Power Defender 165/225/270 Variable Speed Pumps can be connected to the Waterway
OASIS Pool Controller via quick and direct communication through a RS-485 cord. This
provides full control with respect to schedule and speed of the variable speed pump (see page
13 of the OASIS manual). Or it can be connected to other brands of pool controller such as
Jandy, Pentair, and more... utilizing auxilary relays to operate up to 4 different speeds as shown
below. For further information, see page 24 of the Waterway Variable Speed Motor Manual.

System Level Control Wiring Diagram
WARNING
Access to these terminals is in close proximity to the main connectors which carry line
voltage capable of causing personal injury or damaging the equipment if contact is made.
Power should be turned off when accessing this area.

Typical Connection using 3 relays to control INP #2, INP #3, and INP #4
NOTE: +12v is jumped to each relay

INP #1 1350 RPM
INP #2 1725 RPM
INP #3 2760 RPM
INP #4 3450 RPM
NOTE: A generic wiring diagram is provided in Figure 1 for connecting the Power Defender
165/225/270 to a “System Level Controller”. The concept can be applied to a solar system or
another type of control system.
NOTE: There is no schedule for digital inputs. The timing for each speed is controlled
directly by the digital inputs.
NOTE: The digital inputs have the highest priority among all the inputs (i.e. keypad, serial or digital.)
Therefore the serial commands as well as the User Interface inputs will be ignored when a
digital input is present.
NOTE: If more than one digital input (switch) is present the Power Defender 165/225/270 will give
priority to the highest number digital input. Therefore INP# 4 has the highest priority followed
by INP# 3, then INP# 2, then INP# 1.
NOTE: If no digital input is detected, the Power Defender 165/225/270 will automatically start the
schedule if the START key was pressed prior to the application of a digital input.
NOTE: The controller is rated to accept digital input from the onboard +12V terminal.
In order to use Digital Inputs:
1.
Connect the +12V from the pump to the desired input through a relay on a controller.
2. When the relay is closed and 12V is provided to an input connection, the pump
will run that corresponding speed.
