Section 3. Installation

3.1Power Center Mounting

1.The Power Center should be located at or near the equipment pad. Locate the Power Center at least five (5) feet or more away from pool/spa and five (5) feet off the ground. All national, state, and local codes are applicable.

NOTE For Canadian installations, the Power Center must be at least three (3) meters (9.8 feet) away from the pool/spa and 1.5 meters (5 feet) above the ground.

2.Use the mounting brackets and instructions provided with the Standard Power Center and/or Sub-Panel Power Center.

3.Sub-Panel Power Centers have special code requirements. Be sure to follow all applicable local and state codes to insure safe installation.

NOTE The Power Center is not to be considered as suitable for use as Service Equipment. Therefore, it is required to have the appropriate means of disconnection, circuit isolation, and/or branch circuit protection installed upstream of the Power Center.

3.2High Voltage Wiring

3.2.1System Power

WARNING

Potentially high voltages in the AquaLink RS Power Center can create dangerous electrical hazards, possibly causing death, serious injury or property damage. Turn off power at the main circuit feeding the AquaLink RS Power Center to disconnect the Power Center from the system.

Depending on the amount of equipment being controlled, run ½" or larger conduit from the power supply panel to the bottom of the Power Center. If you are using the Sub-Panel Power Center, wire power to the appropriate breakers. Pull in appropriate wire for equipment. Each piece of equipment requires its own high voltage relay. Connect 120 volts to the Power Center terminals. Connect equipment ground(s). See Figures 1 and 2.
