Just installed this motor on what used to be a single speed whisperflo pump. It works fine with builtin schedule b but when i set the dip switches for communication with The Pentair panel pump is not turning on. I am using a Cat6 ethernet cable and i have run it through the same conduit as the power wires. Could that be causing problems. I certainly haven’t figured out how to set a variety of speeds but selected VS in the intelliflo pump menu and set a single speed for now. But pump will not turn on. Any tips?

High voltage and low voltage/communication wires should NEVER be run in the same conduit nor are they in the same compartment in the automation. That's the starting point.Just installed this motor on what used to be a single speed whisperflo pump.

Thanks. Yeah i thought that was a bad idea so i fixed that today. But still not workingHigh voltage and low voltage/communication wires should NEVER be run in the same conduit nor are they in the same compartment in the automation. That's the starting point.
I resolved problem. Another post said problem was resolved by swapping wiring connections. So i tried this now everything is working. Basically what this means for my easytouch system, i needed to follow the manual directions for intellitouch not easytouchThanks. Yeah i thought that was a bad idea so i fixed that today. But still not working

Gabe, I am having a similar issue. My Pentair EasyTouch is connected to the motor using the EasyTouch directions (black to green, yellow to yellow). Easytouch is saying connected, but the pump is not turning on. I was going to try the Intellitouch connection instructions (black to yellow, yellow to green) to see if that works. I was looking for the post you referenced because I was curious why the Century instructions are wrong or why it needed a different connection. Thank you.
