BONDING:
CAUTION
- This heater must be connected to a bonding grid with a solid copper conductor wire
gauge 8 AWG or larger. All Hayward heaters are designed for copper conductors only. The National
Electrical Code (NEC), and most other codes require that all metallic components of a pool structure,
including reinforcing steel, metal
fi
ttings and above ground equipment, be bonded together with a solid
copper conductor wire gauge 8 AWG or larger. The heater, along with pumps and other pool equipment
must be connected to this bonding grid. A bonding lug is provided on the side of the heater to ensure
that this requirement is met.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
The heater is equipped with a hot surface ignition control system that automatically lights the burners.
An external power supply is required to power the control sy
stem. The electrical speci
fi
cations for this heater
are 120 vac, 60Hz, 1-phase, 5.5A maximum current. It is recommended that circuit protection for the heater
circuit be rated at 15 Amperes.
REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTION:
The heater is capable of connection to an external 2-wire remote thermostat or to a 3-wire remote switch.
A 2-wire thermostat has its own temperature sensor for regulating water temperature. A 3- wire remote switch
allows the POOL or SPA modes to be remotely selected.
The remote wiring harness can be found in the vinyl pouch assembly below the gas valve. Plug the har-
ness into the ignition board as shown in Figure 12. Replace the plastic plug on the right side of the heater
with the supplied star bushing and run remote wiring through the bushing to the external thermostat or
switch. Use 3/16” male quick connects to attach
fi
eld supplied wiring to remote harness.
2-WIRE REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTION:
To con
fi
gure the heater for 2- wire remote thermostat
control, use the MODE key on the heater keypad to put the
control into STANDBY mode. Then press and hold both
the DOWN and MODE keys for 3 seconds until the display
shows the code “bo”.
On the remote control wiring harness
(Figure 1212),
connect the app
ropriate wires from the remote control to the
ORANGE wire (POOL) and WHITE wire (24V).
To operate the heater by remote thermostat, the heater’s
control must be in either POOL or SPA mode. The display will
show “bo”. The POOL or SPA LED will be illuminated. The
remote thermostat will operate the heater. The heater’s ther-
mostat will function to limit the water temperature to a maxi-
mum of 104°F.
3-WIRE REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTION:
In the remote control wiring harness
(Figure 1212), co
nnect the appropriate wires from the remote con-
trol to the ORANGE wire (POOL), WHITE wire (24V), and RED wire (SPA). To operate the heater with a
remote 3-wire switch, the heater’s control must be in STANDBY mode. The STANDBY LED will be il-
luminated. When the remote switch is set to “Pool/Low” the POOL LED will be illuminated and the water
temperature will be displayed. When the remote switch is set to “Spa/High” the SPA LED will be illuminated
and the water temperature will be displayed. The heater will use its internal thermostat to regulate the water
temperature to the set point of the mode selected.
