Manual
ENGLISH
3.3 Install the Power Pack and Cell
1. Ensure placement of the cell, the power pack, and
the cell will meet all the installation requirements
outlined in Section 3.2.
WARNING
We recommend that any procedure requiring potential
contact with live electrical wiring and/or parts other
than cords and plugs connected to electrical outlets be
completed by a contractor who is licensed and qualified
in pool equipment as described on the front cover of this
manual. Failure to follow warning notices and instructions
may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
2. Screw the power pack bracket into position on a
wall surface or post where it will mount securely,
while ensuring it is no more than 4.6 m (15 ft.)
from the cell.

4. Unscrew the locking ring from the cell and the pod
in order to extract them from the lower clamp.
5. Press the two (2) push-buttons on either side of
the upper clamp to separate the upper clamp from
the lower clamp.
3.4 Bonding
WARNING
The National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC) requires that pool equipment
be bonded to each other. Make sure to check your
local codes to determine if the NEC, CEC, and/
or other local installation codes are enforced by
the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or the local
competent authorities in Canada. A solid copper
bonding conductor min. 8.37 mm² (8 AWG), 13.3
mm² (6 AWG) in Canada, shall be used for bonding
the power pack to a permanent bonding connection
that is acceptable to the AHJ or local competent
authority. A bonding conductor is included with this
product. 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.
To avoid property damage, serious injury or death,
NEVER use the chassis backplate of the power pack
to ground any other equipment.
Attach the bonding point located on the bottom of the
chassis backplate to a common bonding point. Do not
use the power pack as the common bonding point.
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 power pack. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC) dictates that the bonding conductor be,
minimum 13.3 mm2 (6 AWG).
National Electrical Code
®
(NEC®) requires bonding of
the Pool Water for Permanently Installed Pools. 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 your locally enforced codes for
any additional bonding requirements.
