Important Electrical Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. DANGER - Risk of electric shock. Before
making any electrical connections, make certain that
the Main Power breaker from the house breaker box
has been turned off.
2.
DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock. Do not
permit any electric appliance, such as a light,
telephone, radio, or television within 5' (1.5m) of a
pool or spa.
3.
WARNING - All electrical work must be
performed by a qualified electrician and must
conform to all national, state, and local codes.
4. Do not install or service this equipment if
precipitation is present or imminent.
5. Install the System Control Center in an area that is
not subject to flooding.
6. Install the System Control Center and all other high
voltage components at least 5' (1.5m) from the inside
wall of the pool or spa. Canadian installations must
be installed at least 3 meters from the inside wall of
the pool or spa.
7. A terminal marked “GROUND” is provided within
the System Control Center enclosure. To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal to the
grounding terminal of the electric supply panel with
a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent
in size to the circuit conductors supplying this
equipment, but no smaller than #12 AWG.
8. A bonding wire connector is provided on the outside
of the System Control Center to accommodate the
connection of a min. #8 AWG solid copper conductor
(#6 AWG in Canada) between this unit and the local
common bonding grid in the spa and pool area.
Additionally, any metal equipment, metal ladders,
metal enclosure of electrical equipment, metal water
pipe, or conduit within 5' of the unit or within 5' of
the pool (3 meters in Canada) must be connected to
the bonding wire connector.
9. The electrical supply circuit connected to the
System Control Center must be equipped with a
suitably rated disconnect device - a circuit breaker, a
GFCI circuit breaker, switch or other device capable
of opening all ungrounded conductors in the supply
circuit. This disconnect must be installed at least
5' from the pool or spa, but be within sight of and
readily accessible to the user.
10. This Control System provides the temperature
regulation for the pool and spa. The heater that is
connected to the control center must have its own
safety circuit that includes high temperature
limit switch(es).
11. A suitably rated circuit breaker or a GFCI circuit
breaker, must be installed in the electrical supply
circuit connected to the System Control Center. This
circuit breaker may also provide the disconnect
function referenced in item 9 if it meets the sight
and accessibility criteria.
12. This control system is provided with an Integral
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter for the underwater
lighting circuit. It is located on the right side of the
control enclosure under a Weather-Tite cover.
This GFCI must be tested before each use of the pool
or spa. To test the GFCI, follow the following steps:
1. Turn on the underwater pool lighting circuit.
2. Press the ‘RESET’ button fully.
3. Check the underwater lights to be sure they
are illuminated.
4. Press the ‘TEST’ button in order to trip the GFCI.
The ‘RESET’ button will pop out and the
underwater lights will go out.
5. Press the ‘RESET’ again and the underwater lights
will again be illuminated.
If this GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is
a ground current flowing indicating the possibility
of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until
the fault has been identified and corrected. Do
not use the pool or spa until these problems
have been corrected.
When installing and using this Control System, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including those
listed below:
