External Control via RS-485

Pentair Intellipool can control the pump via RS-485
®
after firmware update to:
- Intellipool 5.10 or later revision
For more information on the update procedure and
to get latest firmwares, please visit:

If you have a previous version of the firmware, refer
to External Control via Digital Inputs on page 6.
When paired with the RS-485 Automation Wiring Kit
(P/N 356324Z - Black) the pump can be externally
controlled by a control system through an RS-485
communication cable.
Note: When externally controlled via RS-485, the
pump can only operate in Speed Mode. To operate in
Flow Mode digital inputs must be used.
Note: If the pump is manually stopped using the
Start/Stop button, the pump will not run until the
Start/Stop button is pressed. If the Start/Stop LED is
illuminated, the pump is active and can be controlled
externally.
Only the GREEN and YELLOW conductors will be used
to wire the pump for external control via RS-485. See
Figure 4.
Refer to the control system manual for specific details
on connecting and programming. Control systems using
older firmware may require the pump to be designated
as "IntelliFlo VS".

3. Strip the cable 3/4" (19 mm).
4. Strip the GREEN and YELLOW conductors 1/2" (13
mm).
5. Cut back and terminate unused conductors
according to local and national electrical codes.
6. Connect YELLOW and GREEN conductors to the
control system as shown in Figure 4.
7. Program the pump's internal clock and pump
address. Refer to Setting the Clock and Pump
Address, page 8.
8. Set PROGRAM 1 to a speed of 0 RPM and
duration of 24 hours. Refer to Programming Custom
Schedules on page 8.
9. Disable priming at the pump. Priming duration and
speeds will be controlled by the control system.
Note: If priming is not disabled at the pump,
priming will continue to be controlled by
the pump's programming. Refer to Priming
Adjustment, page 11.
10. Plug the communication cable into the pump's Com
Port (Figure 5).
