RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION!
Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before servicing the enclosure or equipment connected to the enclosure. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service professionals, pool users or others due to electrical shock.

This product must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with the current National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CSA C22.1. All applicable local installation codes and ordinances must also be adhered to. 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.

Water temperature in excess of 100°F (37.7°C) 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).

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. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP.
Circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (i.e. locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover, filter lid, and valves to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death. Filter tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.

Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during service. Turn off all power to the pump.

Place filter manual air relief valve in the open position and stand clear of the filter until all pressure has been relieved and the pressure gauge reads 0 psi.

Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place all system valves in the "open" position to allow water to flow freely from the tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.

Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream of water appears. Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not higher than the pre-service condition.

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

For units intended for use in other than singlefamily dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to the occupants and shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) away, adjacent to, and within sight of, the unit.

Note: A relay designated as "Other (Flow Dependent)" will not activate during Freeze Protection.

If a single speed pump is the filter pump, that relay must be designated as "Single Speed Filter Pump" in the Pentair Home app to be recognized as such.

If an IntelliFlo pump connected via RS-485 is the filter pump, IntelliConnect will recognize it as such, unless there is a separate relay designated as "Single Speed Filter Pump" in the Pentair Home app.

Booster Pump
A booster pump should be wired to one of the two Relay terminals (FIGURE 6). Check the electrical rating marked on the pump motor before connecting it to the system.

In the Pentair Home app, the booster pump should be designated as "Booster Pump". If freeze protection is activated, this relay will activate.

Wiring a Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG)

When a salt chlorine generator is connected to IntelliConnect, a single speed pump designated as "Single Speed Filter Pump" or IntelliFlo pump MUST be connected.

A salt chlorine generator should be wired to one side of the RS-485 Terminal (FIGURE 6) according to the markings on the control board.

When an IntelliChlor or iChlor SCG is wired to IntelliConnect via an RS-485 cable, a power connection to the load side of the pump relay is not required. Digital commands sent from the IntelliConnect to the SCG will not allow chlorine production when there is low/no power to the single speed pump relay or when the IntelliFlo is not running.

Only wire the RS-485 cable's YELLOW and GREEN conductors to the RS-485 Terminal. Cut off and terminate unused conductors according to local and national electrical codes.

To adjust chlorine output while in Service mode: Place the IntelliConnect into Service mode, wait for three minutes, then adjust the output at the salt cell. The chlorine generator will operate at the new output once it is placed into Auto mode.

Wiring a Heater or Heat Pump
