7 Priming the pump for the first time or after service Before the IntelliFlo 4 pump is started for the first time it must be primed. To prime a pump means filling the pump and suction pipe with water. This process evacuates the air from all the suction lines and the pump. It may take several minutes to prime depending on the depth of water, pipe size and length. It is easier to prime a pump if you allow all the air to escape from the pump and pipes. The water cannot enter unless the air can esca

9 External Control with IntelliComm Communication Center The IntelliFlo 4 can be remotely controlled by the Pentair IntelliComm Communication Center using an optional communications cable (P/N 350122). The IntelliComm provides four pairs of input terminal connections. These inputs are actuated by either 15 - 240 VAC or 15 - 100 VDC. Using the device's inputs, the programmed IntelliFlo 4 pump speeds can be controlled. If more than one input is active the highest number will be communicated to

10 Connecting IntelliFlo 4 to an EasyTouch System The IntelliFlo 4 can be controlled by an IntelliTouch system via the RS-485 communication cable (PN 350122). In this configuration, IntelliTouch starts, stops and controls the speed of the IntelliFlo pump. When the IntelliTouch does this, it rewrites the IntelliFlo 4 memory, which can take several seconds. This causes a delay from when a command is given on the IntelliTouch control panel until the Intelliflo 4 physically responds. The IntelliFl
