Mounting the Equipment
OmniPL Wiring Panel
The OmniPL Wiring Panel is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting.
The control must be mounted a minimum of 6 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa
(more, if local codes require). The Wiring Panel is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with
the knockouts facing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat
from inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount the Wiring
Panel inside a panel or tightly enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables lengths for flow switches and temperature
sensors, as well as optional accessories like Hayward TurboCells and actuators are all 15 ft. (5m)
long.
The Wiring Panel weighs approximately 60lbs and will require two people to position and install.
Select the proper location and mounting hardware given the size and weight of the unit. The Wir-
ing Panel mounting brackets require a total of 6 mounting bolts to fasten the Wiring Panel to the
mounting surface.
In all cases the heat sink on the back of the Wiring Panel panel should not contact the wall behind
the panel. This restricts air flow and makes the heat sink less efficient. A minimum separation of 1/8”
(except for vinyl siding) should be maintained between any heat sink pin and the siding on the wall
behind the enclosure. In the case of a flat wall the mounting flanges on the enclosure ensure that the
minimum clearance is maintained. For shingles, clapboards or other siding with a non-flat profile,
the installer must ensure the minimum separation. Refer to the diagram on page 7.
Special Installation Instructions for Vinyl Siding
IMPORTANT: The heat sink on the back of the OmniPL panel cannot be allowed to contact vinyl sid-
ing; during normal chlorinator operation the heat sink pins get warm enough to deform vinyl siding
on contact. An increased minimum separation of 3/8” should be maintained between any heat sink
pin and the vinyl siding behind the enclosure.
