4.5. Electrical WARNING - All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). WARNING - Ground and bond pump before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground and bond pump can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to pump before working on electrical connections. Fire Hazard match supply voltage to pump nameplate voltage. Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the pump's voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the wire size is adequate for the amps rating and distance from the power source. Use copper conductors only. 4.6. Electrical Specs 1. Voltage: 230VAC, 60Hz, Single Phase 2. Amps: 0.4 - 11.0 3. Speed Range: 600-3450 rpm Use copper conductors only. For indoor & outdoor use. Connect pump to a 15 amp branch circuit in accordance with local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). A disconnecting means located at least 5 ft. from the inside wall of the pool, spa, or hot tub must be provided. 4.7. Voltage Voltage at pump MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below nameplate rated voltage, or components may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% (207 VAC) or more than 110% (253 VAC) of rated voltage (230VAC) when pump is running at full load, consult the power company. 4.8. Grounding and Bonding 1. Install, ground, bond, and wire pump in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements. 2. Permanently ground pump. Use green ground terminal provided under access plate; use size and type wire required by code. Connect ground terminal to electrical service ground. 3. Bond pump to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the pool with a continuous wire. Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing between bonded metal objects, which could potentially cause electrical shock if grounded or shorted. Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and general wiring procedures. 4. Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. 4.9. Wiring WARNING - All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and National Electric Code (NEC) 1. Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the circuit breaker as the master On-Off switch. 2. If the TriStar VS pump is being used to replace an existing pump that was controlled by a separate mechanical time clock, the TriStar VS pump should be connected directly to the line power supply, bypassing the time clock. The time clock can then be used to power other equipment (such as a heater, heat pump, or booster pump) that requires the filter pump to be operating when used. If the time clock is used in this manner, it should be set to Page 10 of 36 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS TriStar VS Pump IS3200VSP Rev-C
