Basic Installation
BASIC INSTALLATION: (Read instructions completely before beginning installation.)
1. 2. 3. BE SURE THAT POWER IS TURNED OFF BEFORE WIRING POWER CENTER. Remove Power Center and brackets from the shipping box. Mount brackets to the back of the Power Center. Secure Power Center to a sturdy surface. Determine the best location for the Pool Control (switch plate) and mount a double gang box (not included) at this location. If the Pool Control switch plate will be installed outdoors, use a weather-tight double gang box. Seal all unused openings at the top and sides of the weathertight box with silicone sealer and provide a small drain hole (1/8") at the bottom. Run electrical conduit with sweep elbows between the Power Center and the double gang box. Open the Power Center door; unscrew and remove both the faceplate and the Low Voltage Panel which the faceplate covers. The orange transformer connector should already be on J1 (3-pin). The time clock should already be wired and its switch (not its motor) should be connected to the F. PUMP socket (SK1) on the underside of the circuit board. Run 8-conductor wire through conduit between Pool Control switch plate and Power Center. This wire runs through the Low Voltage raceway on left side of Power Center. (See Pool Control Wiring Diagram on Page 10.) Do not run high voltage (line power) wires in this raceway. Strip the 8-conductor wires no more than 3/8", noticing that the Green/Black wire should be skipped, as it is not used for this model. Follow Wiring Diagram to connect these wires to terminals 1 through 11 (skip terminals 2, 5, 8, 9, and 14).

HEATER WIRING CONNECTIONS: Thermostat: Connect two 18 AWG wires rated for 105 degrees C in series with the heater's thermostat. Turn the heater's thermostat to desired water temperature and set the selector switch to ON. (See Fig. 3 - Gas Heater Connection on Page 7, or see "Electric Heater socket" paragraph on Page 4.)

9.

JVA 2440 - Mount JVA on cleaner valve (if applicable) and feed wire through low voltage raceway to the circuit board. Plug in cord according to Wiring Diagram.

10. Wire the filter pump and other high voltage equipment to the relay contacts as shown in the Wiring Diagram on Page 10 for the Aux 1 Relay (Line, Load for 120 VAC - Line 1, Load 1, Line 2, Load 2 for 220 VAC). Plug relay coil wires into appropriate relay sockets. For example, plug the coil wires connected to the relay controlling the filter pump into the F. PUMP socket. Connect equipment grounds, and wire system power to 120 VAC. 11. Pool Control Connection - Go to the double gang box location, strip each of the 7 wires and using wire nuts, connect them to the rocker switches per the Wiring Diagram on Page 10. Install the Pool Control switch plate with the gasket seal (see gasket seal installation instructions on Page 6) into double gang box. Do not put on decal until testing has been completed. 12. Close panel, turn on power and test system, including rocker switches at the Pool Control switch plate. Set the time clock(s) by rotating clocks clockwise only.

Installation of Optional Equipment

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING OPTIONAL OR UNCOMMON EQUIPMENT:
s

To install a second time clock (Part Number 7152): A second time clock can control the pool cleaner pump, pool cleaner JVA or either of the auxiliary circuits. If a second time clock is installed, plug its switching wires into the appropriate socket, according to the desired function (marked on the circuit board) (see Fig. 1 - Back View of Circuit Board, Page 6). Electric Heater socket and TB2 (for use with a high voltage electric heater or heat pump): (See Fig. 1 - Back View of Circuit Board, Page 6.) The Electric Heater socket and TB2 are used if a high voltage electric heater or heat pump with a 120 VAC thermostat is installed, or if the heater is a millivolt type and the distance to the switch plate (control) is 10 feet or more. If so, plug the coil wires for the relay which will drive that heater into this socket. Connect the two wires from the HEATER switch (middle and upper terminals) on the Pool Control switch plate to TB2; do this instead of using the HEATER switch wiring shown on the Wiring Diagram on Page 11. In this case, TB1 pins 9 through 14 will have no wires connected to them. Heater Cool Down Option (JP1): Normally, the filter pump is kept running for about 5 minutes, after the filter pump switch is turned off, or after the filter pump time clock turns off. This allows the heater to cool down safely. If this is not needed (for use with heat pumps or electric heaters which do not retain residual heat), move the slide-on jumper to pins 1 and 2 of JP1; in that position, the filter pump turns off immediately. JP1 is located on the back side of the circuit board, near the corner by the Electric Heater socket (see Fig. 1 - Back View of Circuit Board, Page 6). Freeze Protection (Part Number 7026): Mount the Freeze Sensor in the Low Voltage raceway, as per instructions included in Freeze Sensor Kit, Part No. 7026. Without letting the capillary tube of the Freeze Sensor kink or bend, carefully uncoil and extend it outside through the knockout hole at the bottom of Power Center. Connect Freeze Sensor switch to terminals 7 and 8 on TB1 (see Pool Control Wiring Diagram on Page 11 for location of TB1).

NOTE: To allow the pool cleaner to operate less time than the filter pump, you will need to install a second time clock, Part No. 7152, and a relay, Part No. 6581. Remove the jumper between pins 5 and 8 on the TB1 if a cleaner time clock is installed.

FUNCTIONS OF POWER CENTER SWITCHES:

FILTER PUMP Switch AUTO Allows normal control of the pump by the time clock, and by a user at the Pool Control panel. OFF Keeps the filter pump off. This means the pump cannot be turned on by the Filter Pump switch at the Control Panel, by the time clock, the cleaner selection, or even by the Freeze Sensor. Switching to this OFF position also interrupts the Heater Cool Down function, if that is currently keeping the pump on. MANUAL Turns the pump on directly. NOTE: The heater cannot be turned on from this Power Center switch. The time clock must be engaged in order to heat the pool using the Power Center switches. VALVES Switch - This switch applies only to the AquaSwitch Pool and Spa system, not the Pool Control system.

Gasket Seal Installation

Installing the Gasket Seal Inside the Pool Control Switch Plate
If mounting Pool Control switch plate indoors, place the black gasket seal inside the switch plate (with cutout for LED facing towards top of unit) before securing switch plate to wall. After switch plate has been attached to the wall with four screws, tear off outer perforated edge of gasket seal extending outside the switch plate. If the unit is to be installed outdoors, place the gasket seal inside the switch plate and tear off excess material at inner perforation. Be sure cutouts for the drain holes are located at the bottom of switch plate and LED cutout is at the top. Turn the switch plate over and attach to outlet box with four screws.

Figure 3. Single Thermostat Heater Connection

At the Power Center: For an electronic ignition heater (which uses Low voltage AC power), connect the two wires from the heater to terminals 12 and 13 of the 14-pin terminal bar. For a millivolt heater (which is not AC-powered), estimate the length of the wire run from the Control Panel to the Power Center. If the distance is short (less than about 10 feet), connect as above (to terminals 12 and 13). For longer runs, use of an additional relay can avoid problems due to voltage drop along the wire run. Connect as for an Electric (high voltage) heater; see pages 4 and 5. NOTE: Some heaters require a remote wiring harness; check with the heater manufacturer to determine if this is needed.

Pool Control Owner's Instructions

The four rocker switches on the Pool Control switch plate are used to control your filter pump and three auxiliary functions you have selected to have installed, such as a pool heater, lights, fountains or fiber optics. A 24-hour time clock regulates filtration to keep your pool clean.

Operation from the Pool Control switch plate

(The two switches back at the Power Center must be in the "AUTO" (up) position to operate the Pool Control normally.) FILTER PUMP SWITCH The filter pump switch will override the time clock and start circulation throughout the pool. NOTE: The Pool Control is equipped with a heater cool down delay. The filter pump will run for approximately 5 minutes after it has been deactivated from either the time clock or filter pump switch, unless the installer has disabled this cool down function. HEATER SWITCH To activate heater, press the heater switch to ON. If the time clock has not turned on the pump, move the filter pump switch to ON. CAUTION: Remember to turn off the heater switch when you have finished heating the pool. Failure to do so will cause the heater to run during the regular time clock cycle. AUX 1 AND AUX 2 SWITCHES The ON (up) position turns on any auxiliary equipment (pool light, waterfall, etc.). Check with the installer of the equipment to determine what is on the circuit. NOTE: The installer may select an auxiliary switch on the control panel to operate the pool cleaner. When engaged, the Pool Control will automatically turn on the filter pump and pool cleaner. The pool cleaner can also be engaged from the filter pump time clock or from a second time clock, depending on the installation.

Operation from the Power Center

TIME CLOCK Large dial Sets the regular on/off cycle for the pump. See directions printed on the Power Center panel. (Turn this dial clockwise only). This is an override knob, which can be used to start and stop the pump regardless of the time. Regular cycle will resume the next period (a period is 1/2 hour) following any turning of this knob. (Turn this knob counterclockwise.) (continued)

Small dial

Pool Control Owner's Instructions

FILTER PUMP SWITCH AUTO Allows normal control by the time clock, or by a user at the Pool Control switch plate. OFF Keeps the pump off. This means the pump cannot be turned on by the Filter Pump switch, time clock, cleaner selection, or even by the Freeze Sensor. Switching to this OFF position also stops the heater cool down function, if that function is currently keeping the pump on. Turns on the filter pump directly. This position will not allow the heater to fire.

MANUAL

VALVES SWITCH This switch applies only to the AquaSwitch Pool and Spa system; it is not used for the Pool Control. L.E.D. The light emitting diode (L.E.D.) will flash during the cool down cycle.

For normal operation, both switches should be left in the AUTO position.
