REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

CAUTION: Before installing remote controls to the heaters, read the following:
The digital thermostat model is remote-ready in most cases. The digital liquid crystal display (LCD) shows the
actual pool temperature, operating status, and service codes (See examples below). The touch pad on the con-
trol panel allows you to select the desired pool or spa temperature. It also indicates when a remote system is
controlling the heater by displaying Remote in the display. When connecting the heater to a remote system,
identify whether it is a two- or three-wire remote system. Select the appropriate instruction listed below to prop-
erly install the remote to the heater.

REMOTE OPERATION

The heaters are equipped with the ability to work with
external remote controls. The supplied 7-pin remote
wiring connector supplies power out to either a toggle
switch or the switch contacts of a third party remote.
The remote works by either making or breaking the cir-
cuit created by the remote wiring. Typically, a remote
does not supply power to the heater, it only provides a
switching function to turn the heater On or Off. If your
remote is supplying its own voltage to the heater,
it will not work with this heater and may damage
the digital circuit board.
For operation of the heater using the onboard thermo-
static controls with a time clock, see the "Time Clock /
Fireman's Switch" section.

Note: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage can be caused by
direct or indirect contact with the wiring or circuit board. When
one walks to the heater area, an electrostatic charge accumu-
lates on the body. Contact of a finger allows the body to dis-
charge, possibly causing device damage. This damage can be
limited if the service person discharges himself, following ESD
preventive/removal practices, and holds on to the heater enclo-
sure for 5 seconds before proceeding.
Heating in the SPA Mode
