SAFETY SYMBOLS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • To make the best use of this energy-saving device and to avoid the potential risk of fire, electrical shock, SERIOUS injury to people or property damage, please read this user guide carefully before installation and keep it for future reference.
  • This device can ONLY be used with pool pumps with a permanent split capacitor motor. The schematic diagram below shows a typical single-speed swimming pool pump motor.

It is NOT compatible with

  • Single-phase motors with centrifugal switch
  • Pool pump motors with start relays or switch
  • Series or DC motors
  • Pool pump motors with faults in their rotors or capacitors
  • Shaded-pole asynchronous motors

An RCD with a rated residual current not exceeding 30mA must be used with this product.
If you are not sure of the compatibility of your pool pump with this device, please contact your supplier or manufacturer before proceeding with installation.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

  • Upon receipt of this device, check for damage to the packaging or product.
  • DO NOT PROCEED with installation if any damage is found; contact your supplier. Do not use extension leads with the device. This can pose a danger, particularly in the vicinity of a swimming pool.

Make sure the place you choose for installation meets the following conditions

  • Ambient temperature from -10~40℃
  • 45 to 90 percent relative humidity, non-condensing
  • Less than1000m above sea level
  • Keep out of direct sunlight
  • Good ventilation

For efficient cooling, please make sure it is installed with a minimum clearance surrounding it (Fig2)
Blocked ventilation or an enclosed space with limited airflow may cause the overheating or potential operational failure of the inverter.

CONNECTING TO POOL PUMP

Please follow these steps and the wiring diagram for the correct connection. The warranty may be compromised if the device is not installed under the instructions described in this manual.
Only ONE pump can be connected to the inverter. Please do not connect any other appliance to the output.
Mark the hole locations on the wall, drill and insert the expansion plugs supplied, fit the screws and hang the device on the screws.

  1. Turn off all electrical supply to the pool pump, and unplug it from the main switch or at the chlorinator which provides electrical power to the pump.
  2. Plug the pool pump into the device’s power outlet (marked PUMP CONNECTION ONLY).
  3. Plug the device into the main switch/chlorinator/timer connection where the pump was originally plugged into.
  4. Switch all power back on.
  5. Ensure the chlorinator/timer is active.
  6. Now the device is ready to operate.
  • The above figure is for reference only, plug & socket may vary for different countries/regions.

  • If you do not require a power plug for installation, wire the device as shown in Fig.4, please.

  • Do not touch the heat sink while the device is in operation or until at least 30 minutes after it has been switched off. Keep it out of reach of children.

  • Because of the high voltage conversion components contained in the device, do not try to disassemble or replace any components in case of malfunction or breakdown.

  • Before serving on the unit, wait till the power light is turned off or at least 3 minutes after the power plug has been plugged off from the input supply.

SETTINGS & OPERATION

Control panel

Mode selection
The frequency inverter has 3 modes(speed ranges). You can either run your pump at a constant speed choosing from “M” or set up to 4 timers for daily operation, each with an individual speed.

Mode Speed range Default speed
Night (Low) 1200~1650 rpm 1400 rpm
Day (Medium) 1700~2400 rpm 2000 rpm
Backwash(High) 2450~2900 rpm 2900 rpm

Once the pump has finished priming, the inverter will automatically switch the pump to the pre-set speed, indicating the pump is running and showing current rpm and power consumption.

Timer setting
To run the pump at different times or speeds to take advantage of lower electricity tariffs during the night, you can set up to 4 timers.

  • Step1: Press to enter the timer setting
  • Step2: Use to set the current time. Press to move the cursor to the next setting. Press to choose a speed range for timer 1, use to decide on a specific speed if required. Press to move the cursor to the previous setting.
  • Step3: Repeat the above steps to set the other 3 timers
  • Step4: Hold for 3 seconds or wait 10 seconds to save settings automatically. A flashing indicates the device is waiting for the start time.
  • Step 5: press to check all 4 timers to ensure there are no invalid settings.

Any overlapping of timer periods will be considered as invalid and the device will only run based on the previous valid timer setting.

  • During the timer setting, if you want to abandon it, hold for 3 seconds.

Note

  • If inactivate for 1 minute, the screen will lock automatically. Hold for 3 seconds to unlock the device.
  • The device has power-off memory, operation will resume upon power restoration.
  • Under OFF mode, hold for 3 seconds to retrieve the factory setting.

External control
External control can be enabled via the following contacts. However, even if it’s working via an external controller, Pressing can stop the device.
Please do not apply voltage to these inputs.

E.g.: To enable external speed control via digital input, connect one of the digits from Di2/3/4 to COM.

Parameter setting

  • Under OFF mode, hold for 3 seconds to enter parameter settings.
Parameter Description Default setting Setting range
1 Priming time 1 minute 1~10min, by 1-minute increments
2 Minimum RPM 1200rpm 1200~2000rpm, by 100rpm increments

PROTECTION & ERROR CODES

Item Code Description Analysis
1 E001 Abnormal input voltage Not faulty
2 E002 Output over-current Not faulty
3 E101 Heat sink overheat Contact your supplier
4 E102 Heat sink sensor error Contact your supplier
5 E103 Master driver board error Contact your supplier
6 E201 Circuit board error Contact your supplier
7 E202 Master board EEPROM reading failure Contact your supplier
8 E203 RTC time reading error Contact your supplier
9 E204 Keyboard EEPROM reading failure Contact your supplier
10 E205 Communication error Contact your supplier
11 AL01 Auto speed reduction against high temperature Contact your supplier

Note

  1. AL01 is not an error indication: when it appears the inverter will automatically switch to a lower speed to self-protect against high internal temperature. When the temperature drops back to 65℃ the inverter will resume at the preset speed.
  2. When causes for E002/E101/E103 lifts, the device will resume working automatically, however when it appears a fourth time, the device will stop working, to resume operation, unplug the device and plug in & restart again.
