Connecting IntelliFlo VS-3050 to an IntelliTouch System

The IntelliFlo VS-3050 can be controlled by an IntelliTouch system via the RS-485 communication cable (P/N 350122). In this configuration, IntelliTouch starts, stops and controls the speed of the IntelliFlo pump. When the IntelliTouch does this, it rewrites the IntelliFlo memory, which can take several seconds. This causes a delay after a command is given on the IntelliTouch control panel until the Intelliflo physically responds.

The IntelliFlo control panel is disabled when communicating with the IntelliTouch system. Note that IntelliTouch will not start communicating with the IntelliFlo until the appropriate pump address is assigned to a circuit. The IntelliFlo default pump address is one. See page 6 for details about how to check the address and change if necessary. For more information, refer to the IntelliTouch User's Guide (P/N 520102).

To connect the IntelliFlo communication cable to IntelliTouch load center:

1. CAUTION - Switch the main power off to the IntelliTouch load center.

2.Unlatch the IntelliTouch load center front door spring latches, and open the front door.

3.Remove the cover-panel screws securing the high voltage cover-panel, and remove it from the enclosure.

4.Loosen the two control panel access screws and fold down the outdoor control panel.

5.Insert the two-wire cable into plastic grommet on the bottom of the enclosure and route the wire up through the low voltage raceway to the Personality board.
