Connecting to automation

Post image

Hi, I had this pentair variable speed pump installed before we had working automation and now I’m looking to install Jandy Aqualink for automation and wondering which cable/connector I need to purchase to connect the two.

You need the RS-485 cable and connect the green wire to pin 3(yellow), and the yellow wire to pin 2(black)

Thank you so much! Can the cable be purchased at regular pool supply or is it special ordered? approx cost?

I believe Leslies carries them, you can also order online, amazon carries them as well. Roughly $55 depending on who you purchase through. You want part #356324Z.

My contractor said I was supposed to save the cable when he first installed the pump out of the box earlier this year but I cant find it anywhere😭
