External Control with IntelliComm Communication Center

The IntelliFlo VS-3050 can be remotely controlled by the Pentair IntelliComm Communication Center using an optional communications cable (P/N 350122). The IntelliComm provides four pairs of input terminal connections. These inputs are actuated by either 15 - 240 VAC or 15 - 100 VDC. Using the device's inputs, the programmed IntelliFlo pump speeds can be controlled.

If more than one input is active the highest number will be communicated to the IntelliFlo pump. The IntelliComm will always communicate to pump address 1.
