Installation–Interface removal/positioning The interface assembly on the EcoStar can be configured in four different positions. Remove the two screws as shown (fig 7). Remove the interface assembly as shown (fig 8). Reposition interface assembly as shown (fig 7, 9, 10 & 11) re-secure with the two screws (fig 7).

Installation–Interface /Wall mount Wall mount kit is included with the EcoStar and includes blank cover, mounting bracket and new terminal block for connecting to the interface assembly. Maximum 500’ for data cable used for wall mount or control connection. After removal of the interface assembly remove the plug connecting the drive to the interface (Page 7) (fig 12)
Page 10
Installation–Interface /Wall Mount The data cable needs to be routed through the second conduit opening (low voltage) (fig 15). Remove the wall mounting data plug from the electrical compartment as shown (fig 16). You will need to procure a six wire data cable, as short as possible, and attach the wires to the data plug as shown taking care to note the color and corresponding number next to the data plug (fig 17)
Page 11
Installation–Interface/Wall Mount Secure the wall mounting bracket and route the six wire data cable through the channel on the bottom of the bracket (fig 18). Attach the six wires to the new data plug as shown, taking care to note the color and corresponding number on the data plug as you did with the data plug on the pump Install the plug into the (fig 20).

Note: When connecting high voltage for an EcoStar that is data connected to a Hayward/Goldline control, voltage needs to come directly from a breaker in the control, or in the case of an OnCommand, directly from the main or sub-panel and not from the filter pump relay.
Page 13
Installation–Relay Connected Controls (Non Hayward/Goldline compatible software & third party controls) needs to be brought into the “line in” contacts on the Filter Pump Relay from a Pump power (230 VAC) breaker in the control box. The “Load Out” side will feed the incoming high voltage for the pump (fig 24) Cable used for data connections should be rated for maximum voltage in motor compartment.

Installation–Relay Connected Controls (Non Hayward/Goldline compatible software & third party controls) 1, 3 and 5 from the pump terminal needs to be wired to the Load side of The other of the 24 VAC connection on each control relays as shown (fig 25).
Installation–Relay Connected Controls (Non Hayward/Goldline compatible software & third party controls) Filter pump relay plus 3 aux relays allows control of eight speeds By using a sequence of Filter Pump Relay off and on, timer speeds Timer 1 Speed can be controlled.

Installation–Remote Stop Switch Remote stop switch One side of the 24 VAC on the pump terminal purchased separately needs to be wired to on the pump terminal as shown (fig 29). Terminal on the pump terminal and the other leg of the 24 VAC on the pump terminal need to be wired to the emergency switch (fig 29).

Programming Scenarios Below is one possible Stand Alone scenario. Timer 8: Pump comes on at 6 am and goes off at 5:45 am Set to run the entire timing sequence at the low speed setting. The lower the timer number the higher the priority. In other words, timer 1 will override timer 8 settings if they are set over each other.
