WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution:
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool
serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes
and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in
death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may
also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker and remove the
RS-485 communication cable from the pump before servicing the pump. Failure to
do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others
due to electric shock.
Water temperature in excess of 100° Fahrenheit may be hazardous to your health.
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when
the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body
temperature of 98.6° F. (37° C.).
The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure to
perceive heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4) Physical inability to exit
the spa. 5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. 6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of
drowning.
SVRS devices shall only be installed in conjunction with ASME A112.19.8 suction fitting,
or a 12 in. x 12 in. (305 mm x 305 mm) drain grate or larger, or an approved channel
drain system at each suction outlet or drain outlet.
All SVRS devices shall be factory set or field adjusted to site-specific hydraulic conditions.
Once installed, the system shall be tested by simulating an entrapment event.
A ball, butterfly, or sliding gate valve shall be installed within 2 ft. (0.6m) upstream from the
SVRS (between the SVRS and the protected suction outlet), or a test mat shall be used to
cover the suction outlet to simulate an entrapment event. There shall be three simulated
entrapment tests conducted to verify proper adjustment and operation of the device.
SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System) feature is DISABLED during priming. When
"SVRS" text is not displayed on the control panel screen, the SVRS feature is disabled.
The IntelliFlo® VS+SVRS pump ("pump") has been designed to specifically operate with
Pentair Water Pool and Spa control systems. Operating the pump with other manufacturers'
controllers may cause software failure of the pump, drive or other system components. Such
failure can result in severe personal injury (i.e., failure of the SVRS system, electrical shock)
or death. If installed properly, an IntelliComm® controller may be used to integrate other
manufacturer's controllers.
