Dear Sir/Madam, I have a V-Green 165 motor that has freeze protection that comes on at 39 deg. I would like to adjust this setting to better fit our environment. Can this V-Green User Interface be used for this purpose. My user manual says it should work. Please confirm. Moreover, are there other options for adjusting the freeze temperature setting? Thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely, Hogni

Hi Hogni, The V-Green 270 User Interface (2520652-001) will allow you to configure freeze protection temperature. The User Interface does includes the instructions to configure the additional features it provides.

I have a century V green 165 pump. I want to add a clock function. I understand that I need to add a V 270 interface. How difficult is it to hook up the V green 270? What is involved to adding this unit?

Hi Joe, You will need this interface. It's considered a DIY item so it's not hard to install, it will come with installation instruction.

I have a Pentair SuperFlo 342000 -- which appears to be just a rebranded VGreen 165. Is there any reason to believe that this 270 User Interface would not work on that pump?

Yes, so that interface screws onto the ECM16SQU variable speed motor.

if you use this along the Raypak Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.65 THP, will you be able to control a pool heater independently like the 2.78 THP model does? (pump always on programmed to run at higher speed when it activate the heater)

Will this motor fit a Hayward super II dual speed model SP3015X202AZ & will the interface controller vfd work with Hayward pro logic software version 4.04?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/23/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Scott W.

The v-green is the variable speed motor which is what the interface is for. If you are wanting to go to variable speed I recommend ECM27CU and the 2517501-001 which is the automation adapter kit that connects to the aqualogic.

Hello, Concerning the freeze point protection, when set temperature is reached, how long does it run once the set temperature is detected?
 Reply

A  Answered on 12/21/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Joe S.

Freeze Protection can be either enabled or disabled when the user turns the User Interface selector knob to Setup. If it is enabled, the user will be able to set the temperature at which the pump will turn on. The control is designed to run the pump for 8 hours at 2600 RPM if the temperature drops below the setpoint.

The manual states this interface cannot be motor mounted and is designed for remote/ wall mounting contrary to previous answers. Can you confirm this. Also, I was hoping this interface would add ability to control an auxiliary load like the V270 can but manual says no. Can you also confirm this and is this the only interface kit available for the 165?...thanks, Vic.
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/25/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Robert M.

Hello Vic, There is no place to mount the interface on the motor, so it must go on the wall.  The 165 does not have the relay for external load, so the kit will not add this ability.  This is the only interface kit for the 165.

If you did not purchase the item with us, our best suggestion for getting this repaired under warranty would be to call AO Smith. They are the manufacturer of the motor and have to process the warranty regardless. AO Smith can be reached by calling 937-667-2431.

Try doing a power cycle on the unit, turn off at the circuit breaker, wait 5 min and then power back on. These act like a PC's sometimes and they need a reboot to turn the screen back on. I have had many customers with this issue! good luck!

    Adding to her question how does this v green 165 know what time it is does it have a clock in it to set thanks
     Reply

    • Commented on 11/6/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Megan C.

      The VS motors must operate longer at set RPM Schedules, the lower the RPM the lower the cost to operate which means the water moves/circulates at a slower speed too. When the water is circulating at lower gallons per minute (GPM) the longer it will take to turn the total gallons over for a full filter cycle. If the motor/pump is a 3450RPM Single speed pump with a 10K gallons pool, you will need the pump to turn over 1,250 gallons in 8 hours to circulate/turn over 10K gallons. If you chose to operate at 1/2 the RPMs set to 1725 it will take 16 hours to turn over the 10K pool in this example.

        The V-Green 165 ECM16CU and ECM16SQU motors do not have an integrated timer like the ECM27CU and ECM27SQU offer. The standard single-speed time clock for 208-230 volts can be used for the V-165 motors to wire to for the on/off feature. I prefer to have an external timer with the V-Green 165 motors, even though it is not required. It will allow for you to power on/off when preferred and if in cleaning/service mode it will allow the motor to start at the speed it stopped at vs. returning to the beginning program.
