SunTouch Pool and Spa Control System Installation and User’s Guide

Mounting the SunTouch Power Center

The SunTouch Power Center can be mounted on a flat vertical surface, such as a wall or post.

Note:

Select a convenient location to mount the SunTouch Power Center, making sure that the

location is greater than 5 feet from the pool or spa and no further than 15 feet from the pool/spa
valve.

To mount the SunTouch Power Center:

1. Position the SunTouch Power Center against the vertical flat surface. If wall anchors are being used,

support the SunTouch Power Center in position (horizontally level and square) against the surface
and mark the bracket hole pattern on the wall.

2. Secure the Power Center with three (3) screws in the mounting bracket holes. If using wall anchors,

use 3/16” drill and set the anchors and secure the enclosure with screws.
