Recommended Hydraulic Schematic

Plumb system in accordance with recommended hydraulic schematic, local codes and the following gu idelines. Bring all lines back to the equipment pad:

1. Spa should be at or above the lev e l of the pool. If spa is attached to pool, provide a dam between the two bodies of water and allow spa overflow into pool. If spa is not attached to pool, an overflow, sufficient in size to carry full pump-flow, must be installed between spa and pool.

2. Plumb a 3-port Freedom Valve on the suction-side of the filter pump, so that center port of valve is connected to the pump inlet. Connect spa suction to one side of Intake Valve, and pool suction to the other side.

3. Plumb a 3-port Freedom Valve on the output-side of the heater, so that return water will enter valve through the center port. Connect spa retu rn to one port, and pool return to the other.

4. A ¾” spa makeup line (incorporating a ¾” manual gate or ball valve and, for elevated spas, a ¾” check valve) may be provided to bypass the pool return line. This will enable some of the pool water to cycle through the spa, thus keeping it chemically balanced with the pool. The manual valve will allow the amount of by pas s to be adjusted.

5. If an optional Spa-Side Remot e is to be used, install a 6” t o 12” leng th of 1½” Sc h. 40 p vc pipe abo v e w ater le vel in the spa wall so that the Spa-Side Remote will not be submerged. This can be done by positioning the top of the 1 ½” pipe ½” below the coping. The pipe should be perpendicular to the spa wall and protrude beyond the finished surface of the spa. It will be cut back at a later date. Outside the spa, reduce the pipe size down to ½” or ¾” conduit, and run to proposed Lx3000 Power Center l ocation at equipment pad. Use sweep elbows for turns. The Spa-Side Remote should not be installed until spa constructio n is complete.

Compool Cp3000

6. For systems which incorporate a skimmer, it is possible to balance the amount of suction between the skimmer and main drain for maintenance purposes. This is easily accomplished by installing a manual 3-port Freedom Valve at the suction line. Plumb one port to the skimmer and the other to the main drain.

7. If a “booster pump” type pool cleaner is being used, plumb the pump so that its suction-side is connected to the pool return, after the heater and as close to t he ground as practical.

8. A motorized 3-port Freedom Valve can be installed to create a waterfall from the return line. This enables a waterfall effect to occur whenever the filter pump is running, and eliminates the need for a separate pump.

9. For systems which utilize solar panels, plumb the solar feed and return lines between the filter and heater, and install a motorized 3-port Compool Solar Valve at the solar feed line. Provide a vacuum relief valve at the highest point of the solar panel array, and a ½ lb. spring check valve at the solar return line. Use Compool Solar Valve (model SOL-2T), to allow the panels to automatically drain whenever the filter pump is not running.

10. For solar systems with very long plumbing runs, or where panels are i nstalled at a very high elevation (higher than reasonable head pressure of filter pump), a solar booster pump should be installed at the solar feed line. The motorized Solar Valve should always be used in conjunction with this pump, except where the vertical elevation of panels above pool water level exceeds 25 feet.

11. For solar systems with glazed panels, plumb a ½” motorized Solar Drain Valve (model HW-5B) from the solar feed line, through a check valve, to a zero psi point (such as a jet air intake or pool fill line). Do not connect it to pump suction. This will enable the panels to automatically drain whenever the solar turns off, even if the filter pump is still running. This prevents possible scaling of panels and damage from overheating. The Solar Drain Valve (model HW-5B) should also be used for solar systems which do not facilitate gravity drainage of panels (i.e.: where solar plumbing crosses the ridge of the roof).

Installation

EQUIPMENT LOCATION

With the exception of the Spa-Side Remote (which is UL Listed for installation right at the tile-line of the spa), all equipment must be located five feet or more from the water’s edge.

1. Lx3000 Power Center at the equipment site.

2. Cp3000 Controller inside th e house or other weathe r-protected area.

3. CVA-24 Valve Actuator(s) at valve(s) to be motorized.

4. TS-5L Water Temperature Sensor at the filter pump.

5. TS-5L Solar Temperature Sensor at solar panels (where applicable).

6. Spa-Side Remote (optional) at spa wall or decking.

HIGH VOLTAGE WIRING

SUB-PANEL

At the equipment site, install an electrical sub-panel with separate breakers for each load. Circuit breakers should be readily accessible to the pool/spa user, but installed at least 5 feet from the water’s edge.

Note: It is possible to install system without a sub -pa nel.

Lx3000 POWER CENTER

Lx3000

1. Select a convenient location to mount the Lx3000 Power Center. Ensure that the location is greater than 5 feet from the water’s edge and no further than 15 feet from any motorized valves (otherwise Valve Actuator cables will need to be extended).

2. Mount the Lx3000 on a flat surface using appropriate screws through the three external mounting points located on the side of the enclosure.

Caution: Do not drill and mount from inside the enclosure

3. Remove the three service panel screws in right-side of Lx3000 to expose the high voltage compartment.

4. Knock-out the appropriate holes at bottom of enclosure to facilitate conduit mounting. Screw terminals are provided for high voltage connections.

SYSTEM POWER

Installation

1. Provide a separate circuit breaker to power the system. Either 115 or 230 VAC can be used (115 VAC is preferable). The Cp3000 system draws less than 1 amp.

Caution: Incorrect system wiring will cause permanent damage to the transformer.

2. Verify that the breaker will open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the Nationa l E lectrical Code, ANSI / NF PA 70-1987.

3. Run appropriate wires from circuit breaker to high voltage compartment of Lx3000, and connect to top terminal block in accordance with wiring label, which is mark ed “SYSTEM POWER”. The diagram above shows system wired for 115 volts.

4. For 115 VAC, connect to Screw Terminals #2 and #3.

5. For 230 VAC, connect to Screw Terminals #1 and #3.

HIGH VOLTAGE RELAYS

1. Install circuit breakers to provide voltage for power relays at R1 through R4. Run appropriate wires from breakers to high voltage compartment of Lx3000, and connect to LINE 1 and LINE 2 Screw Terminals at each terminal block.

2. Pumps and other high voltage equipment are connected to LOAD 1 and LOAD 2 terminals. Each individual terminal block can be wired to operate either 115 or 230 VAC.

3. Connect the high voltage equipment to LOAD 1 and LOAD 2 terminals at each terminal block. The diagram above shows the high voltage wiring of a 230 VAC filter pump.

4. If the system is to control a pool cleaner pump, it should be connected to the R2 terminal block.

Note: For 115 VAC equipment, only half of the terminal block needs to be used (i.e.: LINE 1 and LOAD 1). The neutral wire connects directly from the sub panel to the equipment.

ADDING RELAYS

The Cp3000 system comes standard with 4 power relays for activating the Filter Pump, Aux1, Aux2 and Aux3 circuits.

It is possible to install additional Relay Kits (model RLY-LX) to the Lx3000, in order to activate additional equipment. Install RLY-LX in accordance with instructions provided, and plug relay control wire into Lx3000 circuit board at appropriate Relay Socket. The Lx3000 Power Center will accommodate a maximum of 7 power relays.

Lx3000 Circuit Board

LOW VOLTAGE CABLES

All low voltage connections are made to the circuit board which is located behind the hinged faceplate in left-side compartment of Lx3000 Power Center.

150 feet of 6-conductor communication cable (model 6COND), and 25 feet of 2-conductor cable (model 2COND) is provided with the system. Additional cable is available from your distributor.

Determine lengths of hookup cable required to run from the low voltage compartment of the Lx3000 Power Center to the various pieces of equipment:

Compool Cp3000

1. 6-conductor 26 AWG communication cable to the Cp3000 Con troll er. Note: 300’ run maximum. Ca ll Co mpool for instruction for longer run s. Caution: Always lubricate cable with cable lubricant when pulling through

conduit.

2. 2-conductor 22 AWG cable to the gas heater.

3. 2-conductor 22 AWG cable to the Water Temperature Sensor.

4. 2-conductor 22 AWG cable to optional Solar Temperature Sensor.

5. CVA-24 Valve Actuators are provided with 15 feet of 3-conductor cable. Note: May be extended to a max. length of 150’ w/ 18 gauge cable (model 3COND/VOR).

6. Optional Spa-Side Remote is provided with necessary cable attached (50’, 100’, 150’, 200’, or 250’ length).

Note: Do not install low voltage and high voltage wires in the same conduit.

Do not install temperature sensor and gas heater wires in the same conduit. Install cables, using plastic or metallic conduit where cables run underground, through concrete, etc.

MOUNTING THE Cp3000 CONTROLLER

Installation

1. Select a convenient location inside the house or other weather-protected area to mount the Cp3000 Controller. The overall width of the Controller (with doors open) is 11½”. The location of the 6-conductor communication cable (on the centerline of the enclosure) should therefore be at least 5¾” from any door jamb, wall corner or other obstacle. Install the Cp3000 Cont roller at eye level for best viewing of the L CD display.

2. Remove backplate from Controller. Temporarily pull cable through large hole in backplate, and position backplate on surface of wall. Ensure that backplate is level, and that “TOP” nomenclature is oriented correctly. Level the backplate and mark the three mounting points on the surface of the wall.

3. With the back plate remov ed from the wall, drill 3/16” d iameter holes at the three points. Insert mo unting anchors (included) into the three holes.

4. Pull cable through large hole in backplate, and use the three 1¼” screws to mount backplate to wall. Cut off excess cable, and use crimping tool (m odel TOOL-6) to connect modular plug at each end of cable. See USING THE CRIMPING TOOL for details.

5. At the Cp3000, insert cable (with modular plug attached) into circuit board at “LINE TO LX” Socket.
