Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
LIRE LA NOTICE TECHNIQUE.
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local
codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
DANGER
To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot
tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the equipment assembly.
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the
body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms of hyperthermia
include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects
of hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure to recognize the
need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting
in a danger of drowning.
WARNING
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
a) The water in a spa 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 a 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 or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility of drowning.
e) 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.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication
may induce drowsines while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock - Install the power center at least five (5) feet (152.4cm) from the inside wall of the pool and/or
hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian installations must be at least three (3) meters from the water.
Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision.
Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa
or hot tub.
Danger d'electrocution - Les installations Canadiennes doivent se trouver à au moins trois (3) mètres de l’eau.
Ne pas laisser les enfants utiliser une cuve de relaxation sans surveillance.
Pour éviter que les cheveux ou une partie du corps puissent être aspirés, ne pas utiliser une cuve de relaxation si
les grilles de prise d'aspiration ne sont pas toutes en place.
Les personnes qui prennent des médicaments ou ont des problèmes de santé devraient consulter un médecin avant
d’utiliser une cuve de relaxation.
AVERTISSEMENT

WARNING
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible
drowning.
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
Water temperature in excess of 100°F/38°C may be injurious to your health.
Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa or
hot tub.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Water temperature in excess of 100°F/38°C may be hazardous to your health.
AVERTISSEMENT
Les personnes atteintes de maladies infectieuses ne devraient pas utiliser une cuve de relaxation.
Pour éviter des blessures, user de prudence en entrant dans une cuve de relaxation et en sortant.
Pour éviter l’évanouissement et la noyade éventuelle, ne prendre ni drougue ni alcool avant d’utiliser une cuve de
relaxation ni quand on s’y trouve.
Les femmes enceintes, que leur grossesse soit conrmée ou non, devraient consulter un médecin avant d’utiliser
une cuve de relaxation.
Il peut être dangereux pour la santé de se plonger dans de l’eau à plus de 38°C/100°F.
Avant d’utiliser une cuve de relaxation mesurer la témperature de l’eau à l’aide d’un thermomètre précis.
Ne pas utiliser une cuve de relaxation immédiatement après un exercice fatigant.
L’utilisation prolongée d’une cuve de relaxation peut être dangereuse pur la santé.
Ne pas placer d'appareil électrique (luminaire, téléphone, radio, téléviseur, etc) à moins de 1.5m de cette cuve de
relaxation.
La consommation d’alcool ou de drogue augmente considérablement les risques d’hyperthermie mortelle dans une
cuve de relaxation.
Il peut etrê dangereux pour la santé de se plonger dans de l’eau à plus de 38°C/100°F.
To avoid injury ensure that you use this control system to control only packaged pool/spa heaters which have builtin operating and high limit controls to limit water temperature for pool/spa applications. This device should not be
relied upon as a safety limit control.
A terminal bar marked "GROUND" is provided within the power center. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect
this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor
having green insulation and one that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no
smaller than no. 12 AWG (3.3mm). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8 AWG (4.115mm)
copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five (5) feet (1.52m) of the tub.
A ground-fault circuit-interrupter must be provided if this device is used to control underwater lighting fixtures. The
conductors on the load side of the ground-fault circuit-interrupter shall not occupy conduit, boxes, or enclosures
containing other conductors unless the additional conductors are also protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter.
Refer to local codes for complete details.
Attention installer: Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.

3.1 AquaPalm Transceiver J-Box Cable
Connection to Power Center PCB
Make provisions for the cable to be run between
the AquaPalm Transceiver J-box and the AquaLink
RS Power Center. Never run high voltage and low
voltage in the same conduit.
1. Turn off all power to the Power Center.
2. Pull cable through the knockout with the
Heyco fitting and into the low voltage
compartment (see Figure 3).
3. Strip back the insulation jacket of the cable
approximately 6".
4. Strip each wire ¼" and connect to the red,
4-pin connector on the Power Center PCB.
A multiplex kit may be required if there are
more than two cables running to a red, 4-pin
connector (see Figure 3) on the PCB.
