WIFI MODULE INSTALLATION KIT (OPTIONAL)
You may control your 8000 ES or CS spa system remotely using your smart phone, and/or other
connected mobile device by installing the optional wifi antenna kit #34-0126E.
A yard friendly connection can be established directly from peer to peer, or an intranet
connection can be made through a localized router for premier global control. Review the BWG
information provided with the wifi antenna kit to explain the capabilities and options
Follow these steps for installing the wifi antenna kit
Step 1 - Disconnect power to the control system before performing work
Step 2 - Route the antenna cable through one of the knockouts in the 8000 cabinet. Reference
component connection page in this manual for a diagram showing the knockout locations
Step 3 - Insert the wifi cable plug into any empty connection port on PCB marked “Main” if a
receptacle is unavailable, use the provided “Y” cable splitter for connecting 2 devices to a single
“Main” port

Step 4 - selecting a location for the antenna
Do not
mount the wifi antenna inside or attached to the 8000 cabinet or other metal enclosure, as
this will cause a reduction in reception capability. Follow the kit instructions and locate the
antenna as high as possible, away from metal objects, and towards the home router.
The wifi antenna is indoor/outdoor weather resistant and therefore must be located under a visor
that provides shade and/or protection from extreme weather conditions.
Mount the antenna with the arrow facing up, and make sure the cable is protected from objects
and materials that may cause damage
Step 5 – Follow kit instructions for setup and connection of your Smart phone or other wireless
device using the BWA™ APP
Step 6 - testing
Before permanently mounting antenna with the provided screws, confirm the wifi connection is
satisfactory. If you're experiencing problems, it may be necessary to relocate the antenna closer
to the home router (or an improved line of site with a peer to peer only connection)
*A wifi antenna cable extension is available from your Hydro Quip system provider
