WARNING All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with all applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electrical Code (NEC) including a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see manufacturers instructions. Pump MUST be permanently connected to GFCI. WARNING Failure to bond pump to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the electrician must comply with installation instructions and must bond the pump accordingly. In addition, the electrician must also conform to local electrical codes for bonding requirements. Notes to the electrician:

Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general wiring procedures. NOTE - The National Electrical Code (NEC) permits use of a cord with a maximum 3 ft. (1 m) length. If your pump is equipped with a cord complying with the NEC, the preceding four (4) hazards apply.
WARNING Suction Entrapment Hazard.
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards: Hair Entrapment- Hair can become entangled in suction outlets. Limb Entrapment- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb. Body Suction Entrapment- A differential pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment. Evisceration/ Disembowelment - A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration (disembowelment). Mechanical Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet or suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
When installing the VR1000 system on a two speed pump that requires suction lift (Self priming), the VR100 must be installed within 10 feet of the pump. This requirement is primarily due to the low vacuums generated by the low speed. On flooded suction applications, an extension of the vent tube above the water line will provide the venting required. On flooded suction with a two speed pump, not only is a relatively short vacuum tube (Under 8) required, but the VR1000 Zero Vacuum sensor may need to be reset, if the VR1000 does not stabilize in low speed. This is a special condition in that the head pressure from the flooded suction should be considered in the Zero of the Vacuum sensor. DO NOT disconnect the vacuum tube. Reset the 1st Stab Occurred after this Zero event. The current system has been tested in flooded suction conditions up to 4 below the surface of the pool. In Flooded suction the maximum measured vacuum must be below 20 Hg when operating. This may require throttling a down stream valve. The VR1000 is designed to be used on a single pump or a combination of a single pump with a booster pump, on a common suction line.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS SPARE PARTS
DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE SOURCE.
The solenoid valve (VRX100E) (See Fig 9) is replaced by disconnecting the two wires marked Solenoid from the board. Disconnect the tubes from the solenoid valve, by pushing the fitting ring in toward the valve while gently pulling on the tubing. Removing the two screws at the base of the valve will allow the solenoid valve to be removed from the box. To reinstall the solenoid valve the fittings must be removed and replaced in the correct order. Replace TFE tape as needed. Per the labeling on the solenoid valve, the 5/16 tube fitting is installed in Port A The 1/4 tube fitting is installed in Port P. The metric (Gray ring) fitting is installed in Port R. The short black 5/16 tubing is installed between the bulkhead and the solenoid valve. The small black tubing is a metric tubing and is installed between the board and Port R on the solenoid valve. The clear tubing is installed between the Vent fitting bulkhead and Port P of the solenoid valve. Install the two screws that were removed to hold the solenoid valve in place. Replace the wires in Solenoid position on the board. 2. Replacement Pump Contactors: (GLX-RELAY) (See Fig 9 and wiring diagrams) Two screws retain this contactor in place. Aux contactors are installed beside, and in line with the Filter Pump Contactor. Booster Pump contactor must be connected to MR3. The wires should run from the contactor to the board. Power is connected per the diagrams on Page 7. Apply the correct selected label to cover the low voltage side of the contactor. 3. Fitting Kit (VRX100KIT2) (See Fig 2) Includes all parts, except the tubing, shown. It also includes an extension clamp for larger size piping (up to 3). 4. The Fuse (VRX100H) (See Fig 9) is replaced on the board only if an abnormal power condition has occurred. 5. Tubing Replacement Kit: (VRX100PAK) (See Fig 9) This kit contains three pieces of tube to replace the tubing internally in the box. The board end of the metric black tube is held on by a Barb connection. Generally this end of the tube must be carefully slit to remove the tube. Replacement order is covered in Solenoid Valve replacement. 6. Vent Filter: (VRX100F) (See Fig 9) In the event that the system gets repeated S/S failures, this fitting should be inspected to determine it has not been painted or otherwise contaminated. Unscrew the fitting counterclockwise. Replace be screwing on the new filter clockwise. This kit includes fittings to extend the vent tube above the water level. 7. 25 of tubing: (CLX220J25) (See Fig 2) Replacement tubing in case the initial tubing has been damaged. 8. Circuit Board:(VRXPCBA) (See Fig 9) Mark wires with respect to current location on circuit board. Remove tube at connection to solenoid valve by pushing in the ring around the outside of the tubing and gently pulling the tubing out of the fitting. Remove the wires from the green connector strip on the board. Save the jumper from the stop switch connections. Loosen the screws that hold the wires that go from the board to the contactor on the contactor. Loosen the ground screw retaining the green wire from the board to the box. Remove and save the six screws holding the board in the box. Carefully lift the board from the box. It is recommended that the 4mm tubing be replaced when the board is replaced. Carefully replace the board secure with the 6 screws and reconnect all the wires. Do not forget the jumper on the stop connections. CHECK VOLTAGE ON SWITCH MATCHES REQUIREMENT. 1.

Pinch Maybe #= 2, Change? Y/N
S-Up Pinch Dif= 2, Change? Y/N Pinch Fail Dif = 20, Change?
-SKIP THIS SCREEN- S-Up Pinch Dif is the amount of vacuum needed at startup before pulsing needed to know the tube is not blocked. The factory setting on this can generally be used. The system determines if the tube is truly blocked by looking for a drop in vacuum after it pulses the solenoid valve. The Pinch Fail is the drop in vacuum, 20 = 1 Hg. Unless the system does not stop after the Pinched tube maybe occurs this should not be changed. If the system shuts down as soon as the line is pinched this value should be reset to at least 20. The Pinch Vacuum Tube Test MUST be turned on to allow this function to operate. The STRATUM is shipped with this function OFF to allow for the Installation and set-up of the system.
Pinch Vacuum Tube Test ON?
Inspect the vacuum tube for cracks or damage after the Pinch Tube set-up is complete.
Turn Dip Switch 8 OFF after setting and testing the Pinched tube.
If the Pinch Tube test is operating correctly, the STRATUM will pulse the solenoid introducing a small amount of air into the system, to clear the vacuum tube. The STRATUM will shut off the pump and sound the buzzer if the vacuum tube is held closed after the pulse. The STRATUM has a running record of its interaction with the system. This record, or log can be displayed from the most recent to the oldest event in sequence. The codes for these events are explained in the following pages. A Y when this screen is displayed will allow viewing of the history of the system. This particular event is a power on event. A YES press of the button will go on to display the second half of the event record screen. And more past records in sequence. A NO press of the button will exit.

Start up- detected pinched vacuum hose. bit ADC count parm (or case 1 indication) Case 1 - parm set to 99, the expected high vacuume value was less than the low vac value. This is a pinched hose indication. Case 2 - parm set to difference between expected high value and low vacuum value. Error occurs when this is <= to the PinchSupVal var, which is set in Custom Inst. Run - Vacuum too low (below 2 in of Hg) 0 = Pinch testing disabled, not 0 = enabled Run - test button pushed Stuck (welded) motor relay detected 1st parameter is 8 bits 0 = detected in power on/start up code 1 = detected in code just before startup pulsing 2 = detected in timer code 3 = detected in vacuum anomoly shutdown code In all of the above cases the pump motor appeared to be running when it shouldn't be running. 2d parm is 16 bits - actual vacuum in ADC units 3d parm is 16 bits - Zero value (Calib var) plus Welded Relay ADC value which is set in DIP Sw 8 code sequence.

The STRATUM has several built in functions that should be considered.
1. There is a function that determines if the pump is running when it is not suppose to be running. When this feature is engaged it will open the solenoid valve (venting the system) and set off the buzzer. Generally this function is a safety backup function. POWER the PUMP and STRATUM off at the circuit breaker and replace the Contactor. 2. If the STRATUM fails to restart after a filter has been cleaned, or equipment replaced, the first stabilized Vacuum should be reset, in Custom Install Procedures. (See Page 14) 3. When the STRATUM is installed on a SPA where the Normal operation is in Low speed on a two speed pump, it is suggested that the STRATUM be set up such that it starts in High Speed to prime, and then always drops down to Low Speed. When the Spa is to be used (Or High Speed Pump operation) closing the contact between the Spare and common terminals on the STRATUM board will bring the pump to high Speed Protected mode for as long as the contact is maintained. Note: This is a nonpowered contact, which is looking for a closed contact to energize the High Speed on the Pump. 4. Hayward recommends that the time of day clock be changed on first start-up. Even if this change is forward a minute and then back. This operation will confirm that the time clock is running and recording correctly. 5. If the Vacuum Release System has shut the pump down due to HIGH VACUUM and does not restart, due to debris in the suction line, the line must be cleared. This is normally done through the use of a garden hose or other method. 6. If the green light is on, and the Red light is on with the Pump not running during a normal operational time cycle, it is suggested that cutting the power to the system and then restoring the power will reset the system. (This will assure the system program is operating.)

External Contact Relay

Glossary (Continued):

MR1: Motor relay 1, Used for High Speed on the Filter Pump MR2: Motor Relay 2, Used for Low Speed on the Filter Pump MR3: Motor Relay 3, Used for Booster/Cleaner Pump Over Window Vacuum: Indicates a vacuum level detected that is above normal for the pool system. The system should restart. SP: Spare switch contact used to run the STRATUM in High Speed when timer function is timed out or pump is in low speed. Stabilizing: The STRATUM has started the priming function and is in the process of finding a fully primed vacuum. Startup-Pulsing: The Solenoid Valve is opened and closed several times to soft start the system at startup to warn swimmers Under Vacuum Window: Indicates a problem with the inlet water flow to the pump. Low volume flow can be caused by line breaks, or low water levels. The system should restart. Unprotected Mode: Is when the pump is operating and the STRATUM is NOT providing any protection against Body Suction Entrapment. Swimmers and Bathers should not be allowed in the pool and spa when the STRATUM is in Unprotected mode Window: A window is a set of limits, which is placed around the operating Vacuum. In the STRATUM this window is 3 Hg.
