IMPORTANT WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using these Control Systems, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including those listed below:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. WARNING - Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized
access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the spa or pool to which this Control
System is connected unless they are closely supervised at all times.

2. DANGER - To reduce the risk of drowning from hair or body entrapment, assure that the suction fittings,
skimmers and main drains in the spa or pool connected to this Control System are approved for the
application.

3. DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings or main drain covers. Never operate
the spa or pool if these covers are broken or missing.

4. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:
A. The water in a spa to which the Control System is connected 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.

B. Since excessive water temperatures have 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).

C. Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer

since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices vary.

D. Prolonged immersion in water hotter than 104°F (40°C) may cause hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs

when the internal body temperature reaches a level several degrees above 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:

E. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
F. Leave the spa immediately if nausea, dizziness or headaches occur. Immediately cool the body by taking

a cool shower or by applying cold towels or ice packs. If the symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

G. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the

possibility of drowning.

H. 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.

I. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may

induce drowsiness or may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

5. Occasional users of the spa should be made aware of these important Safety Instructions.

6. WARNING - People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or pool.

7. WARNING - To avoid injury, exercise care when entering and exiting a spa or pool.

8. WARNING - Do not use a spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

9. CAUTION - Maintain water chemistry to provide safe bathing environment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unawareness of impending hazard.

2. Failure to perceive heat.

3. Failure to recognize the need to exit
the spa.

4. Physical inability to exit the spa.

5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.

6. Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of
drowning.

7. A terminal marked “GROUND” is provided within the Main Control Center enclosure. To reduce the risk of electrical

shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of the electric supply panel with a continuous green insulated
copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than #12 AWG.

8. A bonding wire connector is provided on the outside of the Main Control Center to accommodate the connection of

a min #8 AWG solid copper conductor (#6 AWG in Canada) between this unit and the local common bonding grid
in the spa and pool area. Additionally, any metal equipment, metal ladders, metal enclosure of electrical equipment,
metal water pipe, or conduit within 5' of the unit or within 5' of the pool (3 meters in Canada) must be connected to
the bonding wire connector.

9. The electrical supply circuit connected to the Main Control Center must be equipped with a suitably rated

disconnect device - a circuit breaker, a GFCI circuit breaker, switch or other device capable of opening all
ungrounded conductors in the supply circuit. This disconnect must be installed at least 5' from the pool or spa, but
be within sight of and readily accessible to the user.

10. This Control System is intended to supply the high voltage (120-240 vac) to a gas heater, and is intended to

override the thermostat in the control circuit of all the heaters. This Control System is intended to control gas
heaters that provide a safety circuit that include high temperature limit switch(s).

11. A suitably rated circuit breaker or a GFCI circuit breaker, must be installed in the electrical supply circuit connected

to the main control center. This circuit breaker may also provide the disconnect function referenced in item 9 if it
meets the sight and accessibility criteria.

12. This control system is provided with an Integral Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter for the underwater lighting circuit. It

is located on the right side of the control enclosure under a Weather-Tite cover.
This GFCI must be tested before each use of the pool or spa. To test the GFCI, follow the following steps:

1. Turn on the underwater pool lighting circuit.

2. Press the ‘RESET’ button fully.

3. Check the underwater lights to be sure they are illuminated.

4. Press the ‘TEST’ button in order to trip the GFCI. The ‘RESET’ button will pop out and the underwater lights
will go out.

PH/ORP OPTION

CALIBRATION

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

1. Test the pool water with a test kit (pH 7.2-7.8; Orp 500-750mV)

2. If the ph/Orp sensors readings are not correct, use a small flat head screwdriver to adjust the potentiometer
(R11) on the pH circuit board. Very slowly adjust the potentiometer until the display on the panel shows the
correct reading.

Note: Wait until the display reads a constant correct setting before moving to next step.

3. Calibration is completed.

4. The display on the panel will show the actual pH reading in the spa. Add any necessary chemicals to insure that
the pH sensor reading remains between 7.2 and 7.8 pH.

5. Requirement: Use a test kit no less than once a month to verify calibration and optimal Orp reading.

Note: ORP readings are affected by the following factors: water temperature, total dissolved solids,
cyanuric acid, and alkalinity.

INSTALLATION

1. Splice in a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 1/2" or 2" x 2" x 1/2" reducer tee (depending upon size of pipe configuration).
Position the 1/2” female pipe thread on the tee at approximately 45°.

2. Press the two stand-offs into the digital control board.

3. Remove the pH jumper from the 4-pin connector (J20 for circuit board #25500 or J11 for circuit board #25501) on
the control board.

4. Install the pH board onto the control board. Important! The pH board must be installed component side up.
Make sure that J20 or J11 and the two stand-offs snap fit into the pH board.

Note: All sensors are shipped with the measuring end covered with a wetting cap.

5. Remove the wetting cap by twisting it counter-clockwise and gently easing it off. It is recommended that this cap
be retained for future long-term storage and winterization.

Note: Hand tighten sensors in place. Do not use a wrench to install the sensor as this could cause breakage.
Use a wrench to remove the sensor only if unable to do so by hand.

6. Install the pH sensor into the 1/2" NPT tee by turning the sensor clockwise. Hand tighten only.

7. Feed the BNC connector (from the outside of the control box) through a hole on the bottom LEFT side of the box
for a horizontally-mounted system. Pass the BNC connector through a hole on the bottom RIGHT side of the
control box for a vertically-mounted system.

8. Connect the BNC connector to the pH board. First align it with its mated connector, then press them together
and then twist to lock them into place.

9. Turn the system power on.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

UNPACKING

Remove the electrode from its package and check that it is undamaged. If damaged, contact your supplier for
replacement. Most electrodes are rugged in design, but some are fragile. Care should be taken when unpacking
and handling all electrodes.

PREPARATIONS FOR USE

All electrodes are shipped with a wetting cap covering the measuring end. This cap contains a solution of pH 4
buffer saturated with potassium chloride for single-junction combination electrodes, and solution of potassium nitrate
in pH 4 buffer for double-junction electrodes. Mono-measuring electrodes, pH and ORP, are shipped in pH 4 buffer.

Gently remove the wetting cap from the electrode by unscrewing the bottle form the cap and then sliding the cap
and o-ring off of the electrode body. Save the cap for future long-term storage. Some electrodes are shipped with
slide-on caps sealed with teflon tape, these caps are simply pulled off.

During shipping, the air space inside the pH glass internal may have moved into the bulb. Grasp the electrode near
the cable end and gently swing it through an arc to force the internal electrolyte into the pH bulb.

ELECTRODE CLEANING

Slow response and large offsets may indicate the electrode has become coated. The nature of the coating will
dictate the type of cleaning technique that should be used.

Soft coatings, like foodstuffs or bacterial films are best removed using a squirt bottle or the water jet from a faucet. If
this is not successful, then wiping with a soft, wet cloth is the best choice.

Hard coatings, like calcium or lime scale are best removed with a solvent appropriate for the particular coating. A
5% solution of HCI would be a good choice for the calcium scale. If unsure of the proper solvent to remove a hard
mineral coating, alternate between a 5% HCI and a 4% NaOH for 10 minutes each. After treating the electrode with
these strong acids or bases, rinse the electrode with water and soak it in pH 4 buffer for at least 1/2 hour.

Greasy and oil coatings are best removed with a detergent solution or a solvent that will not attack the electrodes
body. Methanol and isopropyl alcohol are good choices for solvents. Acetone, MEK, THF, or trichloroethane will
irreparably harm the electrode. A soft toothbrush can be used with the detergent in removing stubborn coatings.

The platinum or gold sensing tip of an ORP electrode should be cleaned just like a pH electrode. The surface can
also be cleaned with an abrasive as a last resort. Gently scour the platinum with a 600 grit wet emery cloth or
preferably a 1-3 micron alumina polishing powder.

Important: Good laboratory practices should be used and protective gloves and safety glasses should be worn while
handling any solvents or chemicals. If you are unsure of the proper technique for handling a chemical or of its
hazardous properties, it is best to discard the electrode, eliminating the risk of danger.

INTERPRETING PH/ORP READINGS

1. To check the measured pH and/or ORP readings, run the filter pump for at least 5 minutes. Press the DOWN
arrow button on the master panel until the desired reading is displayed. The DOWN button will toggle the display
through the available chemical sensor readings.

2. Adjust water chemistry as close to these suggested readings as possible:

Alkalinity: 100 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 500 ppm
PH: 7.2 - 7.8

3. Once water chemistry has been adjusted as per #1, note ORP reading (mV). This reading can be used to
indicate proper water chemistry in your installation. If the ORP reading changes dramatically, adjust the water
chemistry accordingly.

4. Millivolt reading should fall between 500-750 mV.

5. If ORP reading falls outside of suggested range, adjust water chemistry accordingly.

Note: ORP readings are affected by the following factors: water temperature, total dissolved solids,
cyanuric acid, and alkalinity.

WINTERIZATION

1. Disconnect the sensor connector from the PCB board located in the power center.

2. Carefully remove the sensors from the plumbing.

3. Reinsert the electrode into the wetting cap and fill cap with pool water.

4. Store at room temperature.

5. When reinstalling the probe, refer back to the Preparation for Use section of the Care and Maintenance
instructions.

TYPICAL PLUMBING SCHEMATIC

1. Reverse the polarity of
the wiring to the valve
diverter motor that is out
of synchronization. The
best way to accomplish
this is to reverse the red
and white wires inside
the valve diverter motor
enclosure.

2. Remove the motor
enclosure cover, remove
the wire nuts, switch
the red and white wires,
reconnect the wires
with wire nuts, and
reinstall cover.

BASIC POOL/SPA PLUMBING:
These schematics show the
necessary plumbing required
to operate a pool and a spa
that share common pumps,
filters, and heaters. The
Motorized Diverter Valves
will change position when spa
use is desired.

IMPORTANT:
Be sure the valves are
synchronized to move
simultaneously from pool
suction and pool return to
the spa suction and spa
return. If they are not
synchronized, please follow
the instructions below:

NOTE:

The polarity of the wiring to
the valve motor that is out of
synchronization can also be
reversed by changing the
position of the toggle switch
to the reverse position.

If you select this method to
reverse polarity, be sure to
change the sticker at the rear
of the motor enclosure from
the black (Auto-Off-Reverse)
sticker to the white (Reverse­Off- Auto) sticker.

You must change the sticker
so that users and service
personnel know the correct
auto position for the valve.

INSTALLING TEMPERATURE SENSORS

ATTENTION: The air temperature sensor is 10’ long and the water

temperature sensor is 25’ long. Consider the sensor mounting locations
BEFORE mounting the Main Control Center.

TO INSTALL THE WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR

1. ATTENTION: Before connecting the temperature sensor wire to the
Main Control Center circuit board, the sensor wire must be inserted
through the sensor retaining nut. Insert the sensor wire through the
nut and slide the nut to a position adjacent to the sensing bulb.

2. Locate the Water Temperature Sensor in the discharge (pressure)
line of the filter pump as shown in the Basic Plumbing Schematic.
Drill a .390" (25/64") hole in the pipe and install the sensor mount
on the pipe by tightening the sensor mount clamp.

3. Install the O-ring onto the water temperature sensor. Slide the O­ring onto the water temperature sensor so that it is positioned
against the plastic flange on the water temperature sensor. With
the retaining nut and O-ring installed on the water temperature
sensor, insert the water temperature sensor into the sensor mount
and tighten the nut, hand tight only. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

FREEZE PROTECTION FEATURE

ONLY ACTIVE WHEN VALVES ARE IN POOL MODE

When the system senses air temperature of 35°F or lower, the valves
will turn to Pool and the filter pump, Aux 1, Aux 3, and Aux 5 will turn
on for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, these devices will turn off, and the
valves will turn to Spa. At that time the Spa Aux, Filter Pump and
Blower will run for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes the system will again
turn off and the valves will turn to Pool again. The cycle will repeat if
the system still senses air temperature of 35°F or lower.

Note: This feature is designed to protect the pool equipment in
the event of unforeseen or unseasonal freezing conditions. It is
not intended to take the place of proper winterizing procedures.
Freeze protection disabled in Spa Mode.

TO INSTALL THE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

OUTSIDE BUILDING LOCATION OPTION

1. Locate the Air Temperature Sensor so that it will be exposed to the
outside ambient temperature.

2. If the Main Control Center is installed inside a building and is
adjacent to heat generating devices such as heaters and pumps,
route the Air Temperature Sensor Cable through the wall of the
building securing the cable neatly and then secure the Air
Temperature Sensor with the clip and screw provided. Avoid
attaching the Air Temperature Sensor to any surface that will get
hotter than the ambient air temperature.

MAIN CONTROL CENTER LOCATION OPTION

3. If the Main Control Center is not installed in a building and there is
no benefit to installing the air sensor remotely, position the sensor
in a Liquid-Tite connector installed in one of the knock outs
beneath the low voltage raceways as shown in illustration.

CONTROL CENTER

The Main Control Center should be located as close as possible to the pumps, heater, valves, and sensors that are
required to be connected to it. Preferably, the system should mount inside a pool equipment house or other
enclosure. However, the system can be mounted outside. It should mount on a flat vertical wall and be positioned
so that the conduit knockouts are located at the bottom of the enclosure. Remember to consider the length of the
wires & valve wires when selecting the final location.

ATTENTION: POSITIONING THE ENCLOSURE WITH THE CONDUIT KNOCKOUTS
LOCATED AT THE SIDE OR THE TOP OF THE ENCLOSURE MAY ALLOW WATER TO
ENTER THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM AND/OR CREATE AN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.

Be sure that the system and all other electrical components are at least 5' from the edge of the pool or spa. When
selecting the mounting position, plan how the 1" rigid PVC conduit carrying the power to the Main Control Center
will be routed. Also plan for the routing of the flexible conduit that will be run to the pumps and heater. You should
also keep in mind that the cable length on the Air Temperature Sensor is 10’ long and the Water Temperature
Sensor is 25’ long. They must reach connector receptacles located inside the system. Additionally, the location
selected should provide clear access in front of the system to permit the owner or service personnel to stand in
front of the Main Control Center unobstructed by other equipment.

ATTENTION: BE SURE THE LOCATION CHOSEN FOR THE MAIN CONTROL CENTER
ALLOWS UNOBSTRUCTED ACCESS TO THE GFCI PROTECTING THE UNDERWATER
LIGHT CIRCUIT.

INSTALLATION:

After the location has been selected follow these easy steps to mount the Main Control Center:

1. If the mounting substrate will allow, mount the Main Control
Center by driving mounting screws through the holes
provided in the back of the enclosure and into the wall. If
wall anchors must be used, hold the Main Control Center
enclosure in position and mark the hole pattern on the wall.
Drill and set the anchors; fasten the enclosure with screws.
Be sure to position the Main Control Center level and
square for a neat installation.

2. Run electrical PVC conduit from the Power Supply Panel to
the Main Control Center. Determine the number of conduit
runs and the size of the conduit needed for the installation
based on the wire size being run, the number of conductors
within the conduit, and the number of circuits needed.
Typically, if the Main Power Panel is 100' or less from the
Main Control Center the 50A max. breaker will require
4- #6 AWG conductors, one each of red, black, white and
green. These conductors will require a 1" conduit run.
(The enclosure has been provided with 1" conduit
knockouts that are adjacent to the line terminals in the
Main Control Center.)

A. If the installation requires the use of additional circuits or an Expander Circuit Board is being used, you may elect to

run separate conduit runs for each expander circuit, or you may elect to run the expander circuit in a common
conduit, or you may elect to run it inside the 1" conduit with the 50A max. circuit. If the runs are 100' or less in
length the expander circuit board will require 3- #12 AWG conductors. If the loads on this circuit are 240 vac, the
colors of the conductors should be red, black and green. If the loads on this circuit are 120 vac, the colors should
be black, white, and green. These wires can be run in 1/2" or 3/4" conduit. Be sure to follow all codes in effect
regarding the number and size of conductors that can be installed in various sizes of conduit.

B. GFCI RECOMMENDATIONS

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is recommended to be
installed in the electrical supply circuit connected to these products.
GFCI’s are ultrasensitive switching devices, providing the ultimate in
safety. The most common style of GFCI also provides high-current
protection as a circuit breaker, and may be required by code in
certain installations. Breaker must be sized in accordance with
applicable code.

A 50A max GFCI circuit breaker is the best method to obtain complete
system protection. An additional enclosure containing the 50A max
GFCI may need to be installed between the main power supply
(50A max breaker) and the pool control. This must be done in cases
where a 50A max GFCI circuit breaker cannot be found to fit the
existing electrical service. Additionally, it can meet the requirements of
a local disconnect if it is located properly.

SEE IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. PAGE 3

C. The Expander Circuit Board will require separate circuits for each relay

and consequently 2- 20A circuit breakers, single pole for 120V or
double pole for 240V. For a 120 vac circuit, use 3- #12 AWG
conductors; one each of black, white, and green. For a 240 vac circuit,
use 3- #12 AWG conductors; one each of red, black, and green. These
wires can be run in 1/2" or 3/4" conduit. The enclosure has been
provided with 1/2" or 3/4", and 1" conduit knockouts that are adjacent to
the line terminals in the Main Control Center.

D. If the conduit run is long or has numerous bends, use watertight pulling

fittings positioned in the middle of the run. If this is necessary, it is
advisable to elevate the pulling fitting at least 6" above finished grade of
the surrounding area to avoid potential flooding. Remember to complete
the installation of the conduit before concrete is poured that might
obstruct a direct route from the Power Supply Panel to the Main Control
Center. Be sure that underground conduit is positioned in well
compacted soil. Also use care when making the glue joint to be sure
they are watertight.

3. Pull the required conductors as outlined in #2 above and
connect the power supply conductors to the line terminals of the
Main Control Center, and if required to the line terminals at the
Expander Circuit Board.

4. DO NOT HOOK UP THE CONDUCTORS TO THE POWER

SUPPLY PANEL UNTIL ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR
ALL LOADS (MOTORIZED VALVES, HEATER, PUMPS, LIGHTS,
ETC.) HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. This will assure that all conductors

are not energized while completing the installation.

NOTE: All of the electrical wiring methods and materials used to complete

the electrical installation of the Pool/Spa Control System must be
in accordance with the National Electrical Code or the Canadian
Electric Code, as well as any local electrical codes in effect at the
time of installation.

The selection of electrical materials required to accomplish this
installation and the installation of the Hayward Pool Control System
must be accomplished by, or be under the direct supervision of a
qualified electrician.

LOCATING AND INSTALLING THE MASTER CONTROL PANEL

For maximum convenience the Master Control Panel should be installed inside the home of the user.
However, it can be installed outside if desired. It must be mounted on a vertical surface such as a wall and be
located at eye level for the user. While choosing the location, plan for the routing of the control cable from the
Main Control Center to the Master Control Panel.

TO INSTALL:

1. If the pool and spa equipment room housing the Main Control Center is attached to the main dwelling where
the Master Panel will be located, simply route the cable through attics and hollow walls securing the cable as
needed for a neat installation. Store excess cable in the attic or between walls.

2. If the pool and spa equipment room housing the Main Control Center is in a separate building from the main
dwelling where the Master Control Panel will be located, 1/2" or 3/4" conduit should be installed from the Main
Control Center conduit knockouts entering the low voltage compartment and extend at the other end of the
conduit to a point within the main dwelling. Route the cable through the conduit, and through attics and hollow
walls, securing the cable as needed for a neat installation. Store excess cable in the attic or between walls.

3. Next, drill a hole in the hollow wall at a location that will permit the cable to extend through the wall directly
behind the Master Panel. Pull the cable through the hole storing any excess cable in the attic or inside the
hollow wall. Install hollow wall anchors as needed on the Master Control Panel vertical centerline and 3" apart.
Install pan head screws into the anchors and adjust them so that the Master Control Panel rests snugly
against the wall when it is installed on the screws. Plug the control cable into the receptacle at the rear of the
panel and install on the wall anchor screws.

4. If the Master Control Panel is mounted outside, be sure to route the control cable so that it approaches the
panel from the bottom and enters below the panel vertically. Secure the cable to the wall to maintain this cable
orientation. This will prevent water from running down the cable connectors and into the Master Control Panel.

5. An Additional Master Control Panel can be added to the system by connecting a 2-1 cable connector to the
end of the cable coming from the Main Control Center. This provides 2 outputs for 2 Master Control Panels.
Connector cables are then run between the 2-1 cable connector and the Master Control Panels. The additional
Master Control Panels will perform the same functions and all panels will indicate system status
simultaneously. Master Control Panels and connecting cables are available as an option.

ATTENTION: IF A CABLE IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO REACH FROM THE MASTER PANEL TO THE
MAIN CONTROL CENTER, DO NOT ADD LENGTH TO THE CABLE BY SPLICING ADDITIONAL CABLE
ONTO THE CABLE; OBTAIN A CABLE THAT IS LONG ENOUGH TO REACH. A CABLE THAT IS TOO
LONG MAY BE SHORTENED BY CUTTING OFF THE EXCESS AND REINSTALLING A NEW
CONNECTOR AT THE DESIRED LENGTH.

Under ideal conditions, the Hayward RF Spa Remote Kit allows a user to position the spa remote controller
anywhere within 100 ft. of the Main Control Center without a hard-wired connection. The range for an
improperly installed unit can be as low as 25 ft.

Certain physical or architectural structures may interfere with the performance of the unit, so
care must be given to the installation (See instructions on page 27). While a hard-wired
Master Panel can be installed outdoors, the RF Master Panel is not suitable for outdoor
installation and should be stored indoors when not in use.

WARNING: ALL POWER MUST BE SHUT OFF
BEFORE INSTALLATION. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
WORK INSIDE THE HAYWARD POOL SYSTEM
CONTROL WITH ANY LIVE ELECTRICAL PARTS.

Begin the installation by turning off the main
power (50 Amp Max) to the Hayward Pool
System Control at the house breaker box.
If there is an expander board installed
(Aux 5 and/or spa blower), turn off the
power to the two individual circuits
(20 Amp Max each) that may be
installed to the expander board.

INST

ALL HAYWARD RF MASTER

RECEIVER AND CONNECT IT T

O THE

MAIN CONTROL CENTER:

Once all power has been shut off to the
control, open the door on the Control
System enclosure. If there is a wired
connection for a Master Panel installed on
the circuit board, disconnect it from the board and coil it near the bottom of the low voltage raceway through which
it enters the central area of the enclosure (probably the left side). If the control supports a spa, do not disconnect
the spa control panel cable at this time.

NOTE: The Master Panel MUST be RF ready to be compatible with the RF Kit. You may, however, hard wire an
RF-ready panel if you choose. If you are not sure that you have an RF-ready panel, note the serial number on
the label located on the bottom of the panel and call your Hayward service center for verification.

Next, feed the wire from the RF Master Panel receiver module through an appropriate knockout in the bottom of
the main control center. You should choose from the knockouts below the low voltage raceways for this purpose.
Continue to feed the cord that is attached to the RF Master Panel module through the hole in the raceway barrier
and over to the main circuit board. Plug it into an available phone-type socket on the top of the board. If there was
a hard-wired master panel installed, as mentioned above, use the same socket for the new RF connection.

If you would like to use a hard-wired panel and an RF panel, install an optional 2-1 cable connector inside the
system enclosure. This will allow connection of the hard-wired Master Panel cable and the RF Master Panel
receiver cable. This installation is similar to instruction 5 on page 23.

Mount the Receiver Module in a convenient location that maximizes the range of the RF Master Panel. (See
instructions on page 27.)

INST

ALL HAYWARD RF SPA RECEIVER AND CONNECT IT TO THE MAIN CONTROL CENTER:

Under ideal conditions, the Hayward RF Spa Remote Kit allows a user to position the spa remote controller
anywhere within 100 ft of the Main Control Center without a hard-wired connection.

Follow the same procedures to mount the RF Spa Control Receiver Module. (See instructions on page 27.) With
an optional extended cable, the effective range of the RF components can also be enhanced.

This completes the installation in the system box. Secure the Control System door and power up the System.

NOTE: Make sure RF Circuit Board connection is separate from the hard-wired connection;
use 2 to 1 connector as needed.

INSTALLING OPTIONAL RF PANELS (continued)

Installing RF Panels to Optimize Range:

1. Position both receivers away from any cables (such as power lines, extension cords, cable lines, and
phone lines).

2. Mount far away from large metallic objects (such as fences, aluminum siding, metal piping, and rain gutters).

3. Be sure there are no metal objects between the spa receiver and the spa.

4. Position the receiver so that the antenna is pointing upwards, perpendicular to the ground.

5. Position as high off the ground as possible:

When using both receivers, place the spa unit as high off the ground as possible while placing the master panel
unit lower and at least 5-6 feet to one side.

When only using one receiver, place it as high as possible.

Make sure the master panel system gives you the proper range before mounting it permanently.
The closer it is mounted to the ground, the less range it will have.

While the master panel tends to be stationary and more predictable, the spa transmitter moves around and
should receive the highest mounting position possible.

6. IMPORTANT: Line of sight between the receiver and the spa provides the best range.

CAUTION: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION.

7. CAUTION: With all above noted tips in mind, experiment by placing receiver(s) in different places to find the best
range before permanently mounting the receiver(s) to the wall.

SETTING DIP SWITCH IN CASE OF 2 HA

YWARD POOL SYSTEM CONTROLS INSTALLED NEAR ONE ANOTHER:

Note: There are DIP switches on the circuit board,
inside the Receiver Modules, that are always
shipped in the OPEN position. In the event that two
Hayward wireless control systems are installed near
one another, these switches can be used to create a
unique "code" that your control will communicate
under. This will minimize the possibility of any
"crosstalk" between systems.

IMPORTANT: THE SWITCHES MUST BE SET THE
SAME WAY IN BOTH THE RECEIVER MODULE AND
THE MASTER PANEL RF CRADLE.

INST

ALL RF MASTER PANEL CRADLE:

The RF Master Panel Cradle is battery operated and is
ready to operate once the existing "RF-ready" Master Panel is
installed in it. The unit is supplied with the internal DIP switches set to OPEN so it is compatible with
the RF board described above. The RF Master Panel will turn on when either the Up or Down button
is pressed once. When it is on, it should behave just as if it were hard-wired. If a button is not pressed
for 3 minutes, the panel will "sleep" to preserve battery life.

USING A TRANSFORMER FOR RF MASTER P

ANEL CRADLE:

A plug-in transformer option is available that allows the panel to be "awake" at all times and display pool functions
without the need to activate the panel first. The plug in connector for the transformer can be used by removing the
battery cover and plugging the transformer wire into the circuit board and then routing the wire out of the battery
compartment through an upper or lower opening.

INST

ALL RF MASTER PANEL INTO CRADLE:

To install an RF-ready Master Panel in the RF Cradle, first turn the Master Panel over and remove the upper right
and lower left screws that are obvious on the back of the panel. These screws will be replaced by the longer screws
included with the RF Cradle. Plug the phone-type wire from the RF Cradle into the Master Panel. Carefully lay the
Master Panel into the RF Cradle and install the new, longer screws through the RF Cradle and into the Master
Panel, being careful not to overtighten.

INST

ALL BATTERY INTO CRADLE:

Open the battery compartment by removing the cover screws and tilting the door away from the RF Cradle. Install 4
AA batteries in the battery holder and plug the battery holder into the circuit board. (At this time, the optional
transformer can be installed if desired, in which case batteries are not required.) The installation is now complete.
The antenna is able to rotate on the side of the RF Cradle and should be in a vertical orientation when the panel is
in use.

MOUNT RF MASTER CONTROLLER (CRADLE WITH MASTER P

ANEL) ON WALL:

If you intend to mount the RF panel on a wall, mark the locations of the mounting holes BEFORE the Master Panel
is installed in the Cradle. You may wish to choose a location close to a wall outlet so that the optional wall
transformer can be used to power the unit.

TO INSTALL SPA SIDE CONTROL PANEL:

1. DETERMINE THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE PANEL.

The Panel can be located on the deck next to the spa or on a vertical wall of the spa.
Important: Position the Panel so that it can not be submerged. Occasional splashing is permissible so long as
the water can drain off the Panel. While the Panel is designed to get wet, constant water contact must be
avoided.

2. PROVIDE AN UNOBSTRUCTED FLAT SURFACE

Be sure the location selected provides an unobstructed flat surface that is at least 4" high X 8" wide upon which
the Panel can be mounted. The 1' conduit that receives the Panel will protrude from the middle of the area.

This provision needs to be deliberately planned during the placement of the concrete/gunite and during the
installation of tile and coping stone, etc. This is the area required on the final finished surface for mounting
the Panel.

3. PROVIDE A 1" CONDUIT.

Provide a 1" conduit through the concrete/gunite at the location selected for the Panel. The Panel will extend
into the inside diameter of the conduit and the cable will be routed through it.

A. FOR INSTALLATIONS THROUGH A VERTICAL WALL:

Before concrete/gunite is placed, securely fasten the 1" conduit so that it will remain in position during the

placement of the concrete/gunite. The conduit should be long enough to extend at least 6" beyond the
finished inside surface and 6" beyond the rough outside surface of the concrete/gunite. This will allow the
conduit to be cut flush with the final finished surface on the inside and extend beyond the rough outside
surface.

Important: The 1" conduit must be positioned and adequately fastened so that it will be

perpendicular both horizontally and vertically to the finished surface. This is extremely important
for a successful installation of the Panel. Additional conduit will be added to the 1" stub-out to
reach the Main Control Center.

B. FOR INSTALLATIONS THROUGH A DECK:

Before concrete is placed, glue together enough conduit to extend from the Panel location to the edge of
the pour. Install a sweep 90 degree elbow at the Panel end of the conduit. To the elbow, install a reducing
bushing and a 1" coupling to adapt to 1" conduit. Install at least 12" of 1" conduit to the 1" coupling.
Position the conduit assembly in a trench so that the 1" conduit extends vertically and so that there is at
least 8" of 1" conduit below the finish grade of the concrete. Important: Secure the 1" conduit so that it is
perpendicular to the finish grade of the concrete and remains in that position during the placement of the
concrete. This is extremely important for a successful installation of the Panel. Fill and compact the trench
to help hold the conduit in place. After the concrete has been placed and all finishing operations have been
completed, the 1" conduit will be cut flush with the final finished surface.

ATTENTION: IF THE CABLE ON THE SPA PANEL IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO REACH THE MAIN CONTROL
CENTER, DO NOT ADD LENGTH TO THE CABLE BY SPLICING ADDITIONAL CABLE ONTO THE CABLE;
OBTAIN A SPA PANEL WITH A CABLE THAT IS LONG ENOUGH TO REACH. A CABLE THAT IS TOO LONG
MAY BE SHORTENED BY CUTTING OFF THE EXCESS AND RE-INSTALLING A NEW CONNECTOR AT THE
DESIRED LENGTH.

LOCATION GUIDELINES: The Spa-Side Control Panel hereafter referred to as the “Panel" should be installed

during the initial pool/spa construction. This will allow for important steps to be completed before the concrete or
gunite is placed. The specific Panel location needs to be determined and planned for and the PVC conduit along
with any pulling elbow or junction boxes as required to route the Panel cable to the Main Control Center needs to be
in place. If the Panel is installed after the pool/spa construction has been completed, the installation must fulfill the
intent of these instructions.

2. CAUTION: ANTICIPATE WHAT THE WATER LEVEL WILL BE WHEN PLANNING INSTALLATION

Water level can rise by as much as 6 inches, depending upon the size and shape of the spa, as well as the number
of people in the spa at any given time.

The Panel can be located on the deck next to the spa or on a vertical wall of the spa. Provide an unobstructed flat
surface that is at least 4" high X 8" wide upon which the Panel can be mounted. The 1" conduit that receives the
Panel will protrude from the middle of this area.

Remember: The water level in a spill-over type spa will depend upon which direction the valves are facing.

3. PROVIDE A 1" CONDUIT

Provide a 1" conduit through the concrete/gunite at the location selected for the Panel. The Panel will extend into the
inside diameter of the conduit and the cable will be routed through it. (See detailed installation instructions on page
27 of the Hayward 2100 Series Pool System Control Installation and Programming Instructions.)

ATTENTION: If the cable
on the spa panel is not long
enough to reach the Main
Control Center, do not add
length to the cable by
splicing additional cable
onto the cable; obtain a spa
panel with a cable that is
long enough to reach. A
cable that is too long may
be shortened by cutting off
the excess and re-installing
a new connector at the
desired length.

LOCATING AND INSTALLING THE SPA SIDE CONTROL PANEL (continued)

4. COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION OF THE CONDUIT.

A. Before additional concrete is placed over the route of the conduit to the Main Control Center, complete the

installation of the conduit.

B. Be sure that all underground conduit is positioned in well compacted soil below the concrete. Also use care

when making the glue joints to be sure that they are watertight. Additionally, do not use more than two 90
degree sweeps in a single pull. Doing so may make pulling the cable difficult.

C. For long conduit runs (over 100') it may be advisable to use a watertight pulling fitting positioned in the middle of

the conduit run. If this is necessary, it is advisable to elevate the pulling fitting at least 6" above the finish grade
from the surrounding area to avoid potential flooding. Important: Do not cut the cable at the pulling fitting. Use
the pulling fitting as an intermediate pulling point only.

5. CUT THE EXCESS 1" CONDUIT FLUSH WITH THE FINAL FINISHED SURFACE.

After all finish work has been completed (plaster, tile, coping stone, deck finished, etc.), cut the 1" conduit flush with

the finished surface. Sawing the conduit will not produce a flush surface, so grind, sand, or file as necessary. After
cutting flush, deburr the inside diameter of the conduit.

6. PULL THE PANEL CABLE THROUGH THE CONDUIT.

An electrician's wire pulling snake is required for this job. For long pulls, wire lubricant is also a great aid.

Push the snake from the Main Control Center to the Panel location. After the snake has exited the conduit at the

Panel location, fasten the cable to the snake.

TAKE CARE TO PROTECT THE CABLE CONNECTOR FROM DAMAGE WHILE PULLING THE CABLE.

With one person pulling the cable and one person at the Panel location assuring that no kinks or knots occur, pull

the cable through the conduit and into the low voltage compartment of the Main Control Center. Neatly coil any
extra cable and store in the low voltage compartment. Route the cable to the top of the printed circuit board to be
sure there is enough cable to install the phone connector into J20.

ATTENTION: IF THE CABLE ON THE SPA PANEL IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO REACH TO THE MAIN
CONTROL CENTER, DO NOT ADD LENGTH TO THE CABLE BY SPLICING ADDITIONAL CABLE
ONTO THE CABLE; OBTAIN SPA PANEL WITH A CABLE THAT IS LONG ENOUGH TO REACH. A
CABLE THAT IS TOO LONG MAY BE SHORTENED BY CUTTING OFF THE EXCESS AND
REINSTALLING A NEW CONNECTOR AT THE DESIRED LENGTH. TOOLS AND CONNECTORS FOR
THIS PURPOSE ARE READILY AVAILABLE IN MOST HOME CENTERS.

IMPORTANT: WHEN PULLING THE PANEL CABLE THROUGH THE CONDUIT ALWAYS LEAVE
6" TO 8" OF EXCESS CABLE AT THE PANEL END. THE EXCESS CABLE IS THEN PUSHED
INTO THE 1" CONDUIT AS THE PANEL IS INSTALLED. THIS ALLOWS THE SPA PANEL TO BE
REMOVED FROM THE SPA WALL OR DECK FAR ENOUGH TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE CABLE
SO THAT IT CAN BE GRASPED AND PULLED FROM THE CONDUIT SHOULD THE PANEL
NEED TO BE REMOVED. IMPORTANT: WHEN REMOVING THE PANEL, DO NOT PULL ON THE
PANEL TO PULL THE CABLE OUT OF THE CONDUIT. ALWAYS PULL ON THE CABLE ITSELF.

7. MAKE THE FINAL CONNECTION

Route the cable through the low voltage compartment and to the top of the printed circuit board of the Main
Control Center. Push the connector on the end of the cable into the receptacle labeled J-20.

8. MOUNT THE PANEL.

Dry fit the Panel against the mounting surface to be sure there are no high points that need to be removed.
Clean the mating surfaces and then apply a bead of silicone adhesive. Remove the masking from the
double sided adhesive strips. Carefully push the extra 6" to 8" of cable into the conduit as you position the
Panel. Seat the Panel into the silicone, being sure it is level or square or parallel with surrounding surfaces.
Peel backing off adhesive strips. Push the Panel firmly against the mounting surface so that the adhesive
strips grasp firmly to the mounting surface. The adhesive strips will hold the Panel in position while the
silicone cures.

CONNECTING HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS TO THE MAIN CONTROL CENTER

HEATER CONNECTION GUIDELINES

ATTENTION: THE MAIN CONTROL CENTER PROVIDES A MEANS FOR CONTROLLING HEATERS
THAT UTILIZE MILLIVOLT CONTROL SYSTEMS AS WELL AS 24V CONTROL SYSTEMS. THE
HEATER MUST BE WIRED PROPERLY TO MATCH THE HEATER CONTROL SYSTEM AND BE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH HEATER MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE POWER-UP.

CONNECTING HEATER WITH MILLIVOLT CONTROL SYSTEM

NOTE:DO NOT CONNECT MILLIVOLT CONTROL CIRCUITS TO HIGH VOLTAGE. DOING SO WILL
DAMAGE THE HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT.

1. Follow the directions below to connect the control system for a Millivolt Heater in series with a relay that is located
on the Main Control Center printed circuit board. This relay is controlled by the temperature sensing circuit on the
board and will close when heating is required. It will not provide output voltage.

2. Using #22 AWG (2 conductor, sheathed cable or cable as directed by the heater manufacturer) interrupt the
control circuit in the heater and connect each conductor in the cable to each open end of the control circuit. The
heater manufacturer may have specific terminals designated for this purpose.

3. Neatly route this cable to the main control center, through one of the low voltage raceways and after cutting and
stripping the insulation from the conductors, connect them to the 2 terminals marked “HEATER SWITCH”.

CONNECTING HEATER WITH 24V CONTROL SYSTEM

NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT 24V CONTROL CIRCUITS TO HIGH VOLTAGE; DOING SO WILL DAMAGE
THE HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT. THIS TYPE OF HEATER REQUIRES A CONTINUOUS 120V OR
240V POWER SOURCE.

1. Install flexible conduit from a knockout that enters the high voltage compartment of the Main Control Center to the
knockout that enters the high voltage field wiring compartment of the heater.

2. For 120V heaters, pull 3- #14 AWG conductors, one each of black, white, and green with a temperature rating of
105°C or higher through the Seal-tite.

3. For 240V heaters, pull 3- #14 AWG conductors, one each of red, black, and green with a temperature rating of
105°C or higher through the flexible conduit. Leave enough wire at each end to make the required connections.

4. At the Main Control Center, cut the wires to length and strip 1/2" of insulation from the ends of the wires.

5. For 120V heaters, connect the black wire to the terminal marked “120/240 HEATER” and tighten. Connect the
white wire to the “LOAD NEUTRAL (WHT)” bar and tighten.

6. For 240V heaters, connect the red wire to the terminal marked “240V HEATER” and tighten. Connect the black
wire to the terminal marked “120/240V HEATER” and tighten.

7. For both 120V and 240V applications, connect the green wire to the ground terminal strip and tighten.
At the heater end, locate the 120V on the 240V field wiring connections and connect according to the
manufacturer's instructions.

8. After connecting the power to the heater as described above, connect the 24V control system in series with a
relay that is located on the Main Control Center printed circuit board. This relay is controlled by the temperature
sensing circuit on the board and will close when heating is required. It will not provide output voltage.

9. Using #22 AWG, 2 conductor, sheathed cable or cable as directed by the heater manufacturer, interrupt the 24V
control circuit in the heater and connect each conductor in the cable to each open end of the control circuit. The
heater manufacturer may have specific terminals designated for this purpose. Neatly route this cable to the low­voltage raceways and after cutting and stripping the insulation from the conductors, connect them to the two
terminals marked “HEATER SWITCH.”

FOR BOTH TYPES OF HEATERS – MILLIVOLT CONTROL SYSTEM AND 24V CONTROL SYSTEM PLEASE
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

After the heater hook-up has been made, turn all thermostats to maximum position and move thermostat selector
switches to any on position. This will enable all control switches in the Heater Control Circuit and allow the heater
to fire when the Main Control Center temperature sensing circuit calls for heat.

35

CONNECTING HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS TO THE MAIN CONTROL CENTER (continued)

CONNECTING PUMPS

1. Install flexible conduit from a knockout that enters the high voltage compartment of the Main Control Center to the
field connector fitting of each pump.

2. Pull 3- #12 AWG conductors, one each of red, black and green with a temperature rating of 60°C or higher through
the flexible conduit, leaving enough wire at each end to make the required connections.

3. At the Main Control Center, cut the wires to length and strip 1/8" of insulation from the ends of the wires. Insert the
