Installation and
Operating Instructions
Please pass these instructions on to the operator of this equipment.
INSTALLATIONS INSTRUCTIONS — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
GENERAL
All the control system of the spa pack has to do is turn on the pump. The heater detects the water pressure change and operates accordingly.
INSTALLATION
Before planning any installation please note the following:
1. The heater power supply is not controlled by the spa control box.
2. Heaters up to 2.4kW are normally used for portable spa pools and thus the heater is provided with a 3 pin socket to permit the connection of a suitable control box directly to the heater without additional wiring.
3. It is strongly recommended that the supply of all spa installations be protected by an EARTH LEAKAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER [ELCB] [RCD] preferably tted at the switchboard.
4. All installations must comply with AS3000 and the special requirements of section 6 and any additional requirements of your local supply authority bylaws.
PHYSICAL LOCATION
The heater should be located in the spa system as follows:
1. On the pressure side of the pump.
2. Before the lter in the return line.
3. Where it is accessible for maintenance with enough clear room to remove control head from heater body.
4. In a vertical position, or if horizontal, so that the side port faces down.
5. It is recommended that the Classic Spa Heater water inlet is set to the higher port. If for installation reasons this is not possible, the lower port can be used for water inlet as the Classic Spa Heater inlet / outlet ports can be interchanged.
6. Level — denitely not plumbed at an angle.
7. Protected from rain, water splashes, hosing etc.
8. In an ambient temperature not exceeding 55°C.
Where the heater is being installed in a position exposed to the weather, splashing and the like, it must be protected by an additional enclosure having a degree of protection to IP24-AS1939.

WIRING
ALL FIXED ELECTRICAL WIRING MUST BE COMPLETED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.
1. Check the kilowatt rating of the heater. Ensure the correct size cable is being used.
2. The cable entry point is via one of three knockouts provided on the underside of the heater head. Use the correct size grommets and conduits when installing.
3. Check that wiring to terminal blocks is secured rmly and to the correct terminals.
PLUMBING
1. The heater body may be plumbed so the water ow can be in either direction.
The head of the heater may be turned to any of the four keyed directions (90°) to
give best access to the thermostat control.
2. When installing the heater head the ‘O’ ring must be carefully
located on the element carrier and NOT in the body. When tting
head make sure the ‘O’ ring doesn’t become dislodged and fall into the body. To assist assembly it is recommended that a light lubricant be used on the inside of the body barrel to help the components to slide together easily. REFER FIG.2 & 3.
3. When connecting pipework to heater make sure the ‘O’ rings are properly seated in the mac union tting. NB. Hand tighten only. Using tools will distort the ttings.
4. Make sure the heater is mounted on its stand or secured rmly so that vibration is minimised.
5. It is recommended that the pipework has shut off valves so the heater head can be removed for service without loss of water or downtime due to reheating.

TESTING (MUST BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL)
1. Double check that all plumbing is connected correctly and that the supply is available for heater and control box.
2. Before switch on check that gate valves (if tted) are open and the thermostat is turned fully anti clockwise.
3. The heater lid should be off for setting up pressure switch adjustment.
4. Apply a voltmeter, neon indicator or such test device at element terminal or control relay. If preferred, a current meter could be used.
5. Apply power. There should be no indication that the element is alive.
6. Start pump and check for water leaks, paying particular attention to the join between heating head and body.
7. After checking the system is free of plumbing problems, allowing sufcient time for all air to be purged, advance the thermostat setting to full on.
8. The test device should now indicate heating. Turning the thermostat control through its full range should switch test indicators on and off.
9. Leave the thermostat setting at the fully clockwise position so the test indicator is active and stop the pump. The indicator should switch off almost immediately.
If it fails to switch off restart pump quickly and adjust the screw on the pressure
switch clockwise until heating stops. Adjust back until heating restarts and then
one further full turn.
the heating is switching on and off consistent with the pump running.
REFER FIG 1.
N.B. If the heater is tted to a portable pool or the equipment is
mounted at about the same level as the pool water the pressure
switch will probably not require adjustment. CHECK IT ANYWAY. It the equipment is mounted nelow the level of the pool water
the static water pressure could be enough to hold the heating on after the pump stops. It is important for safety that this condition does not occur. FAILURE TO SET THE PRESSURE SWITCH CORRECTLY WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Stop/start pump several times until you are happy that
4
Turn the screw clockwise if the pressure holds heating element on. Turn anticlockwise if the pressure is insufcient to operate the heater. The above adjustments can only be done if the pool is below the thermostat setting.
The ‘O’ ring must be tted to the control head against the retaining edge before tting to heater body. Do not rely on locking ring to pull head and body together. Use downward pressure while tightening locking ring, making sure that locators engage correctly. Hand tighten only.
DO NOT assemble heater with ‘O’ ring as shown. This will dislodge when head and body are engaged causing water damage to the electronics. However, lightly lubricating the inside of this lip is permissible & will help assembly.
