Operating the Pump in Flow Mode
When connected to an inline 4-20mA owmeter, this
pump is capable of maintaining a constant ow based on
the needs of your pool system.
Connecting a owmeter and operating the pump in ow
mode will require the purchase of:
• Digital Input Wiring Kit (P/N 353129Z - Almond)
or RS-485 Automation Wiring Kit (P/N 356324Z -
Black).
Flow mode operation is not possible if controlling the pump
via RS-485.
• A 4-20mA Flowmeter (Pentair recommends P/N
97014-4203KIT)
Flow Mode Setup and Conguration
Before beginning ow mode setup and conguration,
ensure the pool lter has been backwashed and all
pump and skimmer baskets are free of debris.
1. Press Start/Stop to stop the pump.
2. Following the installation instructions given in
the owmeter’s installation guide, install an inline
4-20mA owmeter into the plumbing.
3. Using the Digital Input Wiring Kit, wire the owmeter
to the pump’s digital input port. See Figure 18A.
Note: Flow mode is not compatible with external
control via RS-485. However, a owmeter can still
be connected. See Figure 18B.

11. At the owmeter, congure the owmeter:
K Factor: Refer to owmeter manual
Averaging: 10-30 (20 is recommended)
Sensitivity: Refer to owmeter manual
4-Set: 0 GPM
20-Set: GPM displayed while pump motor is at
maximum speed set in step 8.
Note: Flowmeter conguration will timeout at the
drive after 10 minutes. If this occurs, repeat steps
4 through 10.
Note: The owmeter 20-Set will need to be
recongured each time the system’s lter is
cleaned.
