Installing the Power Pack
The power pack can be mounted on a wall or a post. If mounting on a post, center the Power Pack on a
flat panel of waterproof material at least 10" W x 18" H. If mounting on a wall, it can be secured by the
chassis (preferred method) or hang by cover.
•
Do not enclose the power pack in any box.
•
Do not install it above any heat source.
•
Install it a minimum of 10 feet from the pool edge. Refer to local building codes for requirements.
•
The power pack is hard-wired to 220V ONLY. Wire it to the "LOAD" side of the pump timer, so
that the chlorinator is powered only when the pump is powered.
•
The 3 ft input cable cannot be removed. (Removal will void ETL approval.) Use of a junction box
may be required in some installations.
•
Attach the yellow plug cap to the cell and replace the blue cap.
Wiring to an Automation System Controller
The LM3 Saltwater Chlorinator can run independently or be connected to a Pool Automation System. Two
connection methods are available.
Via an Auxiliary Relay at the Controller
(For installations using non-compatible controllers.)
Using this method the LM3 main power is connected to an auxiliary relay in the pool automation system
controller. The LM3 unit is switched on and off as determined by the controller.
The “Output Setting” and the selection of “Super Chlorinate” must be selected at the LM3 control panel.
The LM3 will retain these settings when switched on by the controller until they are manually changed.
The Super Chlorinate function will remain active for a total of 24 operating hours after
being selected.
IMPORTANT: The LM3 should only have power when there is water flow and actuator valves
should never block the flow when power is on. Refer to the controller’s installation guide for
additional information.
Via a Communications Link
The LM3 has the capability of being interfaced with a number of controller units:
• Polaris EOS
• Jandy Aqualink RS* (REV K and L)
• Pentair IntelliTouch**
Using this method, main power is supplied to the LM3 via the controller’s PUMP output and a
communications link is made between the LM3 and the Pool Automation system.
Hardwire the LM3 power pack to the LOAD side of the pool pump relay. While wiring to the pump relay is
the preferred method, the LM3 main power can be wired to an auxiliary relay.
