accompany your selected control system thoroughly.
Electrical wiring must be in accordance with the latest
edition of the
Australian Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000)
and all other applicable installation codes.
Refer to
Figure 12
for a complete diagram of wiring
connections and terminals.

7.2
Connecting to a Remote TSTAT (2-Wire Connection)
An interrupt (on/off-type) remote can be connected as a
Remote TSTAT to turn the heater on or off but not
perform any other function. When using this type of
connection, remember to set the heater control to “SPA”
and set the thermostat control to maximum.
7.2.1
Install the Remote TSTAT:
•
Turn off the power to both the pool/spa control
system and the heater unit.
•
Remove the front panel.
•
Run the wires from the pool/spa control system
through the low voltage knockout on the right or left
hand side of the heater.
•
Connect the wiring from the pool/spa control system
to the heater remote control terminal.
• Connect the two wires to Pool and Common (not
Spa) on the J6 terminal bar. See
Figure 12
item “b”.
•
Reinstall panel.
•
Restore power to the heater and the pool/spa control
system.
NOTE:
If you install a time clock to control the filter pump
operation, it is recommended that the time clock have its own low
voltage (Fireman’s) switch to turn off the heater before turning off
the pump. The switch should shut off the heater about 15 minutes
before the filter pump shuts off. This will allow for a more efficient
operation by removing any residual heat contained in the heat
exchanger back to the pool.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the heater,
do not
connect the power supply
of the heater to the output side of the clock
if your time clock
simply interrupts the high voltage power supply or has a high voltage
output. Doing so will prevent the blower from purging the residual
heat from the heater when the heater turns off. The blower must be
allowed to run for 45 seconds after the heater shuts off.
7.2.2
Configure the Control Panel:
• Make sure the pool heater is OFF.
• Press and hold MENU, then the POOL and SPA
buttons for 5 seconds to access Service Setup mode.
NOTE:
The display will revert back to OFF after 1 minute since the
last key press.
• Press MENU,
REMOTE OFF
(default remote) is

Use Up or Down to scroll through the Remote options
until
REMOTE TSTAT
is displayed, then press MENU to
select.
•
Press POOL or SPA to exit Service Setup mode.

Press SPA to adjust the set point to the maximum
40°C.
