The Four Function Spa Side Remote is a double
insulated, submersible device which is ETL listed (to
UL Standard 1563) for installation at the water's edge.
It is typically installed at the tile-line of the spa wall, or
in the deck within arm's reach of the spa. It can be
used with a gunite spa, acrylic spa, or hot-tub.

When installing the Four Function Remote, it is
important to make provisions for this hard-wired
remote before the pool/spa construction is com-
plete by running electrical conduit from the desired
remote location to the future Power Center location.

Do not install the Four Function Remote until
construction of spa and deck is complete.

Installation Instructions for Concrete/Tile
Line

1. Install a 6" (minimum) piece of 1½" or 1" Schedule

40 PVC pipe in the pool/spa wall so that the Four
Function Remote will not be constantly sub­merged, see Figure 1. A 1½" to 1" Adapter is
included for use if 1½" PVC pipe is being used.
This pipe will house the remote installed vertically
in the wall of the pool or spa. Carefully trim the
end of the pipe flush with the wall after all tile work
is completed. There must be least 2" of clearance
from coping stones or other raised objects to the
Schedule 40 pipe.

2. Install a ½" or ¾" reducer to the bottom of the 6"

piece of pipe and run a ½" or ¾" electrical conduit
underground from the reducer to the future
AquaLink® RS Power Center location (see
AquaLink® RS Installation Manual for further
details on Power Center). Use sweep elbows (do
not use 90° elbows) for turns so that you can
easily pull the remote cable later .

3. Use a snake (or similar tool) to pull the Four

Function Remote cable through the conduit to the
Power Center.

4. At the Power Center, feed the remote cable into
the low voltage compartment (left-hand side). Strip
the cable jacket 4" and strip each wire ¼". Use the
P .C. Board W iring Diagram on the inside of the
Power Center door to locate the Four Function
Remote terminals. Wire the remote according to
the diagram.

5. At the Remote mounting location, press (do not
screw) the Four Function Remote into the PVC
pipe.

NOTE Do not alter the Four Function Remote housing.

Cutting the housing may damage its seal and
will void the warranty.

When replacing an old, threaded body style
remote with a new four function remote, place 1/8"
bead of silicone sealant around base of remote and
let cure. Add extra silicone sealant and install
remote into threaded adapter.

Installation Instructions for Spa Shell/Wood
Deck

1. Cut a 1" diameter hole in the spa shell or deck at
the mounting location that will be convenient to the
pool/spa owner, see Figure 2. The remote should
be installed within arm’ s reach of the water. This
hole will house the Four Function Remote.

2. Run a ½" or ¾" conduit underground from the spa
shell or deck to the Power Center. Use sweep
elbows for turns so that you can easily pull the
Four Function Remote cable through the conduit.

3. Feed a snake or similar tool from the Power
Center through conduit to the remote mounting
location. Feed the Four Function Remote cable
through the 1" hole in the deck or spa, and then
through the 1½" to 1" adapter. Remove the O­Ring from the remote, then push the remote
through the hole in the deck (see Fig. 2). Connect
the remote cable to the snake and use the snake to
pull the cable through the conduit to the Power
Center .

4. At the Power Center , feed the remote cable into
the low voltage compartment (left-hand side). Strip
the cable jacket 4" and strip each wire ¼". Use the
P .C. Board Wiring Diagram on the inside of the
Power Center door to locate the Four Function
Remote terminals. W ire the remote according to
the diagram.

NOTE The Terminal Bar , used for connecting the Four

Function Remote to the AquaLink RS Power
Center P.C. Board, is now included with the Four
Function Remote instead of with the Power
Center P .C. Board.

If this Terminal Bar is not included with your Four
Function Remote, contact your authorized
AquaLink RS distributor to obtain a new Four
Function Remote that includes the T erminal Bar .

If this is not possible, you can also obtain a
Remote Terminal Bar by contacting Jandy at
707-776-8200 ext. 260.

CAUTION

The position and location of the spa side
control should be selected to avoid a trip­ping hazard which can result in injury.
