand Alone scenario. Timer 8: Pump comes on at 6 am and goes off at 5:45 am Set to run the entire timing sequence at the low speed setting. The lower the timer number the higher the priority. In other words, timer 1 will override timer 8 settings if they are set over each other.
Page 37 Diagnostics Press the Menu button until the Diagnostic screen appears This menu provides important (fig 54). information about the performance of the pump that can be used during troubleshooting. Below are the different screens and their meaning. These are all real-time displays.
