OPERATION

Setting the Clock and Pump Address

When power is first connected to the pump the clock
will blink to indicate that is has not been set. Custom
schedules are based on this clock setting, so the clock
must be set first.
1. Press and hold Display for 3 seconds.
2. Use "+" and "-" to choose between a 12 or 24 hour
time format.
3. Press Display to advance.
4. Use "+" and "-" to program the current time.
Note: In the 12 hour time format AM/PM will
display in the bottom right corner.
5. Press Display to advance.
6. Use "+" and "-" to adjust the screen backlight
brightness.
7. Press Display to advance.
8. If controlling pump via RS-485: Use "+" and "-"
to assign one of four pump addresses, then press
Display to exit the menu.
If controlling the pump via digital inputs or from
the drive: Press Display twice to exit the menu.
During a power outage, the drive will retain the clock
setting for as long as 24 hours. If the power is out longer
than 24 hours, the clock will have to be reset. If the drive
has lost the user set time, the clock will continuously
blink until the time is reset.
Note: When power is returned to the pump after
a prolonged outage (24+ hours) the clock will
automatically set itself to the PROGRAM 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 filtration for
a typical pool. See Table 2 for default schedule.
Note: The Start/Stop button must be pressed, and the
Start/Stop LED illuminated, for the pump to run.

Programming Custom Schedules

To customize your pump's schedule, the pump must
be stopped. Ensure that the Start/Stop LED is not
illuminated.
The clock must be set before programming a custom
schedule, unless externally controlling the pump through
digital inputs. When controlling the pump by digital
inputs, schedules will be based on the automation
system's clock.
When programming, the LED next to the parameter you
are editing will blink.
"Spd" - Run Speed
"Time" - Start Time
"Duration" - Run Time
TO PROGRAM A CUSTOM SCHEDULE:
1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump.
2. Press "1". The PROGRAM 1 LED and "Speed/FL%"
parameter LED will blink while editing. See Figure 9.

4. Press "1". The PROGRAM 1 start time will display.
The "Time" parameter LED will begin to blink. See
Figure 10.
