Page 4 of 24 STRATUM™ Model VR1000 P/N: ISVR1000TECH Rev: J General Information: The VR1000 Vacuum Release System is designed as a pump controller. The system will protect pool and spa equipment from certain known mechanical failures, such as clogged drains and pipe breakage; which can cause premature pump motor failure. The system monitors and recognizes a change in pressure and electrical power. When a change occurs, it will shut down the pump, and vent the suction line. Automatic soft start should provide notice to swimmers or bathers on pump startup. The VR1000 meets the requirements of ASTM Specification F2387-04. Meets ASME Standard 112.19.17. Meets UL standard 1563 as well as certified to Can/CSA Std. C27.2 No. 218.1. The VR1000 system will automatically restart in most instances. Should a manual restart be required, pressing the "OK" button will restart the system. "Unprotected" Mode can be entered, after restart, by holding "NO" & "OK" buttons. "Unprotected" mode lasts 30 minutes, providing NO protection for swimmers or bathers. DO NOT ALLOW SWIMMERS OR BATHERS IN THE POOL OR SPA WHEN THE SYSTEM IS IN "UNPROTECTED" MODE.
