Possible Causes

Incorrect wiring to automation relay or RS-485, Wrong pump address or protocol, Disabled external control mode, Faulty automation controller output

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power to both pump and automation before working on control wiring.

Steps to integrate:

  • Verify wiring: Confirm that control wires are connected to the correct terminals on the Jacuzzi pump and automation panel.
  • Check mode: Set the pump to REMOTE or EXTERNAL control mode per the Jacuzzi manual.
  • Set address/protocol: Configure the pump address and protocol to match the automation system requirements.
  • Test with simple command: Use the automation panel to send a basic ON/OFF or speed command and observe response.

If manual control works but automation does not after proper setup, the issue may be in the automation controller or the pump's communication interface.
