USE THE PROVIDED WATERPROOF WIRE NUTS WHEN CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY.
A time clock controlling the filter pump should have a low-voltage Fireman's Switch that switches off the heater at
least 15 minutes before shutting off the pump.
1. - Remove the factory installed jumper from the Fireman's Switch terminals.
- Connect wires between the Fireman's Switch terminals on the heater and the relay. Connect wires from the
controller or timer to the Fireman's Switch. Controller, timer or relay should be sized to handle 24VAC at 0.5
Amp (because it will be completing the 24VAC control board circuit on the heater as shown in Figure 31 (page
23). DO NOT apply line voltage to the Fireman's Switch terminals. Use 18 gauge wire with a minimum 1.2
mm (3/64 in.) thick insulation rated for a temperature rise of at least 105° C.
- Knock-outs are provided to route the wires through the bottom of the control box and past the junction box.
2. To connect a 3-Wire Control:
- Connect wires between the control board terminals on the heater and the
external relays, as shown in Figure 31, on page 23. Use at least 2 relays per
heater, to allow for an "OFF setting" on each heater mode. Select relays
that can handle logic level switching. DO NOT apply line voltage to control
board terminals.
- Move jumper (as show in Figure 25) to enable external control and to disable
the heater membrane pad's "Pool POOL/SPA buttons (the HEATER (ON/
OFF button control panel remains functional).
