It is NOT compatible with:

• a. Single phase motors with centrifugal switch
• b. Pool pump motors with start relays or switch
• c. Series or DC motors
• d. Pool pump motors with faults in their rotors or capacitors
• e. Shaded-pole asynchronous motors

WARNING: 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.

TECHNICAL DATA

BEFORE INSTALLATION

WARNING: Upon receipt of the device, check for any damages on the packaging or product. DO NOT PROCEED with installation if any damages are 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°C
• 45 to 90 percent relative humidity, non-condensing
• Below 1000m above sea level
• No direct sunlight
• Good ventilation

For efficient cooling, please make sure it is installed with a minimum clearance surrounding it (Fig2), a 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 by instructions described in this manual
Only 1 pump can be connected to the inverter. Please do not connect any other appliance to the output.
Mark the hole locations on the wall, install the expansion plugs supplied, fit in the screws, and hang the device on the screws.

• 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.

• Plug the pool pump into the device’s power outlet (marked PUMP CONNECTION ONLY). Make sure the total length of the output cable of the device and the power cable of the pool pump is not more than 2m.

• Plug the device into the main switch/chlorinator/timer connection where the pump was  originally plugged into.

• To reduce the electromagnetic interference, please connect the ground wire on the device to the ground terminal of the pool pump motor.

• Switch all power back on.

• Ensure the chlorinator/timer is active.

• Now the device is ready to run.

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

• Because of 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 turned off or at least 3 minutes after power plug has been plugged off from input supply.

SETTING & OPERATION

Control panel

• Day (Medium)
• Backwash (High)

Speed range

• 1200~1650 rpm
• 1700~2400 rpm
• 2450~2900 rpm

Default speed

• 1400 rpm
• 2000 rpm
• 2900 rpm

Upon completion of self-priming, the pump will automatically switch to the speed pre-set, indicates the pump is running and show the current RPM and power consumption

Timer setting
To run the pump at a different time or speed to take advantage of electricity tariffs during the day, you can set up to 4 timers.

Step1: Press to enter the timer setting
Step 2: Use to set the current time. Press

To move the cursor to the next setting. Press to
Choose a speed range for timer 1, and use it to decide on a specific speed if needed.

Step3: Repeat the above steps to set the other 3 timers
Step4: Hold for 3 seconds or wait 10 seconds to save the setting automatically.
A flashing indicates the device is waiting for the start time.
