Planning The Installation; Installation Steps; Mounting The Control Center - Autopilot Pool Pilot Professional PPP-2 Owners & Installation Manual

8.2 Planning the Installation

Before installing your Pool Pilot
1. Determine everything needed for installation is on hand.
2. Determine where the manifold assembly will be plumbed or surge tank located for convection cells, if
applicable.
3. Identify a suitable mounting location for the Pool Pilot
12 ft. (3.6 m), to ensure that the cell cord and Tri-sensor cord will reach the manifold components (or
control center for convection cell applications) with some slack in the cords. The control center should
be away from excessive heat, moisture and chemical exposure.
4. Plan wire runs and wiring connections for the 220-240V source power.
5. Plan the routing for the cell and Tri-sensor cables.
6. Determine origination point for the Pool Pilot
a. Directly from a circuit breaker. (Circuit breaker is used to power the Pool Pilot
b. From an external timer or an electronic controller. (Pool Pilot
location as the circulation pump; the unit is activated when the circulation pump is energized.)
7. Determine whether the Pool Pilot
system.

8.4 Mounting the Control Center

ATTENTION: As recommended in the Planning the Installation section, make
sure there will be adequate cable length between the control center and the
manifold (or Tri-sensor) before mounting the power supply and plumbing the
manifold assembly. The Tri-sensor and cell cables are 12 ft (3.6 m) long. The
selected location should allow easy access for service and maintenance.
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.
All electrical connections should be made by a licensed electrician or certified electrical contractor.
l
Disconnect all AC power when installing or servicing this system. Follow all state, local, and National
l
Electrical Code(s) (provincial and Canadian Electrical Code(s) if applicable) unless local guidelines
supersede.

Pilot control center must be installed at least 10 ft (3 m) horizontal distance from the pool or spa
wall. Greater distances may be required by local codes.
