ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Field connections must comply with national and local codes. The work must be done by a qualified
electrician.
Heater must be permanently grounded and bonded.
Bonding will drastically reduce the chances of electrolysis, “Electrical Corrosion.”
Use copper conductors only.
Disconnect all power sources before performing any work on unit.
Standard Power Supply: 230/60/1
See unit data plate for specific ampacity.
Wiring Main Power Supply
1.
Remove the screws from the plastic front panel, located on the control display side of the
unit.
2.
Remove the screws from the front panel of the control box.
3.
Route weather tight flexible conduit through the opening at the base of the unit. Connect
conduit to the bottom of the electrical control enclosure. A knockout is provided in the
bottom of the electrical control enclosure to accept either a ¾” or 1” fitting. Mounting conduit
directly to the electrical control enclosure will ensure a moisture tight seal, extending
the life of the heater.
4.
Attach grounding conductor to the ground lug provided inside the electrical control enclosure.
5.
Install L1 and L2 input conductors to the input lugs of the compressor contactor.
6.
Connect bond wire (at least #8 solid copper wire) from bond lug on the right side of coil header
plate to the pool pump bonding terminal or other suitable location.
