Important Safety 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:

DANGER: 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.

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. 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.

WARNING: 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 people and people with history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

• People 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.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock – Install the control center at least ﬁve (5) feet (152.4cm) from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian installations must be at least three (3) meters from the water.

WARNING: Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death: Risk of electric shock – Disconnect all AC power when insatalling or servicing this system.

Safety 3

• 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.

• 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

• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.

• Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health.

• Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate

thermometer.

• Do nut 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 (1.5m) 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.

• Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be hazardous to your health.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the grounding terminal in the metal enclosure 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. In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8 AWG (4.115mm) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within ﬁve (5) feet (1.52m) of the tub.

WARNING: A ground-fault circuit-interrupter must be provided if this device is used to control underwater lighting ﬁxtures. The conductors on the load side of the ground-fault circuitinterrupter 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.

Additional Detail on Key Components

Handheld Controller (PPC-REM)

The main function of the Handheld Controller is to transmit user commands to the PPC-CON Receiving Device and/or Z-Wave home control devices, and to display the status of the installed equipment.

The unit ﬂoats if thrown in the pool or spa, is water-submersible, shock resistant, and requires three (3) AA batteries. Expected battery life is about one year in typical use.

When the components of a speciﬁc system are linked together into a network, unique network ID codes supplied by the PPC-REM prevent unauthorized use of the system by neighboring systems.

24-Volt Valve Actuator (PPC-ACT)

Designed with quality in mind, AutoPilot’s 24-volt valve actuators provide reliable control of 2-way and 3-way diverter valves for pool/ spa combinations and water features. The water ﬂow can be altered for speciﬁc applications through the adjustable cam, which rotates diverter valves to multiple degree settings. The cam settings can be easily adjusted by simply removing the lid. These valve actuators are compatible with all pool/spa valves currently offered in the industry and will retroﬁt into all pool/spa control systems.

One: System Overview 9

• 24VAC Input Voltage

• Automates compatible diverter valves for

pool/spa combos

• Adjustable cam rotates diverter valves to multiple degree settings

• Designed to operate most 2-way and 3-way diverter valves
