Your display wires are still connected it looks like. Just have the wire with black yellow and bare wires attached to the connector in the pump
Omnilogic single speed pump replaced with VSP - how to configure? Wizard?

Hi Chris, Thanks for the help. The dip switches are all 0 but I *didn’t* realise the VSP needed to be rewired - I just disconnected the single speed at the pump and used the same wires into the VSP. I’ll take a look where that is connected - presumably as you suggested, into a relay. Hammering down with rain right now. Would that mean there is no voltage to the VSP? Would explain no response I guess.
Ref display wires - I just unplugged them at the display so those wires aren’t connected.

Went out with my umbrella - Pump HUA - aha! My 72 yo eyes only work in the vertical plane it seems! Yup - HUA where you said it was… Thanks. And, the VSP *is* hooked to the HV relay. Tomorrow morning I’ll rewire it direct to the breaker.
Thanks for pointing out that I hadn’t moved the HV from relay to direct break (doh, why didn’t I think of that? It is in the instructions too..) Done that now and VSP has 2 x 120v at pump. However, the Omni isn’t picking up an HUA from the VSP and I can’t fill in the blank box. I hope that pump *is* compatible (from INYO) - but insert says Omnilogic ok. I backed up the config to usb and trashed the pool setup then tried to define the VSP there in a new config; same result.
Stuck!

Ok tks. The power has been off overnight and still no joy. I’ll try it again tho.
The pool hasn’t had a pump on for a few days and needs pumping out. Is it possible to use the VSP in single speed mode controlled by the relay?

You need to disconnect the automation wire and reconnect the pump display to run the pump without the Omni.
I guessed I had to do that. When I did so, the display is reporting a com failure with display - check wiring. Is it rubber ducked?

Check the wire connections.
How long did you power the pump off for after you changed the wiring?
Do you have the pump on continuous power now?
pump is now on continuous power after being off for a few hours - I will recheck the wiring but when I first powered on the pump (without the bus control wire connected) it was giving the same “com error check display wiring” msg. I wonder if it is faulty.
Checked wiring - all tight and to spec. Yesterday I emailed Hayward support - a helpful Scott told me to reconnect the pump display, set dips 1 & 2 on and try stand alone. Did that and got same message I saw when I first connected it to HV (but not LV) - “comm error - check wiring between display and drive”. Scott then said seek warranty repair. (Fat chance as this, although brand new $2.5k, has sat in my garage for 1.2 years waiting for the single speed to fail). So, I suppose I need to find an Omni/VSP specialist. For now, I swapped in the water feature single speed pump just to filter/pump out the pool (been very wet down here in FL).
I hate going to the pool shop peeps but don’t know what else to try. Thanks for all the help found here. A useful resource found

Just to wrap this up - had a local Omni specialist round. Apparently the HV feed was the wrong polarity or something (I didn’t understand) but now all is well. HUA was picked up by Omni fine and its running nicely. Thanks again for all the help.
Thanks again for all the help.
