10. IMPORTANT: When connecting the pump to an
automation system (IntelliTouch

, EasyTouch
®
,
SunTouch
®
Control Systems and IntelliComm
®
CommunicationCenter), continuous power must be
supplied to the pump by connecting it directly to the
circuitbreaker.Whenusinganautomationsystem,
be sure that no other lights or appliances are on the
same circuit.
Note: When the pump is started and stopped by
removing power with a relay or timer, a two-pole
device should be used to apply and remove power
tobothPOWERLINETERMINALS.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or
a qualified service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others
due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
