DISABLE PRIMING FEATURE ON THE PUMP
When the IntelliFlo® VSD2 pump is connected to an automation control system, the priming
feature on the pump cannot be disabled by the external automation control system only. If the
IntelliFlo® pump is connected to an automation control system and priming is not desired,
disable the priming feature on the pump.
To disable priming with an automation control system:
1. Temporarily disconnect the RS-485 communication cable.
2. Open the LCD screen lid to disable priming on the pump. Press the Menu button, use the
arrow buttons to scroll and select “Priming”, then select “Disabled” (the factory default is
set to “Enabled”). Press Back to exit the menu.
3. Once priming is disabled, reinstall the RS-485 communication cable.
