The Four Function Spa Side Remote is a double insulated, submersible device which is ETL listed (to UL
Standard 1563) for installation at the waters edge. It is typically installed at the tile-line of the spa wall, or in
the deck within arms reach of the spa. It can be used with a gunite spa, acrylic spa, or hot-tub.
When installing the Four Function Remote, it is important to make provisions for this hard-wired remote
before the pool/spa construction is complete by running electrical conduit from the desired remote
location to the future Power Center location. Do not install the Four Function Remote until construction of spa
and deck is complete.
1. Install a 6" piece of 1½” or 1" schedule 40 PVC pipe in the pool/spa wall so that the Four Function Remote
will not be constantly submerged. A 1½” to 1" adapter is included for use if 1½” PVC pipe is being used. This
pipe will house the remote installed vertically in the wall of the pool or spa. Carefully trim the end of the pipe
flush with the wall after all tile work is completed. There must be least 2" of clearance from coping stones or
other raised objects to the schedule 40 pipe.
2. Install a ½” or ¾” reducer to the bottom of the 6" piece of pipe and run a ½” or ¾” electrical conduit
underground from the reducer to the future AquaLink

RS Power Center location see page 10 of AquaLink

RS
Installation Manual for further details on Power Center). Use sweep elbows (do not use 90° elbows) for turns
so that you can easily pull the remote cable later.
3. Use a snake (or similar tool) to pull the Four Function Remote cable through the conduit to the Power
Center.
4. At the Power Center, feed the remote cable into the low voltage compartment (left-hand side). Strip the
cable jacket 4" and strip each wire ¼”. Use the P.C. Board Wiring Diagram on the inside of the Power Center
door to locate the Four Function Remote terminals. Wire the remote according to the diagram.
5. At the Remote mounting location, press (do not screw) the Four Function Remote into the PVC pipe.
NOTE: Do not alter the Four Function Remote housing. Cutting the housing may damage its seal and will void
the warranty.
When replacing an old, threaded body style remote with a new four function remote, place 1/8" bead of
silicone sealant around base of remote and let cure. Add extra silicone sealant and install remote into
threaded adapter.
NOTE: Do not install Four
Function Remote until
construction of spa and
deck is complete.
