Setting up the remote control
The Badu EcoM3 consists of an operator control panel and the system electronics that drive the motor
along with a ten (10) foot remote controller cord. Speeds can be changed by the controller at the top of
the motor or remotely by use of a remote controller (External controller not provided, available through
Speck Pumps). This pump can also be plugged into an external controller, such as a time clock, to meet
all existing state or local codes. Figure 2: A 3 Channel time clock with potential free contacts. (Also called
"dry contacts") A device using "momentary switches" would also work. NOTE: If remote controller cable is
not used, the wiring needs to be isolated. The ends MUST NOT TOUCH or the speeds may be affected
To Connect to a Remote Controller:
1. Remove power from the Badu EcoM3 by disconnecting the high voltage lines or by opening any
breaker to which the pump power is connected.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn off all switches and main breaker in
the Badu EcoM3 electrical circuit before
starting the procedure. Failure to comply
may cause a shock hazard, resulting in
severe personal injury or death.

Voltage Checks

The correct voltage, as specified on the pump data plate, is necessary for proper performance and long
motor life. Incorrect voltage will cause the error light to turn on and cause damage to the motor if not
turned off immediately.
It is the responsibility of the electrical installer to provide data plate operating voltage to the pump by
ensuring proper circuit sizes and wire sizes for this specific application.
CAUTION: Failure to provide data plate voltage during operation will cause the motor to
overheat and void the warranty.
Pressure Test
WARNING: When pressure testing a system with water, air is often trapped in the system during
the filling process. This air will compress when the system is pressurized. Should the system
fail, this trapped air can propel debris at a high speed and cause injury. Every effort to remove
trapped air must be taken, including opening the bleed valve on the filter and loosening the
pump basket lid while filling the pump.
WARNING: Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid to be blown off, which can result in
death, serious injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly purged out of the system
before operating. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR CHECK FOR
LEAKS.
