1. INSTALLATION OF THE DAVEY VARIABLE SPEED PUMP

The SilensorPRO should be located as close to the water as practicable and mounted on a firm base in a

well drained position, high enough to prevent any flooding. It is the installer/owner’s responsibility to locate

the pump such that the nameplate can be easily read and the SilensorPRO can be readily accessed for

service. It is recommended that the SilensorPRO is protected from the weather. Enclosures should be

ventilated to prevent condensation build-up.

Failure to follow these instructions and comply with all applicable codes may cause

serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

This pump requires professional expertise for installation and maintenance. The

installation of this product should be carried out by a person knowledgeable in

swimming pool plumbing requirements and who follows the installation instructions

provided in this manual.

Power connection

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your SilensorPRO is double insulated to water circuit.

If equipotential bonding structure is required, then an Equipotential Bonding Point

is provided. (Please refer to your local statutes and/or regulations for AS/NZ 3000

equivalent wiring standards).

CAUTION! In the interest of safety, we advise that all brands and types of pool pumps

must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000, known as the national wiring

rules, or equivalent local standards. All electrical installations must be carried out by

a qualied electrician. Davey recommends that all installations are tted with earth

leakage, or residual current protection devices. Rated residual operating current not

exceeding 30mA.

WARNING! Ensure that an electrical isolation switch is located with easy access so that

the pump can be switched off in an emergency.

The SilensorPRO is suitable for connection to a nominal 220 – 240 volt 50/60Hz power supply and is

equipped with a flex cord. If a power outlet is not available within 3 metres of the pump, a 3-pin power point

in a safe, dry place may need to be provided by an electrician. Extension cords are unsafe around pools and

should be avoided. If the supply cord of the SilensorPRO is damaged it must be replaced by Davey, or an

approved agent with genuine Davey spares.

The SilensorPRO incorporates motor overload detection designed to protect the motor from overheating.

If the motor gets too hot during operation, its operating speed will reduce to bring it within an acceptable

operating temperature and then will speed up to the originally set speed.

To reset the motor, switch the power off for 30 seconds, and then return the power from the mains switch.

Pipe connection

Barrel unions are provided for connecting to the piping from the pool. The pumps are designed to accept

50/63mm PVC fittings.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION If the SilensorPRO and lter are located below pool water

level, it is necessary to t isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and skimmer

box and in return pipe from the lter to the pool. When plumbing the discharge pipe,

ensure that the pipework does not interfere with the pumps speed dial. Barrel unions

need to be hand tightened. No sealant, glues or silicones are required.

The ttings on the SilensorPRO are constructed of ABS. Some PVC jointing compounds

are incompatible with ABS. Check compound suitability before use.

The use of any pipe smaller than those specified above is not recommended. Suction piping should be free

from all air leaks and any humps and hollows which cause suction difficulties. To achieve best efficiency, the

SilensorPRO should be installed such that turbulent water is limited as much as possible. As shown in figure

1.1, do not install a 90° elbow closer that 250mm from the inlet barrel union. Isolation valves used where

equipment is located below pool water level, should also be installed no closer than 250mm from inlet barrel

union. This will assist laminar flow.

The discharge piping from the SilensorPRO outlet should be connected to the inlet connection on the

swimming pool filter (usually at the filter control valve). As shown in figure 1.2, ensure adequate clearance

above the pump to not interfere with the SilensorPRO speed dial. Use a check valve in the discharge line

when using this pump for any application where there is significant height to the plumbing after the pump.

Be sure to install check valves when plumbing with another pump. This helps prevent reverse rotation of the

impeller and motor.

WARNING! Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown, or disembowel bathers.

Do not block suction. Do not operate swimming pools, spas, or spa baths if a suction

cover is broken, missing or loose. Two suction covers, or inlets must be provided into

every pump to avoid suction entrapment.

4. OWNERS MANUAL

This SilensorPRO is Bluetooth enabled, so you will be able to set and control the pump functions from your

smart device. Bluetooth is a wireless communication protocol that enables communication between devices.

This function is supported by any device that can download an app from IOS or Android App Store.

Read these instructions in their entirety before switching on this pump. If you are uncertain as to any of these

installation and operating instructions, please contact Davey as listed on the back of this document.

Every SilensorPRO is thoroughly water tested against a number of flow, pressure, voltage, current and

mechanical performance parameters. Davey’s advanced pump manufacturing technology provides reliable

and efficient pumping performance that lasts and lasts.

Saving energy with your SilensorPRO

The Davey variable speed pump is a super-efficient pump utilising a very clever, state of the art infinitely

variable AC motor that provides lower levels of noise, lower operating costs and lower greenhouse emissions

than traditional pool pumps.

Due to its ability to run at lower speeds than conventional pumps, your pump will also experience less

mechanical wear and tear due to less stress on the internal mechanical components. To achieve energy

efficient pumping is easy. Simply run the filtration pump at a lower speed but run it for longer than a

conventional fixed speed pump to “turn over” your pool water for adequate filtration and sanitisation. The

result is lower energy use and up to 70% lower operational costs.

The SilensorPRO has adjustable speed settings, so you can vary the speed you circulate your pool or spa

water at. Speeds can be adjusted to power a suction pool cleaner, in-floor cleaning system & pool heaters. A

backwash setting on the pump can be selected to backwash a media filter.

What to expect with the SilensorPRO (energy efficient operation) on your pool:

• If your SilensorPRO pump is replacing a traditional AC motor pump, you may will need to run it longer than

your old fixed speed pump. This is NORMAL and you will save energy when using lower speed settings.

• You may also notice that the pressure gauge on your filter is indicating a much lower pressure than you are

used to. This is also NORMAL. The lower system pressure is simply a result of the lower speed and flow

rate produced by the pump.

• While running at the lower speed settings you will also notice a significant reduction in pump noise. This is

a major benefit for you as it allows you to run your SilensorPRO during off peak electricity tariffs, which will

also assist in the reduction of your operating costs. Plus, you will also have much happier neighbours.

Many pool products rely on minimum flow rates for best operation and/or efficiency. If you are using low flow

settings on the SilensorPRO (e.g. speed 1 to 4) Davey recommends that you check the compatibility of the

speed or minimum flow rate required to run specific pool equipment such as:

• Suction pool cleaners;

• Ozone generators;

• Heating systems;

• Salt water chlorinator cells;

• In-floor pool cleaning systems.

Pre-start up checklist

• Speed setting chosen is a compatible setting with other pool equipment;

• The pump is installed in a safe and dry environment;

• The pump enclosure has adequate drainage in the event of leakage;

• Any transport plugs are removed;

• The pipe-work is correctly sealed and supported;

• The pump is primed correctly;

• The power supply is correctly connected;

• All steps have been taken for safe operation;

• The filter has been plumbed with 50/63mm pipe;

• The (app) schedule settings correspond with any other times in the system.

English

Low energy operation

Your SilensorPRO SP200BT has speed settings from 1,500 - 3,600rpm. The SilensorPRO SP400BT has

speed settings from 1,050 - 3,100rpm. Speed 1 being the slowest and speed 10 being the fastest.

• Speed 1 provides the lowest speed and therefore the greatest energy efficiency and savings.

• Replace the lid and ensure that it seals on the large rubber o-ring. Firm hand tightness only is required.

The o-ring & thread can be lubricated with Hydra Slip or equivalent products.

Failure to undertake regular maintenance may cause damage not covered by warranty.

Routine maintenance

To maximise the life of the SilensorPRO, and for personal safety use this checklist once a week. Ensure

pump is off before starting:

• Make sure that any pressure gauges are in working condition and the operating pressure is within limits as

specified on the product;

• Make sure that each suction inlet and main drain has a cover that is securely attached and in safe working

condition;

• Make sure that all skimmer covers are securely attached and in safe working condition. These should be

replaced every 3 to 4 years;

• Remove any obstructions or debris from the main drain cover;

• Ensure the skimmer and pump baskets are free of leaves and debris at least once a week;

• Remove obstructions and combustibles from around the pump motor;

• Make sure all wiring connections are clean and that all wiring and electrical equipment is in good condition.

5. FEATURES & FUNCTIONALITY

The SilensorPRO has several operational features. The following explain each of these.

Multi-coloured LED indicator light

Used for identifying required settings for programming time for full speed (Boost) cycling and warnings:

• Solid green = Normal dial operation

• Slow flashing green = In backwash mode

• Fast Flashing green = AUX external control

• Solid White = Time to Backwash

• Fast Flashing White = Fault detected - reset pump

• Slow Flashing blue = Operated by Bluetooth

• Solid blue = Bluetooth mode

Backwash speed cycling technology

When in backwash mode the SilensorPRO will cycle between a low and high speed to help agitate the filter

media for a more effective clean. This reduces wasted water and chemicals during the backwash cycling

process.

Full variable frequency drive with user friendly selectable speed dial

• Provides for easy selection of desired filtration speed

• No complicated digital push button controls

Large 4.5 litre lint pot

• Provides for longer intervals between cleaning

Patented water-cooled design for smooth and super quiet operation

The SilensorPRO has a water-cooled membrane and jacket around the motor which helps to keep the pump

cool during operation. Waste heat off the motor is transferred into the pool water, helping to reduce pool

heating energy costs.

SP400BT constant flow/speed compensation

As the pool filter becomes dirty, pressure builds up. With a typical pool pump, this would naturally slow the

flow coming through the system. The SilensorPRO has the intelligence to automatically detect the resistance

applied by a filter and slowly compensate the reduction flow, by increasing the speed of the motor. The result

is the flow remains constant between filter cleans.

When the SilensorPRO detects that the speed increase indicates time to backwash your filter, the LED

indicator will show a solid white display (see item above).

SP400BT weatherproof RJ45 communication port

(see section 7 for connection details)

• For communication and connecting to external pool control systems

• For receiving a signal from a heat pump, or gas heater to ramp the SilensorPRO speed to full during the

heating process

• Service diagnostics and software updates (For Davey use only)

Check that the cable you use has the above colour coding pins 1 through to 8. If an alternative colour coding

has been used make sure to record the colour which corresponds to each pin to avoid misconnection at

the pool controller or heater. If an alternative cable is used make sure the analogue input and ground are a

twisted pair.

The 24V connection is only to be used as a reference for the digital inputs – DO NOT power external

equipment from this supply rail.

Digital control inputs

The 3 digital inputs allow for overriding the dial speed setting. To set one of these inputs either:

• Connect an isolated 24V supply between DC ground and the digital input pin

• Connect the switched contacts of a relay between the 24V pin and the digital input

The fixed speeds (as a proportion of full speed) are:

Input 1 (Pin 7) Input 2 (Pin 6) Input 3 (Pin 3) Output Speed

0 0 0 Dial

0 0 24V 33%

0 24V 0 50%

Interfacing equipment to the SilensorPRO SP400BT

WARNING! A qualied electrician is required to carry out the work shown below.

The SilensorPRO SP400BT can be controlled by other equipment to turn it on to high speed (or any other

pre-set speeds, see section 8 for details). This is to achieve maximum efficiency, for example, when using a

gas heater, or a heat pump. If the equipment has an isolated 18- 24V DC signal output, simply connect pin 7

to 24V DC positive and pin 5 to DC ground as shown in the following diagram:

If the controlling equipment does not have 18-24V DC voltage output as above, but has 24V AC, 230V AC,

12V AC, or 12V DC etc. signal output, a suitable relay (the coil voltage must be the same as the signal output

voltage of the controlling equipment) can be used to do this job as mentioned above, and shown in the

following diagram:

If the controlling equipment already has the relay output (dry contact) for controlling purpose, an extra relay

is not necessary, simply connect Pin 7 (Brown/White) and Pin 8 (Brown) to the dry contacts as shown in the

left part of the diagram above.

Analogue control inputs

Speed control can also be achieved by connecting a 0-10V DC signal at the input on pin 4 (ground at pin 5).

As soon as a signal above 0V is registered, this input will take priority over dial settings. For example, 10V

DC will change pump speed pump to 100%, 5V DC will change pump speed to 50% etc.

9. USING YOUR SILENSORPRO WITH A SALT WATER CHLORINATOR

Chlorinators require a minimum flow rate through the chlorinator cell for best efficiency and cell life. Please

refer to your chlorinator guide as a reference for the flow required by your pool system. Ensure flow rate is

enough to cover your chlorinator cell plates completely at all times of operation.

10. OPERATING YOUR SUCTION POOL CLEANER

Before installing or purchasing a pool cleaner for use with your SilensorPRO, it is important to know the

minimum flow rates required for it to operate effectively.

To operate a suction pool cleaner:

• Activate the High Flow setting (10) and allow the pump to fully prime by running for around 2 minutes. You

will know the pump is primed when you can see a strong flow of water through the clear leaf basket lid.

• When all air is expelled from the leaf basket, connect the pool cleaner hose firmly into the skimmer plate or

dedicated wall suction.

• Select the speed setting that enables best performance from your suction pool cleaner. Speed 3 to 7 should

be ample for most cleaners, however if the cleaner requires better performance, select speeds 7 to 10.

• The cleaner should only be connected for as long as is required to clean the surface of your pool. When

cleaning is complete, disconnect the cleaner and remove the skimmer plate from the skimmer box.

• Reactivate the most efficient speed setting for daily filtration. Speeds 1 to 4 is recommended.

NOTE: To get optimum energy efciency from your SilensorPRO, DO NOT keep the

suction pool cleaner connected when cleaning is not required.

NOTE: If the SilensorPRO is hard-wired into a time clock, or another automatic control,

the wiring should be removed by a qualied technician.

• Close the water valves on the pool return and the SilensorPRO inlet pipework;

• Remove the discharge & suction barrel unions taking care not to lose the o-rings;

• Move the pipework with the barrel unions attached until the SilensorPRO can be pulled clear.

NOTE: When making any enquiries about your SilensorPRO be certain to quote the

model number from the nameplate located on the motor.

11. TROUBLE SHOOTING

If the pump runs but there is no water flow, or water flow is reduced, the following conditions may apply:

• The filter requires backwashing or it is blocked. Refer to the relevant section in the Filter Manual;

• The pump is not primed. Re-prime as per instruction in ‘Starting the pump’;

• There are air leaks in the suction piping. Check all piping and eliminate leaks, also check for a loose

strainer basket lid. Air bubbles in the water flowing back to the pool would indicate a leak in the suction to

the pump allowing air to enter the pipework.

• A leaking pump shaft seal may also prevent operation. Evidence of this would be water on the ground

under the pump.

• The pump is not able to get water from the pool. Check that the valves to the pump are fully open and

that the pool water level is up to the skimmer box. Typically, half way up the face of the skimmer box is

sufficient;

• Blockage in the piping or pump. Remove the strainer basket and check for any blockage to the pump

impeller entry. Check the skimmer box for blockage.

If the pump does not operate, the following conditions may apply:

• The power is not connected. For 220-240 volt only, check the power point by plugging in a portable

appliance to ensure power is available. Also check fuses and the main power supply switch;

• Automatic overload is tripped. The pump has an in-built thermal overload which will reset automatically

after the motor has cooled following an overheating period. Determine the cause of the overload tripping

and rectify. Reset the pump by switching the power OFF for 30 seconds;

• Blockage is preventing the pump from rotating.

12. REMOVAL OF THE SILENSORPRO FROM PIPEWORK

Should it be necessary to remove the SilensorPRO, follow these instructions:

• Switch off the power and remove the plug from the power source;

• Unscrew the barrel union on the front and top of the pump, releasing the pump from the pipework;

• Slide the pump out of position.

Routine Maintenance tasks - to maximise the life of your pool equipment & personal

safety, use this checklist once a week. Turn pump off rst.

a. Make sure that any pressure gauges are in working condition and the operating

pressure is within limits as specied on the product.

b. Make sure that each suction inlet and main drain has a cover that is securely

attached and in safe working condition.

c. Make sure that all skimmer covers are securely attached and in safe working

condition. These should be replaced every 3 to 4 years.

d. Remove any obstructions or debris from the main drain cover.

e. Ensure the skimmer baskets and the pump hair and lint pots are free of leaves and

debris at least once a week.

f. Remove obstructions and combustibles from around the pump motor.

g. Make sure all wiring connections are clean and that all wiring and electrical

equipment is in good condition. Damaged wiring must be repaired or replaced by a

qualied electrician as soon as damage is discovered.
