New Sta Rite IntelliPro VSF Variable Speed Pump

[Goheels1]

Just installed a new Sta Rite IntelliPro VSF Variable Speed Pump. Pump is running well, seems to be hooked up correctly. The Pentair Control Panel is reading the pump fine, but the pump is turning off at random times and not running to the assigned schedule on the control panel. What am I missing? How do I get the pump to run from the schedule on the control panel?

Go,

Do you have ScreenLogic???

If the pump's display says "Display not Active".. then the EasyTouch is in control of the pump.

So, something in your ET is telling the pump to shut off.

I doubt it is doing anything "randomly".. If you have Pool scheduled to run say 8 am until 4 pm.. and then you start turning the pool circuit on and off manually, you can confuse the system and it will just run until the egg-timer runs out.

I assume you know, but the ET's display in your pic is just for setting the speed.. It has nothing to do with when it runs..

Just leave it alone and see how it runs tomorrow...

Tell me what schedules you think you have... If you have ScreenLogic, show me this page..

Thanks For the reply Jim. I do not have a screen logic. Here is a pic of my ET schedule. I did flip breakers multiple times for hook up and labeling purposes.

Go,

Well, as I am sure you suspect, the pump should run from 6 am until 10 pm everyday, at 2400 RPM..

This assumes there are no other schedules or speeds set up..

If something else happens, see if you can record the time and speed.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Well.... the pump has never turned off. Running at 2400. I reset the ET in hopes that would fix it and it did not. I am stumped, it will not follow the schedule.

Go,

Are you sure that you only have that one schedule?

What is your "Pool" circuit Egg-Timer set for?

I'd reset the schedule for some shorter period of time and see of the pump will start and stop.. Say like 8 AM unitl 9 AM

I "assume" your clock is correct???

Does your system actually have an VSF option? Some only have VS or VF..

Sorry, but I can't think of any reason the pump would continue to run..

Well Jim... I'm not sure how but the pump is now reading the schedule. I deleted the old schedule and entered a new one and presto!

Thanks so much for the info and time, I'm sure I'll reach out down the road!
