4. This sequence will then repeat for STEP 2 and then STEP 3 with- out the VGreen 085 stopping. 5. At the end of STEP 3, the VGreen 085 will wait if necessary for the completion of the 24-hour schedule. During this waiting period (if applicable), all of the “active step LEDs”...
OVERRIDE The VGreen 085 is equipped with an OVERRIDE feature, which can be engaged to temporarily run at higher or lower speeds ranging between 600 to 3450 RPM. Once the OVERRIDE duration has elapsed, the VGreen 085 will automatically return to the programmed schedule. 1.
NOTE: Pressing/Holding OVERRIDE key for more than three (3) seconds will cancel OVERRIDE mode. NOTE: During the OVERRIDE mode, the VGreen 085 will not start with the priming sequence. NOTE: It is recommended that you do not set the OVERRIDE duration to 0 HRS.

2. Press the UP (+) or DOWN (-) arrows to set the desired delay time after which the 24-hour schedule should start. The Schedule Advance mode will automatically start after the desired delay time is selected. The Schedule Advance mode can be canceled by press- ing the STOP key.
Key Lockout Key lockout will not prevent the motor from being stopped by pressing the STOP button. If the motor is operating in “key lockout” mode, and being controlled through a digital or serial input, the motor will only temporarily stop (4 min.) it will then restart. The VGreen 085 user interface has a “key lockout”...
Motor Pause The VGreen 085 user interface has a “motor pause” feature that will allow the user to temporarily stop the VGreen 085 for maintenance work without disrupting the 24 hour schedule (i.e., for backwashing the filter). If the VGreen 085 is currently running, the user can press and hold the START button for more than three (3) seconds and the VGreen 085 will stop and remain off until the user presses and holds the START button again for more than three (3) seconds.
6.10 Reset Factory Defaults The VGreen 085 user interface has a “Reset to Factory Defaults” feature to restore the schedule settings back to the original values programmed at the factory. The user must press and hold the STOP and OVERRIDE buttons for three (3) seconds to reset the settings back to factory defaults.
Control with Digital Inputs The user can run the VGreen 085 at the programmed STEP 1, STEP 2, STEP 3, or OVERRIDE speeds by utilizing the four digital inputs. STEP 1, STEP 2, STEP 3, or OVERRIDE are equivalent to Digital Input 1, 2, 3 or 4 respectively.
NOTE: If no digital input is detected, the VGreen 085 will automatically start the 24 hour schedule if the START key was pressed prior to the application of a digital input. Access to these terminals is in close proximity to the mains connectors which carry line voltage capable of causing personal injury or damaging the equipment if contact is made.
Care and Maintenance The VGreen 085 is both reliable and robust in harsh environments. However, this product does contain electronics that are cooled by a fan mounted to the VGreen 085. In order to ensure optimum reliability of this product, it is recommended to clean the fan inlet on the back of the VGreen 085 once a month.
