Remote Wiring Connections and Setup Pool 24V Hot Part Number 071494 7-Pin Remote Wire Harness Wire Harness Connection A remote may be wired to provide an “On-Off” switching function (two wire) or as a three-way “Pool-Off-Spa” selector switch (three wire). Modern automation systems use a two-wire configuration and can operate the heater in either Pool or Spa mode (See wiring, page 16). Water temp will not exceed the setting on the heater, regardless of the automation set temp. To access the full range of temp settings with the remote, the heater should be set (at the control pad) to the maximum safe temperature.

Unitherm Governor The UNITHERM GOVERNOR helps prevent condensation and scale. It is a thermostatic mixing valve used to control and regulate the water temperature in the heat exchanger. Low temperatures in the exchanger can cause condensation. This indicates that the heat exchanger is running cool. This may be caused by too much flow. Make sure the pump is not supplying more than 125GPM (100GPM max flow for ASME models). Adjust flow accordingly. Also check the U.G. to make sure it is working properly and not damaged from chemical corrosion or stuck.

Internal Bypass Valve The Automatic Bypass Assembly allows the heater to be connected to a wide variety of pumps. With every job site having different flow rates, the Bypass automatically adjusts to provide the proper flow rate to the heater, up to 125GPM max (100GPM for ASME models). If the flow rate exceeds 125GPM condensation may form and erosion of the copper tubes may occur. It is then recommended that an external bypass be installed before the heater.

All piping must be of suitable metal construction by applicable code. Larger PRVs may require additional additional plumbing components for fit. Smaller PRV’s can be mounted directly into the header.
