Mounting the System Control Center IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING THE SYSTEM CONTROL CENTER The System Control Center is contained in a rainproof enclosure. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor mounting. It should mount on a flat vertical wall and MUST be positioned so that the conduit knockouts are located at the bottom of the enclosure. Also it is important that it is not mounted in a confined space.
The Poolux Control System The System enclosure includes a number of features that are often considered optional like dimmable incandescent lighting. Other features like the fill valve are unique. The integration of the optional chlorine generation capablility rounds out the super-capable Poolux controller from Balboa.

System Control Center Wiring THE SYSTEM CONTROL CENTER IS A PERMANENTLY CONNECTED CONTROL. ROUTING OF THE WIRES The high voltage and low voltage wiring must be run separately, never sharing the same conduit or installed in the same compartment. The high voltage wires must be copper conductors sized for the required equipment current draw.
CIRCUIT BREAKER INSTALLATION CONTROL ELECTRONICS POWER CONNECTION The circuit breaker sub-panel has space for up to 8 single position or 4 double position circuit breakers. The installer is responsible for providing circuit breakers of appropriate ratings. See the table below for a list of the approved breakers that can be used. This information is also located on a label inside the enclosure door.
Connecting High Voltage Components to the System Control Center GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HIGH VOLTAGE EQUIPMENT WIRING 1. Check to see that all equipment motors have built-in thermal protection before installing. 2. Pull appropriately sized wires for each piece of equipment from the equipment to the enclosure. 3. Each piece of equipment requiring high voltage should have its own high voltage relay.
Connecting High Voltage Components to the System Control Center (cont’d) PUMPS UNDERWATER LIGHTS Filter Pump Relay #1 is configured by default for use with a single-speed pump. While this function can be moved to another relay during system configurations, it is rarely practical to do so. The System Control Center has two (2 - 10AMP) onboard triac controlled outputs for underwater lighting as a standard feature. The light outputs can be individually programmed for either on/off or dimmable operation.
Connecting Low Voltage Components to the System Control Center IMPORTANT: Route all low voltage wiring through the cable slot on the bottom left side of the enclosure into the low voltage raceway. Never mix high voltage and low voltage wires/cables in the same conduit or compartment. VALVES VALVE ACTUATORS OPTIONAL FILL VALVE The System Control Center is capable of controlling six (6) 24VAC valve actuators. Run the valve actuator cable into the low voltage raceway.
Connecting Low Voltage Components to the System Control Center (cont’d) After all low voltage wiring has been installed, arrange the wiring so that it is somewhat evenly spaced along the length of the entry slot. Secure the wires by tightening the two screws. FIREMAN’S SWITCH CONNECTION FOR HEATER LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR HEATERS IN3+ This section applies to all heaters or heat pumps that have control circuitry of 24VAC or less.
Temperature Sensors The Pool System uses high quality 30K ohm thermistor type temperature sensors. Two sensors are provided (one for Air and one for Water). If this control is used with a solar heating system, an optional solar sensor must be purchased separately. WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION TO INSTALL THE WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR ATTENTION: The water temperature sensor is 25’ long. Consider the sensor mounting locations BEFORE mounting the System Control Center.
WARNING: DO NOT USE 10K OHM SENSORS OR OTHER MANUFACTURER’S SENSORS WITH THIS CONTROL. INCORRECT TEMPERATURE READINGS WILL RESULT. AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION (IN THE SYTEM ENCLOSURE) 1. If the System Control is not installed in a building and is otherwise not influenced by direct sunlight, the temperature sensor can be mounted to the bottom of the enclosure. 2. In the low-voltage raceway, remove the knockout located next to the low-voltage cable slot, then install the Liquid-Tite connector. 3.
Locating and Installing the Spa-Side Control Panel LOCATION GUIDELINES: The Spa-side Control Panel is hereafter referred to as the “Panel", and should be carefully planned and installed during the initial pool/spa construction. This will allow for important steps to be completed before the concrete or gunite is placed. TO INSTALL SPA-SIDE CONTROL PANEL Planning Is Essential: The specific Panel location needs to be determined ahead of time and planned.
INSTALLATIONS THROUGH A VERTICAL WALL 3. Provide a 1" conduit. 4. Provide a 1" conduit through the concrete/gunite at the location selected for the Panel. The Panel will extend into the inside diameter of the conduit and the cable will be routed through it. Before concrete/gunite is placed, securely fasten the 1" conduit so that it will remain in position during the placement of the concrete/gunite.
Locating and Installing the Spa-Side Control Center (cont’d) 5. Cut the excess 1" conduit flush with the final finished surface. After all finish work has been completed (plaster, tile, coping stone, deck finished, etc.), cut the 1" conduit flush with the finished surface. Sawing the conduit will not produce a flush surface, so grind, sand, or file as necessary. After cutting flush, deburr the inside diameter of the conduit. 6. Pull the panel cable through the conduit.
Installing Spa-Side and Optional Dolphin Base Transceiver Modules GUIDELINES FOR INSTALLING THE RF MODULES 1. Position both receivers away from any cables (such as power lines, extension cords, cable lines, and phone lines). 2. Mount the RF Module far away from large metallic objects (such as fences, aluminum siding, metal piping, and rain gutters). 3. Be sure there are no metal objects between the transceiver and the wireless, in-home panel or between the receiver and the pool/spa (for Dolphin use). 4.
pH/ORP/Conductivity pH, ORP and Conductivity sensors are mandatory when a chlorine generator is being used. These reading will allow the control to generate chlorine, adjust pH, and deliver alerts when chemistry is out of the desired ranges. INSTALLATION OF SENSORS 1. Splice in one reducing tee for each sensor (pH, ORP and Conductivity) with pipe dimensions as required by existing pool plumbing. Sensors should be located after the filter and before the heater or electrolytic chlorine generator.
CALIBRATION AND CARE (CONT) Dislodging air from within the pH bulb tip Winterization During shipping or storage, the electrolyte within the sealed pH bulb tip may have been replaced by entrained air bubbles. This may cause erroneous readings. To dislodge the air and to force the electrolyte back into the pH bulb tip, grasp the electrode near the cable end (but not the cable itself), and swing it downwards through an arc. 1.
Optional Chlorine Generation Cell Installation In conjunction with the chemical sensors, the chlorine generator cell can help minimize the management and use of liquid or solid chlorine products.
Water Flow Connecting the cell cord to the cell In most cases (for 1.5” and 2” PVC) the total water flow can be directed through the Cell Housing as shown in Sketch 3a) without significantly affecting the flow rate and/or backpressure on the filter, etc. However, if flow rate is a concern (high horse-power pump, large diameter piping, etc.), the ‘Cell’ can be installed on a by-pass (as shown in Sketch 3b). Note the need for a valve to ensure a good flow of water through the cell. 1.
Expansion Controller Connection This section only includes instructions on connecting the Expansion Controller(s) to the System Control Center. A single installation may utilize up to four expansion boxes. INSTALLATION OF AN EXPANSION BOX 1. Install the Expansion Controller following the installation instructions that are included with it. 2. Run 4-conductor cable through the low-voltage raceway from the System Control Center to the Expansion Control Center.
