Installing Conduit and Wire to the EasyTouch Load Center

Before installing electrical conduit, read the following recommended guidelines:

•Determine the number of low and high voltage circuits being used in the EasyTouch load center, the conduit size and runs needed based on the wire size, and the number of conductors within the conduit.

•Use 14 minimum to 6 maximum AWG for relay circuits depending on the load requirement. Be sure to follow all regulation safety codes for the number and size of conductors that can be installed in various sizes of conduit.

•Power supply cable to the EasyTouch load center must have a minimum supply conductor current of 60 AMP.

•Supply circuit must be protected by suitable breaker rated no higher than 125 AMP.

•To avoid obstruction into the EasyTouch load center, when using electrical conduit complete the installation of the conduit before concrete is poured. Also, underground conduit should be positioned in well compacted soil. Ensure that all conduit joints are well sealed and watertight.

To install electrical conduit and wires as needed:

WARNING - TO AVOID AN ELECTRICAL HAZARD - Do not connect the power source conductors to the EasyTouch load center circuit breaker until all electrical connections for all loads (heaters, pumps, motorized valves, and lights etc.) have been completed.

•Use the one of the three low voltage raceway 3/4" holes located on the underside of the enclosure for the temperature sensor wires (see page 17).

•For the AC power wire into the EasyTouch load center from the main circuit breaker at the house, use three conductors, one each for red, black, and white (or red, red and black for 220 VAC). The maximum load is 125 AMP at 120 VAC/240 VAC 60 Hz/50 Hz. These conductors should be secured to supply side of circuit breaker base. Use a 1" conduit run for these power conductors. For the main AC power conduit, it is recommended to use the 1" conduit knockout located directly under the enclosure circuit breaker.

CAUTION All of the electrical wiring methods and materials used to complete the electrical installation of the EasyTouch Pool/Spa Control System must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code or the Canadian Electric Code, as well as any local electrical codes in effect at the time of installation.

CAUTION All electrical materials used for the EasyTouch installation must be accomplished by, or be under the direct supervision of a qualified electrician.
