Electrical Connections and Wiring
General Information
Wiring connections must be made exactly as shown
in the wiring diagram found on the inside of the heat
pump access panel; see the wiring diagrams on
pages 9-11.
The UltraTemp
®
Heat Pump must include a definite
means of grounding and bonding. There is a ground
lug inside the heat pump electrical compartment and a
bonding lug on the left side of the heat pump.
Bonding
The National Electrical Code and most other codes
require that all metallic components of a pool structure,
including reinforcing steel, metal fittings, and above
ground equipment be bonded together with a solid
copper conductor not smaller than 8 AWG. The heat
pump, along with pumps and other pool equipment
must be connected to this bonding grid. A bonding lug
is provided on the left side of the heat pump to ensure
this requirement is met.
Main Power
Electrical wiring to the heat pump must be in
accordance with the latest edition of the National
Electric Code (NEC), ANSI/National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 70 in the United States, and in
Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) C22.1,
unless local code requirements indicate otherwise.
All wiring must be done by a certified or qualified
electrician.
The following is the procedure to wire the heat pump
to the electrical source:
Be sure the power to the circuit for the heat pump
is turned off.
1. Remove the front left panel of the heat pump
cabinet, (you do not need to remove the torque
head screw at the top left corner).
2. Remove the service panel to the heat pump
electrical compartment. (Front left corner of unit)
3. Electrical supply lines must be run through
watertight conduit. Run the wires and conduit from
the power source and connect them to the conduit
connection on the left side of the heat pump.
4. Connect the power leads to the bottom terminals
on the main compressor contactor as shown in
the wiring diagram.
5. Verify that all other contactor wires are secure,
they may have loosened during shipment.
6. Connect the ground wire to the ground lug
provided on the bottom of the electrical
compartment.
7. Replace the service panel and reinstall screws to
hold it in place.
8. Replace the front left panel.
9. Connect a copper bonding wire (8 AWG) to the
bonding lug on the left side of the heat pump.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.
This heat pump contains wiring that carries high voltage. Contact with these wires could result in death or serious injury to pool or
spa users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property. Always disconnect power circuit
before connecting the heat pump.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after servicing.
This heater must be connected to a bonding grid with
a solid copper wire not smaller in diameter than 8 ga.
