Chemical Feed Pump Location; Heater Installation - Pentair AK110 Installation And User Manual

Table of Contents

If unit has not been previously installed, follow the instructions included with the chemical feed pump . Some loads

include power cords already connected to the load and are ready to plug in . If "pigtails" have been ordered with the

Controller simply plug the power cord into the appropriate "pigtail" . If "pigtails" are not installed the power cord from

the pump will need to be modified . The list below provides installation recommendations:

1 .

Mount at least 10 feet from open water .

2 .

Install the pump below the level of the Controller and away from any other equipment or systems .

This is to reduce any damage to other equipment should the pump leak .

3 .

Install close enough to the Controller for the feed pump power cords to reach .

4 .

If "pigtails" are included simply plug in the pumps to the appropriate "pigtail" . If pigtails are not installed,

cut the electric plugs from the feed pumps and strip and ferrule the ends .

5 .

Route the power cords to the Controller through the lower fittings and attach to the appropriate relay

terminals on the relay circuit board . If the wire ends were striped and not ferruled make sure that no frays

of wire are out of the connector as this may lead to a short .

6. Conduit or external plugs can also be used (according to the codes in the local area).

7 .

When installing metal conduit into the Controller, a ground LUG should be used to connect the conduit to

the relay board ground .

The Controller third relay can control a heater, turning it on and off based on the temperature settings you have

programmed in to the Controller . The heater control portion of the Controller can be used to maintain a constant

temperature or maintain a temperature during operating hours . Even though the Controller is a very accurate and

reliable device, for safety, always use the over-temp device on your heater to prevent overheating .
