So, I have a Jandy pool System.
Last year, I upgraded my main pool pump, and installed the IntelliFlow VS pump.
In order to control the VS pump, I upgraded my Jandy controls to the IQ20-RS control system.
The upgrade was pretty easy, and i was able to connect the VS pump using the old relay (#1) and the RS485 to the control cable from the VS.
Everything worked.
However, I ran into a problem where the control board on the Intelliflow died.
Pentair replaced it, but said that the issue was that I was not using their "Intellicom II" control interface as an interface between the Jandy controller and the Intelliflow pump. They said that the warranty would be void if I did not use this interface.
Since then, I've been running with the pump disconnected from the controller, essentially as a single-speed pump.
So, I finally got around to ordering, and installing the Intellicom II controller.
The Instructions said to connect the Power from the Jandy RS485 to the Intellicom RS485, to connect the data from the Intelliflow pump to the Intellicom RS485 and to connect the RELAY from the Intellicom2 to the JandyRS.
nothing works.
From what I can figure out.
With the original system.
The Jandy RS Relay #1 went to the power interface, and would power the Pump on and off.
The RS485 on the Jandy would then speak to the Pump, telling it what speed to run at.
The new system has the Intellicom controller acting as a middle-man.
However, there is nothing to power the pump ON, so the pump never comes on.
Also, with the new system setup, even if the pump was powered on, and the control system from the Intellicom to the pump were working, then I cannot see how the Jandy would be able to see the speed data from the pump, and would not be able to control the speed.
What am I missing?
