The EcoVFC is not compatible with competitive makes of variable speed models. The EcoVFC is compatible with the IST-VFC for communication in Master / Slave configurations only if the EcoVFC has software revision 1.18 or higher.

  • Page 14 To avoid the risk of potentially lethal Warning electrical shock, explosion or fire, 20. Verify rotary switch on EcoVFC is set to always tag and lock circuit breakers position 4. This will provide approximately 2.2 bar in the off position before removing the (32 psi) output from the IST or STP units with VS2 cover of the EcoVFC.
  • Page 15 The EcoVFC is equipped with a display that indicates several operating parameters of the EcoVFC as well as indicates an error code when a fault is detected. When the EcoVFC is in an error condition, the alarm code will be displayed. The alarm code definitions and proposed troubleshooting methods are in the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
  • Page 16 The following tables show the alarm codes, as well as provide suggested troubleshooting steps. The EcoVFC is also equipped with a Reset Button to clear faults and a Silence Audible Alarm Button that turns off the audible alarm when depressed. Depressing the silence audible alarm button does not clear the fault; it only silences the alarm.
  • Page 17 Note: In rare installations where motor wiring runs are extremely long and / or of a small wire diameter, a false LU (locked up) may be displayed on the EcoVFC. See the table of recommended maximum wire length to wire gauge for submersible wiring in the beginning of this manual.
  • Page 18 Note: In rare installations where motor wiring runs are extremely long and/or of a small wire diameter, a false OC (open circuit) may be displayed on the EcoVFC. See the table of recommended maximum wire length to wire gauge for submersible wiring in the beginning of this manual.

  • Page 20 Note: In rare installations, a partial short can result from a nick in one of the pump power wires coupled with water in the electrical conduit from the EcoVFC to the pump. This condition is not a direct short, so the EcoVFC does not flash short circuit (SC).

  • Page 25 Note: IST-VFC operates with 200-250V, 50-60 Hz, single phase power supply. EcoVFC requires 360-440V, 50-60 Hz, three phase incoming power supply. If three phase power supply is not available, EcoVFC must be replaced with MagVFC. MagVFC operates with 200-250V, 50-60 Hz, single or three phase power supply.
