Welcome to TFP! Like Allen mentioned, you need RS-485 connections from the pump AND from your IC40 power center to the Intelliconnect. Both the pump and the power center should be powered directly from the breaker, not through the Intelliconnect. You only use RS-485 to control them. Are...

Thanks, but unfortunately the only thing left is the cable and the outlet where it used to be plugged in. I guess I need to spend the time and dig up the cable and see what shape it's in. I thinks it's really strange that no one has made a LED replacement for the FiberStar system.

I've been looking for an alternative off and on the last few years with no luck. The previous owners of my pool got rid of the light wheel but left the UltraGlow cable in the channel in the pool. A couple of times I thought I had found an LED cab;e option that would work, but never pulled...

While Pentair recommends installing the IC 40 vertically, they also recommend that your SWG should be installed after the filter and heater. Your best place for installation is where the old RJ+ is installed. As mentioned before, the IC 40 does not have to be installed vertically, and your...

Thanks for coming back and giving a final update on this thread. Glad everything is working!

If you send me a PM, I can give you the name and email of the person I was in contact with last fall and early this spring. I will tell you that I never received a response from him to the last email I sent in April after I opened my pool for 2024. Maybe Ron @MyAZPool has more info from his...

That’s how I have my pump scheduled and I’ve never checked to see if it shuts off or not. I don’t care. Attached it my schedule. I only run the highest speed when I quickly need to lower the water level a little bit, which is rarely. 1200rpm is 22gpm for me, so it skims well even at that low...

Well that's not ideal! Does the app show the pump is on when it's actually off? How did you start it back up? With the app or on the pump? The bigger question to me is why does the pump shut off after it primes. Is it scheduled to run 24/7 at a low speed? When I power on my pump, it...

Also, the RS-485 connector in the Intelliconnect only uses the green and yellow wires in the RS-485 cable.

Glad things are working now! How's the SWG working through the relay? Does everything seem good with that?

I'd start by reseating your RS-485 wires from the pump to the Intelliconnect just to make sure everything is ok there. The RS-485 block in the Intelliconnect pulls off to make it easier to screw down the connections (in case you haven't already figured that out). You've got the newer...

Your wiring diagram looks good to me, and your plan sounds good. Same old disclaimer - I’m not an electrician, etc etc etc. 😁 Glad I was able to give you some ideas to help get you ready for your install this weekend. Be sure to let us know how it goes!

Your diagram looks correct to me. I’m not positive, but I think the heater should be wired directly and not through the Intelliconnect. I’m not an electrician, but I know there should not be multiple wires under the contacts on the breaker. A pigtail with wire nut connections or junction box...

The AC Power connection on the left side of the high voltage area only provides power to the Intelliconnect. From there I have seen it wired 2 ways - 1) using jumpers from those 2 connections to the Line connections on the relay, or 2) having a line come directly from a circuit breaker to the...

Travis - Yes, you should change the 240v breaker for the pump to GFCI. Check out this link for more info on breakers. You are correct the pump connects to the Intelliconnect via RS-485. The Intelliconnect can be powered by either 120v or 240v and connects directly to the breaker. Your SWG...
