ENGLISH
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Safety Instructions
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Do not block pump suction, as this can cause severe injury or death. Do not use this pump for wading pools, shallow pools, or spas containing bottom drains, unless the pump is connected to at least two (2) functioning suction outlets, and/or in accordance with the latest version of ANSI®/PHTA®/ICC-7 the standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Catch Basins. Suction outlet (drain) assemblies and their covers must be certified to the latest published edition of ANSI®/ASME® A112.19.8, or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
To reduce the risk of property damage or injury, do not attempt to change the backwash (multiport, slide, or full flow) valve position with the pump running.
Jandy pumps are powered by a high voltage electric motor and must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified swimming pool service technician.
Due to the potential risk of fire, electric shock, or injuries to persons, Jandy pumps must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), all local electrical and safety codes, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). Copies of the NEC may be ordered from the National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169, or from your local government inspection agency.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. (For all permanently installed units intended for use on 15 or 20 ampere, 120 through 240 volt, single phase branch circuits). Connect only to a branch circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuitinterrupter protection for personnel (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. A GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Do not use the device. Disconnect the device and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.
· Do not connect the system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurized water producing pressures greater than 35 PSI.
· Trapped air in system can cause the filter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is out of the system before operating.
To minimize the risk of severe injury or death, the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping system pressurization test. Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These requirements are generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment such as filters or pumps. Zodiac® pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory. However, if the WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include the filter and/or pump, BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: · Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings and system accessories to ensure they are properly installed and secured before testing. · RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing. · Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI. · Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 100°F (38°C).
· Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
NOTICE: These parameters apply to Zodiac equipment only. For non-Zodiac equipment, consult equipment manufacturer.
Chemical spills and fumes can weaken pool/spa equipment. Corrosion can cause filters and other equipment to fail, resulting in severe injury or property damage. Do not store pool chemicals near your equipment.

CAUTION
Do not start pump dry! Running the pump dry for any length of time will cause severe damage and may void the warranty.
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas, if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub. The pump requires adequate ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the maximum ambient temperature rating listed on the motor rating plate.
In order to avoid premature failure or damage to the pump motor, protect the pump from direct water exposure from sprinklers, water runoff from rooftops and drainage, etc. Failure to comply may cause pump failure, and may void the warranty.
1.2 Pool Pump Suction Entrapment Prevention Guidelines
WARNING
SUCTION HAZARD. Can cause serious injury or death. Do not use this pump for wading pools, shallow pools or spas containing bottom drains, unless the pump is connected to at least two (2) functioning suction outlets and/or in accordance with the latest version of ANSI®/PHTA®/ ICC-7 the standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Catch Basins.
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose. The following guidelines provide information for pump installation that minimizes risk of injury to users of pools, spas, and hot tubs:
Entrapment Protection – The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazards of suction entrapment.
Suction Outlet Covers – All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in place. All suction outlet (drain) covers must be properly maintained. They must be replaced if cracked, broken, or missing. Drain covers must be listed/certified to the latest published edition of ANSI®/ASME® A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. The pool must be shut down and bathers must be restricted from entering the pool until any cracked, broken, or missing drain covers are replaced.
Number of Suction Outlets Per Pump – Provide at least two (2) hydraulically-balanced suction outlets, with covers, as suction outlets for each circulating pump suction line. The centers of the suction outlets (suction outlets) on any one (1) suction line must be at least three (3) feet apart, center to center. See Figure 4.
The system must be built to include at least two (2) suction outlets (drains) connected to the pump whenever the pump is running. However, if two (2) suction outlets run into a single suction line, the single suction line may be equipped with a valve that will shut off both suction outlets from the pump. The system shall be constructed such that it shall not allow for separate or independent shutoff or isolation of each drain. See Figure 4.
Additional pumps can be connected to a single suction line as long as the requirements above are met.
Unblockable SOFA If acceptable by local code and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), a single unblockable SOFA may be used. For an unblockable SOFA to qualify as an unblockable drain under the Virginia Graham Baker Act (VGBA), the Suction Outlet Fitting Assembly (SOFA) shall be certified as unblockable, and be designated by the manufacturer as unblockable, and the manufacturer’s instructions must state the SOFA is authorized for use as an unblockable suction outlet in accordance with ANSI/APSP/ICC-16. Certified unblockable SOFA’s must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the latest edition of ANSI/PHTA/ICC-7, and applicable local code.
Water Velocity – The maximum water velocity through the suction outlet assembly and its cover for any suction outlet must not exceed the suction outlet assembly and its cover’s maximum design flow rate. The suction outlet (drain) assembly and its cover must comply with the latest version of ANSI®/ASME® A112.19.8, the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs, or its successor standard, ANSI/ASME APSP-16.
Testing and Certification – Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16, the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs.
Fittings – Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings (but at least two (2) suction outlets, or certified unblockable SOFA).
Avoid fittings that could cause an air trap.
Pool cleaner suction fittings must conform to applicable International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.

Section 2. General Description
2.1 Introduction
Jandy Variable-Speed Pumps can be run from 600 RPM to 3450 RPM. This allows you to select the most appropriate speed for your application. Pumps in this manual are compatible with all Jandy controllers and Jandy automation systems. The pump is driven by a variable speed ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) directly attached to the pump impeller. The motor spins the impeller which forces water to flow through the pump. As the speed of the motor is varied, the flow through the pump is also varied.
The adjustable flow rate allows for optimization of flow during the varying pump cycle requirements. As a result, the energy efficiency of the pump is maximized resulting in cost savings to the pool owner while also helping to save the environment.
This manual contains information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of pumps listed in this manual. Procedures in this manual must be followed exactly. To obtain additional copies of this manual, visit Jandy.com.
2.2 Product Dimensions
NOTE: When installing a pump, leave a minimum of two (2) feet (30 cm) of clearance above the pump for removal of the strainer basket, working in the wiring compartment, and for opening a closing the lid on the pump controller.

Jandy® Variable-Speed Pumps | Installation & Operation Manual
Section 3. Installation Information
3.1 Zero Clearance TEFC Motor
The Jandy pumps in this manual feature a Zero Clearance Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) motor. Unlike most TEFC motors which draw in cool air from the back of the fan shroud and require 2″-3″ of clearance, the Jandy Zero Clearance TEFC motor pulls in air from the top, bottom and sides of the fan shroud. The Zero Clearance TEFC motor makes it possible to install the pump with minimal clearance between the back of the fan shroud and potential obstructions such as a fence or foundation. Clearance must still be provided on the sides of the motor and fan shroud to allow for adequate air-flow and maintenance of the pump.
3.2 Plumbing
3.2.1 Preparation Information
1. Check the pump carton for any damage. If any damage is found, contact the shipper or distributor where the pump was purchased.
2. Inspect the contents of the carton and verify that all parts are included.
3.2.2 Pump Location
Zodiac Pool Systems LLC recommends installing the pump within one foot (30 cm) above water level. The pump should not be elevated more than 5 feet (152 cm). If the pump is located below water level, isolation valves must be installed on both the suction and return lines to prevent back flow of pool water during any routine or required servicing.
WARNING
A check valve can interfere with the proper operation of certain Suction Vacuum Release System (SVRS) products. To avoid possible entrapment hazard, serious injury, or death, make sure to review the operation/ owners manual of your particular SVRS product before installing the check valve.
To Reduce the Risk of Fire, install pool equipment in an area where debris will not collect on or around the equipment. Keep surrounding area clear of all debris such as paper, leaves, pine needles and other combustible materials.
CAUTION
In order to avoid premature failure or damage to the pump motor, protect the pump from direct water exposure from sprinklers, water runoff from rooftops and drainage, etc. Failure to comply may cause pump failure, and may void the warranty.
1. Install the pump such that any disconnecting means and/or junction boxes for power connection are within sight of the pump and at least five feet horizontally from the edge of the pool and/or spa. Choose a location that will minimize pipe turns.
NOTE: In Canada, the minimum distance maintained from the edge of the pool and/or spa as noted above must be 3 meters (10 feet), as required by the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC, CSA C22.1).
2. Place the pump on a solid foundation that will not vibrate. To further reduce the possibility of vibration noise, bolt the pump to the foundation.
3. Assure that the foundation has adequate drainage to prevent the pump motor from getting wet. The pump needs to be protected from the rain and sun.
4. Make sure the pump has the proper ventilation to prevent the motor from overheating.
5. Allow plenty of space for any maintenances by leaving a clear area around the pump.
6. Provide adequate lighting if the equipment is in a potentially dark area.

Table 1. Pipe Sizing Chart for Schedule 40 PVC
3.2.3 Installation Recommendations
1. To help prevent difficulty in priming, install the suction pipe without high points (above inlet of pump – inverted “U”s, commonly referred to in plumbing as an airlock) that can trap air. For installations of equipment up to 100 feet (30 m) from the water, refer to Table 1, the pipe sizing chart. For installations of equipment more than 100 feet (30 m) from the water, the recommended pipe size must be increased to the next size.
Bad Install
NOTE: When the pool equipment is located below the pool surface a leak can result in large scale water loss or flooding. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC cannot be responsible for such water loss or flooding or damage caused by either occurrence.

be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the latest edition of ANSI/PHTA/ICC-7, and applicable local code.
4. The piping must be well supported and not forced together where it will experience constant stress.
5. Always use properly sized valves.
6. Use the fewest possible fittings and limit the use of 90 degree elbows. Each additional fitting or length of pipe increases resistance to flow which makes the pump work harder.
NOTE: If more than ten suction fittings are needed, the pipe size must be increased.
7. Every new installation must be pressure tested according to local codes.
3.2.4 Adjustable Bases VSFHP Models
To replace an existing pump with different dimensions, use the adjustable bases to correctly align the suction and discharge ports with existing plumbing. The VS FloPro base and spacers increase the total height of the pump and the height of the suction side port of the pump. See Figure 5 and Table 2.
Sweep Elbows In/Out for Maximum Efficiency
2. The unions on both the suction and discharge ports simplify installation and service while eliminating the possibility of leaks at threaded adapters.
3. The pump must be connected to at least two hydraulically-balanced main drains for each pool pump suction line. Each drain (suction outlet) assembly must be provided with covers and must be listed or certified to the latest published edition of ANSI®/ASME® A112.19.8, or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. The suction fittings of the main drains must be at least three feet (1 m) apart or at different planes. The suction fittings can be a drain and skimmer, two drains, two skimmers, or a skimmer with an equalizer line installed. Check the local codes for proper installation.
NOTE: To prevent entrapment, the system must be built so it cannot operate with the pump drawing water from only one main drain. At least two main drains must be connected to the pump when it is in operation. However, if two main drains run into a single suction line, the single suction line may be equipped with a valve that will shut off both main drains from the pump.
Unblockable SOFA If acceptable by local code and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), a single unblockable SOFA may be used. For an unblockable SOFA to qualify as an unblockable drain under the Virginia Graham Baker Act (VGBA), the Suction Outlet Fitting Assembly (SOFA) shall be certified as unblockable, and be designated by the manufacturer as unblockable, and the manufacturer’s instructions must state the SOFA is authorized for use as an unblockable suction outlet in accordance with ANSI/APSP/ICC-16.

3.3.2 Bonding and Grounding
In addition to being properly grounded as described in Section 3.3.3, Electrical Wiring, and in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC), or in Canada the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), the pump motor must be bonded to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa or hot tub structure and to all electrical components and equipment associated with the pool/spa water circulation system. The bonding must be accomplished by using a solid copper conductor, No. 8 AWG or larger. In Canada No. 6 AWG or larger must be used. Bond the motor using the external bonding lug provided on the motor frame. See Figure 9.
National Electrical Code® (NEC®) requires bonding of the Pool Water. Where none of the bonded pool equipment, structures, or parts are in direct connection with the pool water; the pool water shall be in direct contact with an approved corrosion-resistant conductive surface that exposes not less than 5800 mm² (9 in²) of the surface area to the pool water at all times. The conductive surface shall be located where it is not exposed to physical damage or dislodgement during usual pool activities, and it shall be bonded in accordance with the bonding requirements of NEC Article 680. Refer to locally enforced codes for any additional bonding requirements.
Figure 7. Snap Spacers Into Place
3.3 Electrical Installation
3.3.1 Voltage Checks
The correct voltage, as specified on the pump data plate, is necessary for proper performance and long motor life. Incorrect voltage will decrease the pump’s ability to perform and could cause overheating, reduce the motor life, and result in higher electric bills.
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.
The National Electrical Code® (NEC®, NFPA-70®) requires all pool pump circuits be protected with a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI). Therefore, it is also the responsibility of the electrical installer to ensure that the pump circuit is in compliance with this and all other applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any other applicable installation codes.
All variable-speed pumps, regardless of brand, make or model, are prone to create nuisance trips on GFCI breakers. Siemens® QFP or QF series GFCI breakers are highly recommended to minimize or eliminate these occurrences and offer 5 milliamp personal protection while meeting 2008 to current NEC standards for pool pumps.
CAUTION
Failure to provide data plate voltage (+/- 10%) during operation will cause the motor to overheat and may void the warranty.
WARNING
Always disconnect the power source before working on a motor or its connected load.
Make sure that the control switch, time clock, or control system is installed in an accessible location, so that in the event of an equipment failure or a loose plumbing fitting, the equipment can be turned off. This location must not be in the same area as the pool pump, filter, and other equipment.
CAUTION
The pump must be permanently connected to a dedicated electrical circuit. No other equipment, lights, appliances, or outlets may be connected to the pump circuit.
3.3.3 Electrical Wiring The Jandy pump models covered in this installation and operation manual provide separate compartments for high voltage and low voltage wiring. The low voltage compartment provides 2 openings: · RS-485 quick connect port (see Figure 8)
NOTE: If the RS-485 Quick Connect Port is not used, a 3/8″ liquid-tight cord-grip must be used to provide strain relief and water tight seal. Use Jandy r-kit part number R0501100 or an equivalent alternative.
· 3/8″ conduit port (threaded) The high voltage compartment provides 3 conduit port openings (see Figure 9): · 1/2″ (threaded) · 1/2″ (threadless) · 3/4″ (threadless) Conduit fittings (not included) are required. Conduit must be liquid-tight after installation.

When setting up pumps using this method, the pump address of each pump will initially appear in the unassigned pump address section of the iAquaLink App or other automation setup device. Utilize the App or other device to complete pump setup.
3.6.1 Auxiliary Relay Operation
Auxiliary Relay contact activation is speed dependent. Auxiliary Relay 1 has an activation speed of 1725 RPM and Auxiliary Relay 2 has an activation speed of 2250 RPM.
The Jandy SpeedSet controller provides the ability to reprogram the Auxiliary Relay open/close speeds for customization. Open/close speed settings that are changed using this feature are permanent even if the SpeedSet controller is disconnected.
Please refer to the “Settings” section in the Jandy SpeedSet controller I/O manual for additional details.
Page 14
Jandy® Variable-Speed Pumps | Installation & Operation Manual
ENGLISH
3.6.2 Contact Closure
From a stopped condition, there is a three-minute delay before the Auxiliary Relay contact is closed when the motor speed reaches and maintains the activation speed.
Once the three minute run time criteria has been reached, when going from an RPM below the activation speed to an RPM above the activation speed, there is a 5-second delay before the Auxiliary Relay contact is closed.
3.6.3 Contact Opening
When going from an RPM above the activation speed to an RPM below the activation speed, the relay opening is always immediate.
Section 4. Dry Contact Operation
External relays or switches can be used with the dry contacts if a Jandy controller is not connected to the RS-485 line. By creating a circuit that runs between the dry contact, the external switch/relay, and the common on the dry contact, when the circuit is closed the pump will turn on, prime at 2750 RPM for 3 minutes, and go to the pre-determined speed of the dry contact indefinitely until the circuit is opened by the external relay.
If no inputs are jumped to common, the RPM is zero. When any Jandy controller is connected through RS485, all dry contact commands will be ignored. Refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 for dry contact wiring. Refer to Table 5 for dry contact speed settings.
4.1 Dry Contact Speed Settings

4.2 Conduct Pressure Test
IMPORTANT
All VSSHP models come with an additional disposable O-ring for pressure testing. This is the blue pressure test O-ring (See Figure 14 and Figure 15). If you opened the pump lid before conducting the pressure test, the blue O-ring may fall out. If the blue O-ring falls out, it must be re-installed on the lid before beginning the pressure test Section 4.2.1, Replace Blue O-ring Before Pressure Testing, if necessary.
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 valve on the filter and loosening the pump basket lid while filling the pump.
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.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool professional. Circulation equipment that is not tested properly might fail, which could result in severe injury or property damage.
When pressure testing the system with water, it is very important to make sure that the pump basket lid is completely secure.
1. Before pressurizing the system, ensure the lock ring “locked” indicators align with the suction and pressure side ports on the pump.
2. Fill the system with water to eliminate trapped air. 3. Pressurize the system with water to no more than
35 PSI. 4. Close the valve to seal the water in the system. 5. Observe the system for any leaks or pressure decay. 6. If there are lid leaks, repeat this procedure.

Section 5. Operation
5.1 Startup
CAUTION
Never run the pump without water. Running the pump “dry” for any length of time can cause severe damage to both the pump and motor and may void the warranty.
If this is a new pool installation, make sure all piping is clear of construction debris and has been properly pressure tested. The filter should be checked for proper installation, verifying that all connections and clamps are secure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury or death, verify that all power is turned off before starting these steps.
5.1.1 Pump Below Water Level 1. Ensure the pump lid is secure by verifying the
“locked” indicators are aligned with the pump’s ports. Hand tighten only, do not use tools. Make sure valves are open and the pump unions are tight. 2. Open any isolation valves that may be in place between the pump and the pool’s main drain(s) and skimmer(s). 3. Open the air relief valve on the filter. This will allow air to begin to escape the system and fill the pump with water for priming. 4. Restore power to the pump and start the pump. 5. When water starts to come out of the air relief valve on the filter, close the air relief valve. 6. Inspect system for any leaks.
5.1.2 Pump Above Water Level 1. Open the air relief valve on the filter. 2. Remove the pump lid and fill the basket with water. 3. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris around
the lid O-ring seat. Debris around the lid O-ring seat may cause an air leak and will make it difficult for the pump to prime. 4. Tighten the lid by verifying the “locked” indicators on the lid are aligned with the pump’s ports. Hand tighten only, do not use tools. Make sure all valves are open and the pump unions are tight. 5. Restore power to the pump and start the pump. 6. Once the pump has primed and water comes out of the air relief valve on the filter, close the air relief valve and inspect the system for any leaks.
NOTE: All pumps in this manual are NSF-certified as being able to prime at heights up to 10 ft above the pool water level, at sea level. However, to achieve better self-priming, install the pump as close as possible to the water level of the pool.
See Section 3.2.3, Installation Recommendations for proper elevation and pipe size.
The default priming speed is 2750 RPM. The pump will take approximately 15 minutes to prime at this priming speed when the pump is located 10 feet above the pool water. If priming speed is adjusted to 3450 RPM, the pump should prime within 6 minutes at 10 feet above the water level. If the pump does not prime and all the instructions to this point have been followed, check for a suction leak. If there is no leak, repeat Steps 1 through 5. For technical assistance, call Zodiac Technical Support at 1.800.822.7933.
Section 6. Service & Maintenance
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the plastics, do not use lubricant or sealant on the O-ring. Only soapy water should be used to install and lubricate the O-ring.
6.1 Clean Pump Basket
Debris that accumulates in the pump filter basket will begin to block the flow of water. The pump filter basket needs to be inspected and cleaned on a weekly basis. Environmental factors may require more frequent inspection. 1. Inspect the pump filter basket for debris by
looking through the clear pump lid. This can be done with or without the pump running. If debris has accumulated, proceed to step 2. 2. Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is located below the water level, close the isolation valves on the suction and discharge sides of the pump to prevent backflow of water. 3. Turn the locking ring counter-clockwise to remove the lid. 4. Lift the basket out of the pump. 5. Thoroughly clean the basket. If necessary, use a garden hose, spray the basket from the outside to help clear the holes. Remove any remaining debris. 6. Replace the basket in the pump by aligning the opening with the suction pipe. If aligned properly, the basket will drop easily into place. Do not force it into place.
CAUTION
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be improperly seated, allowing an air leak, which could result in pump damage.
7. Remove the lid seal and remove debris around the lid seal seat, as this can allow air to leak into the system. Clean the lid seal and place it on the lid.
8. Replace the lid and locking ring. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air-tight seal. Do not use any tools to tighten the lid: hand-tighten only.

Zodiac Pool Systems LLC strongly recommends that you call a qualified service technician to perform any repairs on the filter/pump system. To locate a qualified technician, check your local yellow pages or visit ZodiacPoolSystems.com or ZodiacPoolSystems.ca and click on “Find a Dealer.”
Symptom Motor won’t start or the controller does not detect the motor
Motor does not start or starts but shuts off soon after The motor gets hot and shuts off periodically No power to controller
Auxiliary relays not working
Possible Cause/Solution
No power to the motor. Have a certified professional check the voltage on the main power terminal with the breaker on. The voltage must be within 10% of the motor rating plate voltage.
The motor experienced an error. Power cycle the motor. If the motor has experienced an error, a fault code may appear on the controller. In order to clear the error, turn off the main breaker connected to the motor. Wait at least 5 minutes before returning power to the motor. The voltage in the capacitors must be completely drained for a proper power cycle.
Improper low voltage wiring. The RS-485 connection must be secure with no broken wires. Inspect the low voltage wiring for signs of corrosion. If necessary cut the wires off and strip new leads. Make sure there are not any broken pieces of wire inside the RS-485 connector.
Broken low voltage wiring. The wire may have breaks somewhere between the motor and the controller. With all power off, take a multimeter and set it to Ohms/Continuity. Check continuity of each of the low voltage lines from the motor side to the controller side. Replace the RS-485 wires completely if necessary.
Improper low voltage wiring. Check the wiring of the RS-485 connector. Wire colors for pins 1-4 should be Red, Black, Yellow, Green.
Test the drive with the RS-485 jumper method. Using small sections of 22 AWG wire, jump pins 1 to 3 and 2 to 4. These wires can be made by cutting off a section of the RS-485 wires. Re-install the connector and attach the access cover. Apply power to the motor. The motor should spin at 2600 RPM indefinitely. If the motor works, there is a problem with the RS-485 line or with the controller. Contact Zodiac Technical Support at 1.800.822.7933.
DIP switches in the wrong configuration. The variable speed drive has two DIP switches; 3 and 4. These must both be in the OFF position for Pump 01. This is the configuration for all controllers that are not automation and the first pump for automation. If more than one variable speed pump is being controlled with an automation system, they must be in the proper configuration. Refer to the DIP switch section of the manual to configure the other motors..
Check the schedule. The motor will only turn on during programmed times set in the controller. Verify that the motor is scheduled to turn on at that time.
If the motor still has problems starting or continues to show faults, contact Zodiac Technical Support at 1.800.822.7933.
Debris may be stuck between the impeller and the diffuser. This will prevent the drive shaft from spinning and will cause the motor to experience an error. Have a certified professional check to see if the drive shaft is seized with all power off. A quick test can be inserting a 5/16″ Allen wrench through the back of the fan housing and into the drive shaft. Manually spin the drive shaft to check if it is seized. If large amounts of debris are found, check your strainer basket for breaks. Replace the strainer basket if necessary.
If the motor still has problems starting, contact Zodiac Technical Support at 1.800.822.7933.
Make sure that there is adequate room around the motor to circulate air and keep the motor cool. Have a qualified electrician check for loose connections and check the voltage at the motor while it is in operation. If the main voltage is outside of 10% of the motor rating plate, the motor may be experiencing excessive loads. Contact your local power surface provider.
This is exclusive to any controller that is not an automation system. The motor has the ability to power controllers through the RS-485 line. Have a certified electrician test the voltage on the RS-485 line while there is power to the motor. There should be between 8 and 12 Volts DC between pins 1 and 4. If the voltage is below or non existent, contact Zodiac Technical Support at 800.822.7933.
Improper low voltage wiring. Check the wiring of the RS-485 connector. Wire colors for pins 1-4 should be Red, Black, Yellow, Green.
Make sure that the motor is spinning at least 1725 RPM for equipment wired to Aux 1 and 2250 RPM for equipment wired to Aux 2. When first turning on the pump, there is a 3 minute delay before any contacts close. Allow 5 seconds before contacts close when minimum contact speed is reached.
The problem may be with the equipment wired to the relay. See the owners manual for the equipment to make sure the auxiliary equipment has not failed.
If the relays are still not engaging, contact Zodiac Technical Support at 1.800.822.7933.

Symptom No Communication with Automation
Dry Contacts not working
Possible Cause/Solution
The Jandy automation has lost communication with the pump. Remove power from the automation system and the pump. Wait five (5) minutes and return power to the automation system FiRST, wait one (1) minute, then return power to the pump.
Test the drive with the RS-485 jumper method. Using small sections of 22 AWG wire, jump pins 1 to 3 and 2 to 4. These wires can be made by cutting off a section of the RS-485 wires. Re-install the connector and attach the access cover. Apply power to the motor. The motor should spin at 2600 RPM indefinitely. If the motor works, there is a problem with the dry contacts or the dry contact lines. Contact Zodiac Technical Support at 1.800.822.7933.
Broken low voltage wiring. The wire may have breaks somewhere between the motor and the external switches. With all power off, take a multimeter and set it to Ohms/Continuity. Check continuity of each of the low voltage lines from the motor side to the controller side. Replace the dry contact wires completely if necessary.
7.1 Service Technician Maintenance
CAUTION
This pump must be serviced by a professional service technician qualified in pool/spa installation. The following procedures must be followed exactly. Improper installation and/or operation can create dangerous electrical hazards, which can cause high voltages to run through the electrical system. This can cause property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death. Improper installation and/or operation may void the warranty.
WARNING
Before servicing the pump, switch off the circuit breakers at the power source. Severe personal injury or death may occur if the pump starts while your hand is inside the pump.
7.1.1 Blocked Impeller
1. Turn off the pump. Switch off the circuit breaker to the pump motor.
2. Remove the lid and basket.
3. Look inside the pump and remove any debris.
4. Replace the basket and lid.
5. Switch on the circuit breaker to the pump motor.
6. Turn on the pump, and see if the problem is solved.
7. If the impeller is still blocked with debris and it is not possible to remove the debris using Steps 2 through 4, the pump will need to be disassembled in order to access the inlet and outlet of the impeller.
