INTRODUCTION
Drive Features
The pump features a premium eciency variable
frequency drive that provides exibility in terms of motor
speed and duration settings.
This pump is for use with 115/208-230 Vrms nominal,
and in pool pump applications ONLY. Connection
to the wrong voltage, or use in other applications may cause damage to
equipment or personal injury.
The pump's drive controls the speed settings as well as
run durations. The pump can operate at speeds ranging
between 450 and 3450 RPM and will operate within the
voltage range of 115-230 Vrms nominal at either 50 or
60Hz input frequency.
The pump is intended to run at the lowest speeds
needed to maintain a sanitary environment and, at the
same time, minimize energy consumption. Factors
such as pool size, the presence of additional water
features, type of chemicals used to maintain sanitary
conditions, and local environmental factors will impact
optimal programming to maximize energy conservation.
Determining the optimal settings and programming for
your pool may require some trial-and-error.

External Control
This pump can be externally controlled via digital inputs
using the Digital Input Wiring Kit (P/N 353129Z - Almond)
or the RS-485 Automation Wiring Kit (P/N 356324Z -
Black). See External Control via Digital Inputs, page 6.
SuperFlo VST and SuperMax VS pumps can be
externally controlled by most Pentair control systems
via an RS-485 connection using the RS-485 Automation
Wiring Kit (P/N 356324Z - Black). The pump address
and other settings can be programmed from the pump's
keypad. See External Control via RS-485, page 5.
When connected to external controls, the pump will
prioritize commands as follows:
RS-485 > Digital Inputs > Drive Programmed Schedule
Refer to the control system manual for further details on
how to connect and program your pump with your control
system.
