GENERAL INFORMATION
Many of today’s pools and spas utilize the advantages of a single
electrical control panel, containing all the necessary components
for the safe, cost effective and automatic operation of a pool or spa.
Model RC2163E is designed to operate the shared equipment, like
the pump, filter and the heater of a Pool/Spa combination safely
from the spa side with only one air button.
The 24 hour timer turns ON the filter pump and automatically filters
and, if so set, heats the pool water on a daily schedule. In addition,

3. Install this Control not less than 5 feet (3 meters in Canada) from inside edge of pool. USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY.
4. Do not exceed the maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices, and current carrying capacity of conductors.
5. For control grounding, bonding, installing and the wiring of underwater lights, refer to Article 680 of the National Electrical Code or Article
68 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
6. The Control should not operate any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property damage should it be activated

INSTALLATION
1. Follow wiring diagram on Page 4 and prepare your
installation layout. Make sure only copper (solid or
stranded) conductors are used, properly sized and suitable
for the installation. Each piece of equipment must be
grounded properly. IMPORTANT: NEUTRAL MUST
ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO THE WHITE LEAD
OF THE CONTROL.
2. Hang Air Control on a flat vertical surface or other
support, using hardware suitable for the purpose.
Make sure the air button is within the range of the Air
Control. NOTE: The optimum range of this Air Control
is 100 feet.
3. Prepare the necessary conduit runs, including one for
the air hose, terminate them at both ends and pull-in the
conductors as specified by the installation layout.
