Remote Equipment Topside Control 

Panel

The next few steps to complete the installation should 

be performed along with installation of the tempera-

ture sensor and 12V spa light wiring (if applicable). All 

of these components are generally installed using the 

same conduit. 

Locate  the  topside  control panel extension  loom 

1. 

in  the  control  box  mounted  with  the  equipment 

pack. This extension loom and attached black ter-

minal connector (see figure at right) will be used 

to connect the topside control panel to the control 

box.
Connect one end of the black terminal connector 

2. 

to the topside control panel cable.
Connect the other end of the terminal connector 

3. 

to the extension loom.

NOTE: This connection must be kept dry. We recom-

mend that a waterproof junction box be used in instal-

lations where moisture could penetrate this terminal 

connector. 

Lay out the extension loom to verify that you have 

4. 

enough length to reach the control box. Remem-

ber that conduit runs are not generally run in a 

straight  line.  Every  bend,  and  up  and  down  run 

consumes line length. Take this into consideration 

when verifying electrical and plumbing runs.

Electrical and Electronic Connection

Connect the extension loom to the control panel 

5. 

location  on  the  circuit  board  located  inside  the 

control  box.  You  will  also  need  to  connect  both 

the temperature and high limit sensors to the cir-

cuit board prior to testing. (See the temperature 

and high limit installation instruction on the next 

page for proper identification and see the wiring 

diagram on the inside cover of the control box for 

proper placement.) 

Turn on the power supply to the spa equipment 

6. 

and briefly test all functions on the topside control 

panel to verify that both connections and exten-

sion loom are in working order before proceeding 

with the installation.

NOTE: Circuit board programming will not allow spa 

operation  without  both  the  temperature  and  high 

limit sensors being properly connected to the circuit 

board.

Once topside panel operation is verified. Turn off 

7. 

power,  disconnect  the  extension  loom  from  the 

circuit board and GENTLY route through conduit 

to complete installation.

NOTE: This loom and its connector are not meant to 

withstand heavy pulling. Make sure, when routing the 

extension loom and temperature sensor lines through 

conduit, you exercise extreme caution.
Once properly run through the conduit, repeat steps 

5 and 6 above.
