SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to
all national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this
electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa
or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken
or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow
rate marked on the equipment assembly. Risk of electric shock, which could
result in severe injury or death – Install the power center at least five (5)
feet (1.52 m) from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-
metallic plumbing. Canadian, Australian, and European installations must be at
least three (3) meters from the water.
- Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision.
- Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
- People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
A terminal bar marked “GROUND” is provided within the power center. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal bar to the grounding
terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper
conductor having green insulation and one that is equivalent in size to the
circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than no. 12 AWG
(3.3 mm 2 ). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no.
8 AWG (8.4 mm 2 ) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other
metal within five (5) feet (1.52 m) of the pool/spa. In Canada, the bonding
wire must be minimum 6 AWG (13,3 mm 2 ).
When a Power Center is used to power or switch an underwater luminaire,
suitable Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection for the lighting
circuit shall be provided in the field. The conductors on the load side of the
ground-fault circuit-interrupter shall not occupy conduit, boxes, or
enclosures containing other conductors unless the additional conductors are
also protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. Refer to local codes for
complete details.
To avoid injury ensure that you use this control system to control only
packaged pool/spa heaters which have built-in operating and high limit
controls to limit water temperature for pool/spa applications. This device
should not be relied upon as a safety limit control.
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia
occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of
hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an
increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia
include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3)
failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa;
5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of
drowning.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury
-
The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. -
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). -
Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
-
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
-
Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
-
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart
rate, blood pressure, and circulation. -
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
-
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
-
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.
-
Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
-
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
-
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 5 feet (1.52 m) of a spa or hot tub.
-
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Attention installer: Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.

Section 3. Installation
The transceiver will transmit through walls. However, steel framing, aluminum
siding, stucco wrought iron, chain link fences, leaded glass, and other 900
MHz frequency items may inhibit or prevent communication between the handheld
remote and the power center. To optimize communication, install transceivers
in a location that
minimizes interference.
WARNING
Potentially high voltages in AquaLink Power Centers can create dangerous
electrical hazards, possibly causing death, serious injury or property damage.
Turn off power at the main circuit feeding the power center to disconnect the
power center from the system.
3.1 Transceiver J-Box Connection to Power Center PCB
- Turn off all power to the power center.
- Mount the transceiver J-Box at least 6′ above the ground and 8′ from air blowers that may be nearby.
- The transceiver J-Box antenna must point towards the sky.
- Route the four conductor wire from J-Box through the Heyco ® fitting into the power center low voltage raceway.
- Open the door to the power center and remove the dead panel.
- Feed the four conductor wire into the power center through the low voltage raceway.
- Trim excess wire.
- Strip the cable jacket back 6″.
- Strip the individual wires ¼”.
- Connect the four conductor wire to the red terminal bar on the power center PCB.
- Install the dead panel to the power center.
- Restore all power.
3.2 Handheld Remote Installation
- Remove the handheld remote from the packaging.
- On the back of the handheld remote, remove two (2) screws that secure the cover for the battery enclosure.
- Install two (2) AA batteries. Ensure that the polarity is correct.

3.3 Changing the Frequency Channel
CAUTION
ESD Precautions – Electrostatic discharge (ESD) events can harm electronic
components inside your device. To prevent ESD damage, you should discharge
static electricity from your body before you interact with any of your devices
internal electronic components, such as a printed circuit board (PCB) or any
connection terminals. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage
from electrostatic discharge:
- When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
- When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
If your AquaLink handheld remote system is operating at undesignated times,
another nearby remote system may be using the same or similar channel. To
prevent unintended operation, the channel for your handheld remote system can
be changed. The handheld remote and the transceiver J-Box must be set to the
same RF channel. 
- On the handheld remote, press and hold both the UP and DOWN arrows simultaneously for three (3) seconds. The CHANNEL SETUP screen will appear.
- Use the UP and DOWN buttons to highlight the desired RF channel. Then press SELECT.
- When the RF channel is selected, the following message appears on the remote display screen: Set slide switch on J-Box PCB to the LEARN MODE.
- At the Transceiver J-Box, remove the cover to expose the PCB.
- Slide the learn switch to ON.
- On the handheld remote display screen, a prompt will read: Restore J-Box Slide Switch and Press J-Box Reset Button.
- Slide the learn switch inside the transceiver J-Box to OFF.
- Press the reset button inside the transceiver J-Box.
- When complete the red and green LEDs on the J-Box will blink simultaneously.
