Wiring a new Hayward MaxFlo VSP to existing Aquaplus/PL-Plus/ProLogic panel and Hayward has (at least) two versions of the manual with directly opposite instructions on wiring. Rev.H says wire through relay and Rev.J says wire directly to breaker. The pump manual shows the communication wiring from the VSP A/B/COM back to the panel terminals 2/3/4. Rev.J is the manual that came with my panel 5 years ago.

So the answer, at least for my system, was to NOT wire through the relay but directly from the breaker to the pump. Great pump by the way. I get more flow at 60% less power than the single speed pump when running water features. At 30% speed it uses all of 42W and still skims. At 50% speed it's enough flow to keep my SWG flooded and uses all of 130W.
