Are you trying to use your current topside control, or are you replacing that as well? The VS501Z should fit the bill. You will lose one of the blower "speeds". The air blower isn't a two speed, it's the voltage the controller is sending, and the VS series are simply on/off on the air blower circuit.

ChaiSTi Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Be carefull with the blower. It is rated for 120V only where as your pump is probably 240V. Make sure you set up the correct voltage for each component. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkm Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 i have the orignal pack and top side it was made by maddox (no longer available ?) If i replace both topside and pack will blower run on high speed with the heater or lower speed with the heater or one or the other speed with no blower heater? just went out and now the top side control is working, but normally i have to power off at disconnect and wait an hour or 2 before powering back up to get it to come back on. dont really need the the blower on high speed but would like to have it on the slower speed with the blower heater.The filter cycle always works and the pump will always come on when i change the temp dial and the tub always maintains the temp I set it at.

tkm Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 also the blower has 5 wires on the plug at the pack black white red orange and green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiSTi Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 The white wire is neutral and the green one is ground. The black, red, and orange are all hot wires. Turn the blower onto the stage that you like and determine which hot wires are getting voltage. The voltage to these three hot wires should change based on the stage that you activate. Place one probe on the white wire and use the other probe to test all three hot wires. If you end up needing a new control system, you'll know which wires to connect.
