PL4/PSL4 Control Systems Power Center Installation Overview
read the following guidelines carefully:
• The Power Center must be installed at the equipment pad.
• AC power for the Power Center must be provided from the main circuit breaker panel
located at the house.
• All electrical equipment, except for UL Listed spa-side remote switches, must be installed
no less than five (5) feet (1.5 m), (Canada, 3 mm (9.75 ft) from pool and/or spa, and
comply with all national, state, and local codes (UL Listed spa-side remote switches may be
installed at near waterline).
• Install the Power Center no less than five (5) feet (1.5 m) from pool, spa, and hot tub.
Additionally, the installation shall allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter
and pump during system start-up, as explained on page iii.
• The TYPE 3R “Rainproof” enclosure can be mounted outside or inside of a pool equipment
shed or other enclosure.
• Before choosing the final location for the enclosure, consider the length of all of the
conductors that will have be connected to the enclosure. Make sure to consider cable
lengths for the sensors to the Power Center location. The air temperature sensor cable is
three (3) feet (91.44 cm) long and the water temperature sensor cable is 25 feet (7.62 m)
long.
• Mount the Power Center on a flat vertical surface so the conduit knockouts are located at
the bottom of the enclosure. Upper and lower brackets are provided to mount the enclosure.
• DO NOT mount the enclosure horizontally. Water can enter the conduit knockouts and
cause damage to the system and an electrical shock hazard. Install with conduit knockouts
down.
• Consider the Power Center location when routing conduit carrying the AC power to the
Power Center, and the conduit that will be run to the high voltage equipment.
• Install the Power Center so that drainage is provided for all electrical components.
• Motors should be listed for pool and spa applications and have built-in thermal protection.
• Allow unobstructed access to the front of the Power Center for the owner and service
personnel.
• The Power Center provides grounding screw terminals for grounding all equipment. All
equipment including the Power Center enclosure must be bonded to earth ground.
