Hayward OmniHub Installation Manual Download

Page: 15 / 60

The example below shows a typical retrofit of the OmniHub into a system with an existing 115 VAC

filter pump. In this case, switched or timed input power to the pump is disconnected and distributed

to the input sides of both the OmniHub and a Smart Relay. Because the OmniHub and Smart Relays

require constant power, an existing timeclock or switch must be set to power both constantly. The

115 VAC pump is then wired to the output side of the Smart Relay.

Note that this connection method will work for 230 VAC, using the 230 VAC connections on the

Smart Relay.
