Remote Control Installation and Operation

CAUTION: Before installing remote controls to the RP2100 Digital Heater, read the following:

The Raypak RP 2100 Digital Heater is remote ready in most cases. The digital liquid crystal display (LCD) shows the actual pool temperature, operating status, and service codes (See examples below). The touch pad on the control panel allows you to select the desired pool or spa temperature. It also indicates when a remote system is controlling the heater by displaying REM in the display. When connecting the RP2100 Digital to a remote system, identify whether it is a two- or three-wire remote system. Select the appropriate instruction listed below to properly install the remote to the heater.

REMOTE OPERATION

The RP2100 Digital heater is equipped with the ability to work with external remote controls. The Raypak supplied 7-pin remote wiring connector supplies power out to either a toggle switch or the switch contacts of a third party remote. The remote works by either making or breaking the circuit created by the remote wiring. Typically, a remote does not supply power to the heater, it only provides a switching function to turn the heater on or off. If your remote is suppling its own voltage to the heater, it will not work with the RP2100 and may damage the digital circuit board.

Press and hold all three buttons for 5 to 7 seconds.

IMPORTANT - Please Read

When the heater is to be controlled by a remote you must choose REMon and the heater thermostat dis- play must be in the OFF mode. If the heater thermostat is left in a heat mode the heater will operate to this setting and the remote shut-off feature will not be functional.

Note: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage can be caused by direct or indirect contact with the wiring or circuit board. When one walks to the heater area, an electrostatic charge accumulates on the body. Contact of a finger allows the body to discharge, possibly causing device damage. This damage can be limited if the service person discharges himself by removing that charge by adhering to ESD preventative/removal practices and reducing that charge by holding on to the heater enclosure for 5 seconds before proceeding.
