GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER
WARNING
When using electrical products, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
•
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
Before attempting installation or
service, ensure that all power to the device is
disconnected/turned off at the circuit breaker.
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
• Grounding is required. The unit should be installed
by a qualified service representative and should be
properly grounded and bonded.
• Install to permit access for servicing.
• Please read all cautions and safety instructions in
the Important Safety Instructions section.
Before
attempting any electrical wiring, be sure to
read and follow safety instructions. Wiring
should only be attempted by a qualified
professional.

CONNECT GROUNDING WIRES AND
TRANSFORMER WIRES
The National Electrical Code
®
(NEC
®
) requires pool
equipment to be bonded to each other. Check your
local codes to determine if the NEC and/or other local
installation codes are enforced by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ).
A solid, copper wire minimum 8 AWG (8.37 mm
2
)
wire is recommended, per the NEC, for bonding the
controller to a permanent bonding connection that
is acceptable to the local AHJ. Refer to your locally
enforced codes for the acceptable bonding wire gauge.
Each piece of non-related pool equipment requiring
a ground should also be bonded to the common,
approved bonding point. There should be one bonding
connection to the controller. In Canada, the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC
®
) dictates that the bonding
conductor be a minimum of 6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
)
National Electrical Code® (NEC®) requires bonding
of the Pool Water. Where none of the bonded pool
equipment, structures, or parts are in direct connection
with the pool water; the pool water shall be in
direct contact with an approved corrosion-resistant
conductive surface that exposes not less than 5800
mm² (9 in²) of the surface area to the pool water at all
times. The conductive surface shall be located where
it is not exposed to physical damage or dislodgement
during usual pool activities, and it shall be bonded in
accordance with the bonding requirements of NEC
Article 680. Refer to locally enforced codes for any
additional bonding requirements.

CONNECT ADDITIONAL
EQUIPMENT TO AUX RELAYS
Use the three (3) additional AUX relays to wire
additional high voltage equipment, such as underwater
lighting, heater, booster pump, etc. Connect only one
device per relay.
For each device:
1.
Connect ground wire to ground bar.
2.
Connect line power to Line 1 and 2.
3.
Connect equipment power to Load 1 and 2.
