Caution
The electronics for the chlorinator are factory wired for 240
VAC service. If the available electrical service is 120 VAC
then the power supply wiring must be changed to operate
on 120 VAC as shown.
The chlorinator’s electronics are powered from the LOAD
SIDE of the pool circulation pump relay; therefore, if the
available electrical service is 120 VAC, then the pump
must also be wired for 120 VAC.
Section 4. Wiring
The Jandy TRUCLEARXL cell can only be powered
with the TRUCLEARPS power pack. The Jandy
TruClearXL Salt Chlorinator is compatible with Jandy
Automation systems using RS485 connection. Refer
to the Jandy TruClearXL Power Pack manual for
detailed wiring instructions.
It is advised that the salt water chlorination system be
wired on the same circuit as the filter pump. This will
ensure that the cell will not operate in a no flow
condition. Operating the cell in a no flow condition will
greatly impact the performance and longevity of the cell
and could cause a buildup of hazardous gasses.
4.1 Bonding
The National Electrical Code® (NEC® in the United
States) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC in
Canada) requires pool equipment to be bonded to each
other.
Check your local codes to determine if the NEC or CEC
and/or other local installation codes are enforced by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ in the United States)
or the local competent authorities in Canada. A solid,
copper 8.37 mm
2
(8 AWG) wire is required, per the NEC
and CEC (CEC Requirement is 6AWG), for bonding
the power pack to a permanent bonding connection
that is acceptable to the local AHJ or the local
competent authorities in Canada. Refer to your locally
enforced codes for the acceptable bonding wire gauge.
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 mm
2
(6 AWG).
4.2 Split Return Plumbing Instructions:
For Infloor Cleaning Systems
If the chlorinator is used with an in-floor cleaning system, it
must be installed in a separate dedicated return line or
damage to the chlorinator will occur.
NOTE
Do not install the chlorinator on in-floor systems
that do not have a dedicated pool return
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 (See Section 3.6, Bonding).
• Install to permit access for servicing.
• Select field conductor size appropriately, taking into
consideration length of circuit and in accordance with
applicable installation codes. Wiring should only be
attempted by a qualified professional.
Before To avoid property damage, serious injury or death,
do not operate the electrolytic cell without water circulation
or if cell housing is damaged or improperly assembled. A
buildup of flammable gases which can result in FIRE OR
EXPLOSION. The salt water chlorination system must be
interconnected with the pool pump motor power source to
ensure that the chlorinator only operates when the pool
pump is running. The flow sensor feature of the Jandy
TruClearXL is intended to be used as a backup only and
should not be used as the sole source of flow detection.
