VSF Variable Speed and Flow Pump Installation and User’s Guide
PUMP OVERVIEW
The IntelliFlo
®
VSF Variable Speed and Flow Pump
can be programmed to run at a speed or a constant
flow rate over set time intervals for maximum operating
efficiency and energy conservation for a variety of
inground pools.
External Control
Most Pentair automation systems and IntelliComm
®
Communication Centers can remotely control the
IntelliFlo VSF pump. The pump’s communications
address and other functions are accessible from the
pump’s control panel.
• RS-485 communication cable included
• IntelliComm systems control one IntelliFlo pump using
the 4 External Control programs.
Refer to the automation system manual for further
details on how to connect and use the system with
your variable speed pump.
• The pump can operate from 450 RPM to 3450 RPM
with four preset speeds of 750, 1500, 2350 and 3110
RPM, or the pump can be set to control its own speed
and maintain a constant flow rate.
• The pump can adapt to applications between 20 and
140 GPM. Simply program the pump to the desired
flow rate, and the pump will automatically adjust to
operating conditions to maintain that specific flow rate.
• Up to 8 customizable programs that can be set for
constant flow or speed in either Manual, Egg Timer
or Schedule modes.
• Pump control panel alarm LED and error messages
warn the user of improper operation.
• Programmable priming mode with automatic detection
of prime for easy start-up and automatic detection of
loss of prime.
• Compatible with most cleaning systems, filters, and
jet action spas.
• UL/CUL/NSF
Drive Assembly and Control Panel
The IntelliFlo VSF pump drive is designed to produce
maximum motor operational efficiency. The drive controls
the motor’s rotational speed by controlling the frequency
of the supplied current. It also protects the motor and
pump from operating outside of their intended operating
parameters.
The control panel can be mounted on the pump in four
different directions in order to provide the user the best
access. The control panel can also be mounted in a more
convenient location with the help of the keypad relocation
kit (P/N 356904Z).
