Got some new toys in the mail today!!! 2x Vortech MP40w Es and a Battery Backup to go along with them. Im gonna get another Battery Backup next pay period to extend the life of the pumps. Got them installed, but the "master" "slave" programming is confusing as hell. Thai...Help me figure it out.

[myjohnson]

Lol, nice pick up!

Which part do you need help with setting up?

[newb]

programming the modes. It tells me to clear their memory, but I dont get the instructions.

programming the modes. It tells me to clear their memory, but I dont get the instructions.

I have one MP40w ES and one MP40w. I used the ES has the master and the w as the slave.

You basically need to do three things:

1) Reset the pump’s memory back to independent mode
2) Set the pump as a master
3) Set the pump as a slave

Clear Driver Memory - The internal memory of each unit must be cleared before setting up a group. Hold Mode and Set together until the control dial blinks red/white/blue. Then hold mode until the dial blinks red/purple. Then hold Set until the pump resets.

Enter Setup Mode - All pumps in a group must then be set into configuration mode before the assignment of slave or master status. This configuration must be performed with the drivers in close proximity to ensure proper assignment. Hold Mode and Set together until the drivers blink red/white/blue.

Assign the Master - Set the master pump by pressing the mode button. The control dial will then blink blue and green. You are now ready to assign slave pumps.

Assign the Slaves - Set the slave pump by pressing the set button on the driver. The control dial will then blink blue and yellow. NOTE: If the slave blinks blue and red, it was too far away from the master driver and could not communicate properly. Repeat this step for all slaves you want to assign the the master.

Reset the Master - Hold the mode button on the master pump after completing ALL the master/slave assignments. The pump will reset and begin operation in the previous mode you had programmed. You can then change modes with the master pump like normal and the slave pumps will operate according to what the master pump defines. Slave pump speeds can be defined by the master.
