2.9 Controller connector socket
The nEXT pump has a 3-way Controller Connector Socket in the side of the Controller. When you receive the pump,
this connector will be concealed by a black protective cover. If you intend to use the connector, this cover should
be removed by levering with a small screwdriver. The mating plug for this connector is supplied with the pump.
The connector is intended to drive a vent valve or fan connected to the three pins. The connector mating plug is
shown in Figure 7, with the polarity of the pins marked when the vent valve/fan is energised.
