I am in the process of installing a new digital controller on my old Mr. Spa. I've hit a wall in trying to decypher the wiring instructions on my main pump. It's a 110 volt, 2 speed Magnetek type SP. I'd never looked into the motor wiring, assuming it would have the expected connections for high, low, neutral, and ground, and that I would simply plug in the supplied power cord for the new controller and that would be it. Not so lucky. I've attached a scan of the wiring diagram from the motor for reference. So now I have three questions:
1. If this motor can be configured to accept the high and low outputs of the new controller, where do I put the red (low) wire, and what other jumper changes do I make? On this motor is is obvious that black (line) and white (neutral) will always go to 1 and 6 respectively.
2. If the motor cannot be configured to accept the red (low) output of the new controller it's not a problem to run with high speed only. (I have a circulator pump to service the heater and filter) If that's the case, I assume the left side jumper settings (w/o air switch) would be the configuration.
3. If possible, I'd like to understand how this motor was capable of two speeds with the old analog controller.
Thanks very much
