3.1 Power Center Mounting
1. The power center should be located at or near the
equipment pad. Locate the power center at least
3.5M or more away from pool/spa and 1.5M off
the ground. All national, state, and local codes are
applicable.
2. Use the mounting brackets and instructions
provided with the standard power center.
NOTE
The power center is not to be considered
as suitable for use as service equipment.
Therefore, it is required to have the appropriate
means of disconnection, circuit isolation, and/or
branch circuit protection installed
upstream
of
the power center.

3.2 High Voltage Wiring
3.2.1
System Power
Depending on the amount of equipment being
controlled, run 1/2” or 3/4” conduit from the power
supply panel to the bottom of the power center. Pull in
appropriate wire for equipment.
3.2.2
Bonding the Power Center
Install a bonding lug to the power center enclosure.
Connect the bond lug, using a #8 solid copper core
wire, to an approved earth ground (an approved ground
stake, grid, or conducting metal water pipe buried to a
sufficient depth). See Figure 6.
WARNING
Potentially high voltages in the AquaLink Power Center
can create dangerous electrical hazards, possibly
causing death, serious injury or property damage.
Turn off power at the main circuit of the AquaLink
Power Center to disconnect the Power Center from
the system. To properly and safely wire the system, be
sure to carefully follow the applicable requirements of
the latest, enforced version of AS/NZS 3000 and any
other applicable local installation codes. All applicable
local installation codes must also be adhered to.
