Do not mount the Pool Pilot
®
control center inside a panel or a tightly enclosed area lacking
proper and full ventilation. The enclosure is designed to allow heat to dissipate from inside the
box. It is important the top or bottom of the enclosure is not blocked and there is space behind
the control center to allow for adequate ventilation.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
l
Due to the weight of the control center, it is recommended to have another person assist you when
marking and mounting the wall.
The Pool Pilot
®
control center is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the wiring
inputs facing downward. Failure to mount the control center properly may result in the dislodging
of the unit, resulting in serious injury. To avoid damage to wiring and connectors, read the
following section before proceeding:
l
The control center should be set on a vertical surface, away from excessive heat, moisture and chemical
exposure.
l
The mounting brackets should be secured to a solid wall surface or wall stud.
l
Allow a clear area for the front access door to open completely as well as right side access to the
electrical box for service and maintenance.
8.5 Plumbing the System
The Manifold Assembly has 2" PVC slip socket connections. Metric PVC adapters, 2” spigot x
63 mm socket, are provided with metric manifold models that have an “M” suffix such as PPMxM.
The manifold is plumbed into the pool return line after the heater, if applicable.
For convection cell applications, a surge / water collection tank is required in place of the
manifold assembly.
8.5.a Plumbing the Manifold Assembly
Select the location for installing the manifold:
l
It is recommended to select a secure location for the Pool Pilot
®
control center prior to plumbing the
manifold. The unit must be installed close enough to the manifold assembly to allow the Tri-sensor and
cell cord sufficient slack to enable service and maintenance of the system. The cords are 12 ft (3.6 m)
long.
l
The bypass manifold / cell assembly (model 941-xxx) must be installed in a vertical orientation. This
orientation prevents hazardous gas buildup in the system should the flow switch fail to detect sufficient
flow.
See "Basic System Overview" on page 22.
l
The direction of the water flow through the manifold must be as indicated for the system to operate.
8.5.b Plumbing for Convection Cell Applications
l
It is recommended the surge / water collection tank be planned prior to installation of the Pool Pilot
®
control center. The unit must be installed close enough (within 12 ft (3.6 m)) to the surge / collection tank
for the Tri-sensor and cell cords to reach without excessive tension on the cords.
l
The Tri-sensor should be installed in a bypass configuration, after filtration, and close enough for the cord
to easily reach the control center.
See "Basic System Overview" on page 22.
l
The convection cells should be submerged with a minimum clearance of 6 inches (15.2 cm) below the
water line and 6 inches (15.2 cm) above the bottom of the water tank.
