SAFETY Safety is emphasized throughout this user manual. These are safety alert sym- bols and signal words. They alert the user to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages to avoid possible injury or death or damage to equip- ment and other property.
INTRODUCTION The V-Green Automation Adapter provides the ability to operate a V-Green motor with a 3rd party automation system such as the Hayward Goldline Pro Logic, Pentair Easytouch, Jandy Aqualink, and Intermatic controls. This will allow the user to control and experience the full variable speed capability of a V-Green product through an existing automation system.

Mount the automation adapter inside of the automation system control box using double sided mounting tape supplied on the back of the adapter. Place unit so that the orientation of the input connectors are downward. NOTE: Automation adapter wiring is all low voltage; choose a mounting location away from all high voltage wiring.
Connect the 4 wires from the motor to the automation adapter. Figure 17: Motor Connected to Adapter Connecting to an alternate power source If you choose not to power the automation adapter from the V-Green motor, (J103 low voltage power supply) the automation adapter can be powered from any 10-14 VDC alternate power supply.
CONNECTING TO AN AUTOMATION SYSTEM Access to the connections referenced in the diagrams and instructions below could be in close proximity to mains connections which carry line voltage capable of causing personal injury or damaging the equipment if contact is made. Power should be turned off when accessing these areas.
Using automation system relays Connecting to Input (i.e. Low Voltage) side of Relays Connect IN1 to Relay 1 or any relay from the Automation System. Repeat this for IN2, IN3, and IN4 using different automation system relays for each input. Figure 20: Automation adapter connected to automation system using the automation system relays...
Connecting to Output (i.e. High Voltage) side of Relays Output Signal Powered by Automation Adapter From the 10V connection of the automation adapter board (CON1), run a wire to the input on desired relays. Run the output of the relay to the right pin of an input on the automation board.
Page 19
Output Signal Powered by Alternate Power Source From an alternate power supply (9-30 VAC/VDC), run a wire from the positive side of the power source (DC+) to the input on the desired relays. Run the output of the relay to the right pin of an input on the automation board. (IN1- IN4) Connect IN1-IN4 left pin with the common (DC-) of the alternate power source.
OPERATING A V-GREEN AUTOMATION ADAPTER Adjusting motor speed: Figure 23: Automation adapter board The motor speed for each input can be set independently. To do this, using the screw driver provided, turn the potentiometer clockwise or counterclockwise. Clockwise increases the speed and counterclockwise decreases the speed. The speed ranges from 600-3450 RPM.
