Operating the Pump in Flow Mode

When connected to an inline 4-20mA flowmeter, this
pump is capable of maintaining a constant flow based on
the needs of your pool system.
Connecting a flowmeter and operating the pump in flow
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 Configuration

Before beginning flow mode setup and configuration,
ensure the pool filter 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 flowmeter's installation guide, install an inline
4-20mA flowmeter into the plumbing.
3. Using the Digital Input Wiring Kit, wire the flowmeter
to the pump's digital input port. See Figure 18A.
Note: Flow mode is not compatible with external
control via RS-485. However, a flowmeter can still
be connected. See Figure 18B.

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