1. Mounting the Equipment
!
ECOMMAND 4 Control Center
The ECOMMAND 4 is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The
control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if
local codes require). The Control Center is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box),
it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount the ECOMMAND 4 inside a panel
or tightly enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the temperature sensors, and valve
actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m) long.
Temperature Sensors
Three sensors are included with the ECOMMAND 4. A water sensor and an air sensor must be installed
at all times for proper operation. A solar sensor is required if the solar function is enabled.
Water Sensor
This sensor is used to measure the pool/spa temperature and is installed in the filtration plumbing after the
filter but before either the solar or conventionally fueled heaters—refer to the plumbing overview diagram.
1. Drill a 3/8” (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs.
2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole.
3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not
overtighten.
4. For maximum temperature accuracy , cover the sensor and 3” (6cm) of pipe on either side with
insulation and white paint.
Air Sensor
Mount the air sensor outdoors.
IMPORT ANT : Mount the air sensor out of direct sunlight.
Solar Sensor
For solar applications, mount the sensor near the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same
sunlight as the collectors. Use additional cable (20 AWG) if necessary.
Optional AQL2-SS-RF Remote Control (included with HPC-4-RC, HPC-4-
ACT-RC)
The ECOMMAND 4 is compatible with AQL2-SS-RF wireless remote control only. The AQL2-SS-RF
is a waterproof portable remote control that is designed to be used in and around the pool/spa area. The
AQL2-SS-RF floats and can be left in the water for easy access. A single AQL2-BASE-RF Base Station
must be installed on the ECOMMAND 4 in order to use this remote control. The maximum distance
between the wireless remote and the base station on the ECOMMAND 4 main control unit is 400 feet
(120m) line of sight or 200 feet (60m) through walls, etc. If in doubt about the distance, test operation
before installing the remote. All wireless models require the user to run the “T each Wireless” routine in the
Settings Menu. This information can be found in the ECOMMAND 4 Operation Manual.

The AQL2-BASE-RF optional base station must be installed if the AQL2-SS-RF is used. T o install the
base station, remove the knockout on the upper left side of the ECOMMAND 4 main control unit, insert
the base station, and then tighten the nut from the inside. Also refer to the Base S tation manual and the
diagram on page 13.
Optional V alve Actuators (included with HPC-4-ACT, HPC-4-ACT-RC)
For optional actuators used with the ECOMMAND 4—note that the internal cams in the actuator may
also have to be adjusted depending on the way the actuator is mounted on the valve and the desired valve
action.

POOL
Some important notes regarding the ECOMMAND 4 control of Standard Pool/Spa systems:
In Pool/Spa Config., select:
1. The ECOMMAND 4 can be programmed to accommodate spa spillover, if desired.
2. A conventional heater (gas or heat pump) and solar can be used to heat both the pool and the spa.
3. If the chlorinator cell is plumbed prior to the pool/spa return valve, then both the pool and the spa
can be chlorinated (only when optional external chlorination is used).
4. The water sensor should be installed prior to any heater or solar and will display either the pool or
the spa temperature, depending on the current operation of the pool. The temperature will only be
displayed when the filter pump is running.
5. If any water feature or pressure side cleaner boost pumps are used, be sure to enable the “interlock”
feature (see “Configuration Menu” for details) to ensure that the pumps operate only when the
filter pump is on and the system is in the “pool only” operating mode.
6. The plumbing diagram above is intended to be used as a general guideline and is not a complete
plumbing schematic for the pool.
7. The air sensor must be installed if the freeze protection feature is enabled for the filter, valves or aux
outputs or if the chlorinator is enabled.

Control Power
The ECOMMAND 4 Control Center requires both high and low voltage connections. Low voltage
connections will be made to actuators, sensors, remote keypad, etc. High voltage connections will be
made to pumps, lights, etc., as well as providing direct input power to the Control Center. Always:
-Ensure that Power is disconnected prior to doing any wiring
-Follow all local and NEC (CEC if applicable) codes
-Use copper conductors only
Main Service (Power to the Circuit Breaker Subpanel)
The ECOMMAND 4 circuit breaker subpanel is rated for 100A service. Run properly rated conductors
(L1, L2, N, and ground) from the primary house electrical panel to the main power connections on the
ECOMMAND 4 circuit breaker base. The connection at the main house panel should be to a 240VAC
circuit breaker rated at 100A maximum.
Grounding and Bonding
Connect a ground wire from the primary electrical panel to the ECOMMAND 4 ground bus bar. Also
ground each piece of high voltage (120 or 240V AC) equipment that is connected to the ECOMMAND 4
control relays or circuit breakers. The ECOMMAND 4 should also be connected to the pool bonding
system by an 8A WG (6A WG for Canada) wire. A lug for bonding (2 for Canada) is provided on the
outside/bottom of the ECOMMAND 4 enclosure.

Circuit breakers are to be supplied by the installer . Refer to the circuit breaker chart below for a list of
suitable circuit breakers that can be used. Follow the code and the circuit breaker manufacturer’s rating

General Purpose Outlet
If desired, a duplex receptacle with weatherproof cover (supplied by installer) may be installed in the
knockouts on the lower right side of the ECOMMAND 4 enclosure. Per code, the receptacle should be
a GFCI type. Alternatively , connect a standard receptacle to a GFCB.
ECOMMAND 4 Control Power
The ECOMMAND 4 requires 120VAC, 2A power to operate the control logic circuits. This power
should be connected to a circuit breaker rated at 125% of the intended load or the next higher size
available.

All ECOMMAND 4 relays are double pole (they make/break both “legs” of 240V circuits) and are rated
at 3HP/30A at 240V (1½HP/30A at 120V). Refer to the diagram below for typical relay wiring.

Lights: A ground fault circuit breaker must be used to supply power for high voltage pool/spa lighting.
Low voltage lights will require an external transformer. For lighting systems that have both a light source
and color wheel, connect the light source to the “Lights” relay and then connect the color wheel to one of
the AUX outputs.
