COLOR SYNC™ CONTROLLER AND OUTLET BOX INSTALLATION
Outlet Box Location
Before installing the Color Sync Controller, read the following guidelines
carefully:
Before permanent installation, test the 2.4 GHz WiFi signal strength at
1.
the location where the controller will be mounted (refer to "Testing WiFi
Signal Strength" in the Color Sync Pentair Home App User's Guide).
The controller operates on 2.4 GHz. Note: Be sure the home network
router supports 2.4 GHz. Dual Band routers are supported.
2. If possible, minimize the number and volume of obstacles that may block
the wireless signal to the enclosure.
3. Before choosing the final location for the controller, consider the length of
all AC power wires that will need to be connected to the unit.
4. Mount the unit on a flat vertical surface with unobstructed access to the
front of the unit. The unit can be mounted inside your house, outside or
inside of a pool equipment shed or other enclosures.
5. All electrical equipment, except for UL Listed spa-side remote switches,
must be installed no fewer than 5 ft. (1.5 m). For Canada, 3 m (9.75 ft.)
from the pool and/or spa. Comply with all national state, and local code
6. CAUTION: Install the controller in a location to allow enough space at the
equipment pad to stand clear of the filter and pump during system
start-up.
