Remote Control Installation - Raypak 106 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
CAUTION: Before installing remote controls to the AFT thermostat model 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 AFT model 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 circuit 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.
