WARNING: A pool or spa pump must be installed by a qualified pool and spa service professional in accordance with the current National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation may 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.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION!
Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before servicing the enclosure or equipment connected to the enclosure.
Improper installation can create an electrical shockhazard that can result in death or serious injury.
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. Always disconnect the power to the pool light at the circuit breaker before servicing the light. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electrical shock.

Water temperature in excess of 100°F (37.7°C) may be hazardous to your health. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hypothermia. Hypothermia 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 hypothermia 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 hypothermia in hot tubs and spas.

WARNING:

• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia in hot tubs and spas.
• Do not use this product to control an automatic pool cover. Swimmers may become entrapped underneath the cover.
• For units intended for use in other than single-family 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 ft. (1.5 m) away, adjacent to, and within sight of, the unit.
• Except for listed spa-side remote controls, install a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the inside wall of the pool and spa.
• The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply 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.
• Use only copper supply conductor’s rated for 60C/75C sized based on ampacity to support all loads (refer to NEC tables).

CAUTION: For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center) Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or filter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter

IntelliConnect includes two high voltage relays for connecting equipment. Once equipment has been wired to a high voltage relay, it can be controlled via the Pentair Home app. Equipment that be can wired to IntelliConnect relays include; Booster Pumps, Color and White Lights, Single Speed Pumps and other flow dependent or non-flow dependent equipment.

Adding a Booster Pump or Other Flow-Dependent Equipment
Designating a relay as a “Booster Pump” or “Other (Flow-Dependent)” will ensure the filter pump is activated two minutes before the relay is activated; ensuring flow during relay operation.
When assigning a Booster Pump or Other Flow-Dependent equipment to an IntelliConnect relay:

1. Device Voltage: Select the voltage of the equipment connected to the particular relay.
2. Pump Speed: Set the speed the filter pump will run when the relay is activated.
3. Save: Press to save edits made at the relay screen. If you leave this page without saving all edits will be lost.

Adding a Light, Single Speed Pump or Other Non-Flow-Dependent Equipment

     If the Enabled/Disabled toggle is ENABLED the program will repeat at the same time each day and for the set time of day.

Freeze Protection Mode

**In areas that experience a short period of freezing temperatures, Freeze Protection Mode should be activated by sliding the Freeze Protection Mode toggle to the ON position.
Note: Freeze Protecion Mode settings can be accessed from Pump Settings. Refer to IntelliFlo Programming,
A strong and stable wireless connection is required for properly syncing freeze protection, as IntelliConnect uses data from the internet based weather service and updates hourly.
WARNING:
** If your wireless connection, internet or the weather service website is not working the IntelliConnect freeze protection feature will not function. Additional steps will be required to avoid property damage from freezing temperatures. Follow the instructions given in the pump and other equipment manuals to prevent freeze damage.
Freeze protection is designed to run the filter pump when air temperatures drop below the freeze protection set point for a short period of time. Freeze Protection will not guarantee protection from damage to pool, equipment or property during extended periods of cold. Contact your local pool professional for additional information on pool winterization to protect property and equipment in extended cold temperatures.

Removing Connected Equipment

Individual equipment Settings can be accessed by pressing the Settings icon ( ) in the top-right of any equipment screen.
At the bottom of the Settings screen, press REMOVE EQUIPMENT.
A dialogue box will appear asking you to verify removal of equipment from IntelliConnect. Press REMOVE to remove the equipment, or CANCEL to return to the Settings screen.
