WIRING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ULTRA UV2
The Ultra UV2 must be wired to a GFI. The ballast is voltage sensing.
The terminal block inside the unit will either be wired with 2 hot leads
or one hot and one neutral lead. The green will always be wired to the
grounding post (Step 1).
1. Run the 3 wires through the flex-tite conduit and the flex-tite female
nut. Run the 3 wires through the remaining part of the flex-tied
connector and into the unit (Step 2).
2. Make sure there is extra wire inside the unit to easily reach the
connector bar and grounding post in the unit.
3. Then apply silicon to the wires to the inside of the connector to
form a plug (Step 2) before pushing or screwing the flex-tite to the
barbed/threaded end of the connector that is filled with silicone.
Then attach the flex-tite female connector nut to the male part of the
flex-tite that is connected to the tank (Step 3).
Step 1
Step 3
Step 2
The electrical power rating for your Ultra UV2 unit is shown on the silver label located on the outside of the unit.
(Fig. 3 on page 4) Make sure the supplied power meets the units electrical requirements. Connecting any
power than that listed on the rating label will damage the unit and will VOID your limited warranty.
120V 50/60Hz Ultra UV2 units
If your supply power is 120V 50/60Hz the label on your unit should match. At 120 volts, the power draw
is 2.6 amps maximum for a 3 lamp system. This low power consumption makes operating this unit very
economical. Your Ultra UV2 120V unit is supplied with a weatherproof power cord terminating with a
3-prong grounded NEMA plug. An outdoor rated ground fault circuit interrupter must be installed in the
electrical outlet serving the Ultra UV2 unit (subject to your local electrical codes).
Do not cut the plug off the electrical cord and connect it directly to
a 120V power source. If this is done your warranty is voided and
the U.L. listing is invalidated.
WARNING
Note: Some jurisdictions do not allow corded connections for these types of appliances. Check your local
and national electrical codes. If hard wiring is required it must be done by a licensed electrical service
person. The Ultra UV2 unit uses voltage sensitive ballast 120/230 volts. When wiring the unit 230 volts
the black and white wires are wired hot and the green wire is ground. Amp draw on a 1 or 2 lamp unit is
120V/230V 1.3A/.56A, 3 lamp unit is 120V/230V 2.6A/1.12A. Should the electrical cord become frayed or
damaged in the future, unplug it from the power receptacle and replace it immediately.
230V 50/60Hz Ultra UV2 Units
If you supplied power is 230V 50/60Hz the label on your unit should match. A junction box with 6” of lead
wire is supplied for 230V Ultra UV2 Units.
Remember you CANNOT operate your Ultra UV2 on any power supply other than that indicated on the
units silver label.
Have this work done by a licensed electrical technician.
NOTICE
ELECTRICAL BONDING
Locate the bonding lug next to the power cable (Fig. 4). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the bonding lug means
provided in the electrical supply service panel with a continuous copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bond grid in the area of
the pool or spa to this terminal with an insulated or bare copper conductor per
national and local codes. The electrical installation is now complete.
Failure to silicone the
wires in the connector
could result in water from
a leak in the unit leaking down the conduit and causing non-
warranted damage to other components.
