Electrical Requirements

WARNING!

Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.

Installation made by unqualified persons can result in hazards to the installer and others. The information contained in this Electrical Installation section is intended for use by qualified electrical installation technicians, familiar with electrical service industry safety standards and methods. Electrical installation to be performed by qualified individuals only.

General Requirements:

♦When possible, locate the equipment disconnect means within arm’s reach of the heater’s electrical enclosure or as close as possible to the heater. Always satisfy applicable codes and standards.

♦All AquaCal heat pumps are designed for copper conductors, only.

♦In sizing power wiring, be especially aware of up-sizing requirements necessary due to wiring distances. Always satisfy applicable codes and standards.

♦Multiple heaters installed at same site generally require special sequencing controls (AquaCal P.N.: ASC-(+number of heaters)); if yours is a multi-heater installation, contactAquaCal Technical Support (800-786-7751) for application assistance.

♦Electrical installation should be by licensed electrician only.

Code-Specific Requirements:

♦The electrical installation must conform to the most current version of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No.70, and all applicable local and state codes.

♦National Electrical Code,Article 680; Swimming Pools, Fountains, and Similar Installations, shall apply.

♦National Electrical Code,Article 440,Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment, shall apply.

Connecting External Controllers:

♦See document entitled: “Connecting External Controllers toAquaCal Heat Pumps”. This document is shipped inside heater, accompanying the electrical schematic. (For Call-Flexoption, contact AquaCal Technical Support. All other controllers, reference document, per above, shipped with heater.)

Reference Equipment Data Plate:

♦All Heat Wave and AeroTemp heat pumps have two (2) identical data plates affixed: one can be found outside the unit, on right front side of fan top; the second data plate is located within the unit, on the electrical enclosure cover. Refer to either equipment data plate for unit-specific electrical power supply requirements. Based on data plate information; size wiring, wiring devices, and over-current protection per applicable codes and standards.

♦Refer to drawing below for data plate items specific to electrical installation requirements. On the actual heater data plate, the areas depicted below (1-8) will contain the necessary information required in sizing electrical service and over-current protection.
