Standard/Premier Edition MicroSilk™-Whirlpool
Control Box (120v).
The MicroSilk generator unit is
shipped separate from the bath. Follow the instructions
for the
MicroSilk Pump Assembly Field Installation
in the
INSTALLATION
section of this owner’s manual
(instructions are also packaged with the MicroSilk unit
packaging). The pump is prewired to the control box.
The control boxes have a 36” (91cm) cord with plug end.
The MicroSilk and pump control boxes are mounted on a
stand that is temporarily secured to the packing board for
shipping. These boxes must remain on the control box
bracket so that the two boxes can communicate properly
through their infrared communication feature. During
installation, the control box bracket and controls must be
positioned horizontally and located to permit access for
inspection and servicing. The MicroSilk pump’s power
cord will need to be plugged into the control box. Connect
the pump’s male NEMA plug to the female NEMA plug of
the control box’s load line. The MicroSilk control must be
plugged into a dedicated 120v, 20A, 60Hz, GFCI protected
circuit and the pump control must be plugged into another
dedicated 120v, 20A, 60Hz, GFCI protected circuit.
(See
Figure 9)
On Standard Edition baths, if an optional 1kw (kilowatt)
heater is operated with this control, then the pump control
and heater must be wired into a dedicated 30A (amp)
service. NOTE: The pump and MicroSilk dedicated circuits
must only power their specified controls.
