OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS
ELECTROSTATIC
SENSITIVES DEVICES

A
CAUTION:
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage can
be caused by direct or indirect contact with the wiring
or circuit board. When one walks to the heater area, an
electrostatic charge accumulates on the body. Contact
of a finger allows the body to discharge, possibly causing
device damage. This damage can be limited if the service
person discharges himself, following ESD preventive/
removal practices, and holds on to the heater enclosure
for 5 seconds before proceeding.
Important Installation Notes for Remote or External
Wiring Configuration:
• Remote wiring must be run in a separate conduit.
• Remote wiring must not be run parallel to high
voltage lines.
• For runs of under 30' (9.1 m), remote wiring should
have stranded conductors with a minimum of 22
AWG, 600V, cable twisting 1.5" to 2.5" (3.8 to 6.4 cm)
lay and jacketed.
• For runs over 30' (9.1 m), the conductors should be a
minimum of 20 AWG, 600V, cable twisting 1.5" to 2.5"
(3.8 to 6.4 cm) lay that is shielded and jacketed.
• Maximum cable length is 200' (61 m).
• For both two- and three-wire remote systems, the
provided 7-pin wiring connector must be utilized.
NOTE:
The remote wires must be connected to the 7-pin
connector before the connector is plugged into the board.
8.5.1. 2-Wire Remote Control (On-Off)
This application assumes that only one heating function
(pool or spa) is required.
1. Turn on power to the heater.
2. For a 2-Wire Remote Control from a remote without
its own sensor, push the MENU/SET button to the
“POOL” or “SPA” mode and set the desired setpoint
(eg. 102 °F (39°C) for Spa).
3. For a 2-Wire Remote Control from a remote with its
own sensor, push the MENU/SET button “POOL” or
“SPA” mode and set the temperature to the highest
setting available on the control. The actual setpoint
will be controlled by the remote control.
4. Turn the MENU/SET button to “OFF” and remove
power from the heater.
5. On the “Remote Interface Harness”, connect the
BLUE wire to one side of the “REMOTE” switch and
connect the other side to either the ORANGE/BLACK
wire for “SPA” operation or the BLACK/ORANGE wire
for “POOL” operation. See Figure 43.

6. Attach wire nut on unused wire to the “Remote
Interface Harness.”
7. Install the “7-Pin Remote Interface Harness” to the
P8 connector and turn power “On” to the heater.
See Figure 44.
8. For activation of the remote control, see section 8.4.3
on page 28.
8.5.2. 3-Wire Remote Control Using
Three-Position Switch (Pool-Off-
Spa, or Low-Off-High)
1. This application assumes that both heating functions
(pool and spa) are required.
1. Turn on power to the heater.
2. Push the menu/set button to the “POOL” or “SPA”
mode and set the desired temperature for each (eg.
80°F (27°C) for Pool and 102°F (39°C) for Spa).
3. Turn the MENU/SET button to “OFF” and remove
power from the heater.
