OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
tild VP v2.0EN
4. Installation and connection
For safety reasons and in compliance with the NF C15-100 standards, the tild VP control box
must be installed
• either at over 3.50 m from the pool edge. This distance takes into account the distance around
obstacles. If the tild VP control box is installed behind a wall, the distance will include the
length of the path taken to move around the wall to reach the box.
• or in an in-ground space in the immediate vicinity of the swimming pool. In this case the
space must be accessible via a hatch which requires a tool to open it.
The control box is shipped without a power supply cable. It must be powered using a 230V
output protected by a 30mA ground fault circuit breaker in compliance with the NF C15-100
standard.
The tild VP control box is installed in several steps.
• Fix the tild VP control box to a wall (4 fixing screws)
• connect the different accessories controlled by the control box inside, as well as the power supply (see wiring diagram)
4.1. Pump protection
The pump is protected by a 16A magnetic-thermal circuit breaker. On your installation, the pump must be protected from short-
circuits and overheating risks (jammed motor shaft, wear, running empty, high surrounding temperature).
To prevent short-circuits, the magnetic-thermal circuit breaker delivered in the control box is perfectly suitable.
To prevent overheating risks, start by checking that the pump is self-protected using a built-in thermal safety device.
If that is not the case, or when in doubt, adapt the magnetic-thermal circuit breaker to the pump power consumption. In that
case you can use:
• A classic motor circuit breaker (with built-in thermal value) calibrated to the pump power
• Or a magnetic-thermal circuit breaker (C or D curve depending on the start-up current value) also calibrated to the rated
pump power.
As an example, for a 0.75 HP pump that consumes 4.5 A WITHOUT BUILT-IN THERMAL SAFETY, a 6 A thermal
protection should be provided.
