recommends that a licensed electrician or certified electrical contractor perform the electrical connections.
En
sure that the electrical panel or filter pump circuit breaker is turned OFF before wiring this unit.

Control Box comes pre-wired from the factory for 230VAC (1.5 amps max draw) and can also
operate on 115 VAC, (3.0
amps max draw) at 50/60Hz. Short test lead wires are attached to the terminal strip and must be
removed prior to installation.
Converting to 115VAC
is accomplished by accessing the circuit board, rewiring, and attaching the included jumper as
shown below. Remove the cover (see page 10) to access and ensure that the Jumper Connections on the circuit board marked
“TRANSFORMER PRIMARY” are matched to the LINE IN voltage. Follow all state/local codes for electrical installations.
►An additional jumper is

Cell Cord
.
Each Cell Cord contains (2) Banana Plugs that attach to the (2) Banana Jacks on the bottom of the Control Box.
Polarity does not matter. The other end of the cell cord has a three-position plug that connects to the cell in any direction. For
the
PPC1
and
PPC3
Cell Types, ensure the red cap is inserted into the hole not used. See page 11 for service instructions.
Tri-

ensor Cord
.
The Tri-
s
ensor Cord connects to the keyed 6-pin harness on the Control Box Base Plate. The opposite
end of the cord connects to the Tri-
s
ensor Assembly with a locking ring quick connect. Align the grove and keyway on the
connector and twist the locking ring to ensure a proper connection. Refer to the instructions on pages 10 & 12 for diagrams
and additional instructions.
ORP Connection
.
When an ORP Chemical Controller is interfaced to your
Pool Pilot
®
Soft Touch
, the Chemical
Controller will remotely control the purifier Output. Adjust the output level to 0% (All Purifier Output lights off) and connect
the ORP controller to the 2-pin connector on the Control Box Base Plate. When the ORP is activated, the system will generate
chlorine. If it is desired to have a visual confirmation of chlorine generation with the ORP feed is on, increase the Purifier
Output to show the first LED light by pressing the arrow up one time. When the ORP feed is on, this light will flash.
CAUTION
: THE ORP CONNECTIONS ARE DRY CONTACT INPUTS, DO NOT ENERGIZE THESE
INPUTS! DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL BOX WILL OCCUR AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
