Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
Read and follow all instructions.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
Water in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit may be hazardous to your health.
A terminal bar (marked for equipment ground only) is located inside the high voltage
compartment of the Power Center. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must
be connected to the grounding means provided in the electrical supply panel with a
continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this
equipment.

Plumb system in accordance with recommended hydraulic schematic.
1. Spa should be at or above the level of the pool. If spa is attached to pool, provide a dam
between the two bodies of water, th is allo ws the spa to o verf lo w into the pool. If spa is not
attached to pool, an overflow, sufficient in size to carry full pump-flow, must be installed
between the spa and pool.
2. Plumb 3-port valve on the suction-side of the filter pump, so that center port of valve is
connected to the filter pump. Connect spa suction to one port, and pool suction to the
other port.
WATERFALL
3. Plumb 3-port valve on the output-side of the heater, so that center port of valve is
connected to the heater. Connect spa return to one port, and pool return to the other port.
4. Plumb 3/4” spa makeup line (incorporating a 3/4” ball valve and a 3/4” check valve).
During pool circulation, some of the pool water needs to enter the spa to keep it
chemically balanced and full of water. The ball valve adjusts the amount of bypass.
5. If a Spa-side Remote is to be used, install a 3” to 6” length of 1.5” Sch . 40 pv c pipe in the
spa wall so that the Spa-side Remote will not be submerged. Positioning the top of the
pipe 1/2” below the coping. The pipe should extend beyond the finished surface and will
be cut back after tile work is completed. Connect a 1/2” conduit and run back to Power
Center. Use sweep elbows for turns.

6. Systems with separate main drain and skimmer lines can use a 3-port valve to balance the flow.
7. Plumb cleaner pump after the return valve to the pool return line.
8. A Valve Actuator can be used to direct pool return water to a waterfall. This eliminates the
need for an additional pump.
9. Plumb solar feed and return lines between the filter and heater. Install 3-port solar valv e at
the feed line. Use Compool solar valve (model SOL-2T), to allow automatic draining of
panels.
10. A solar booster pump should be used when distance to panels exceeds 200’, or panels are
elevated higher than 25’.
11. Glazed solar panels require a drain valve (model HW-5B) to allow draining of panels.
This prevents damage from overheating water. Install drain valve at solar feed line and
connect to the pool fill line.
With the exception of the Spa-side Remote, all equipment must be located at least 10’ from the
water’s edge. Locate equipment in the following locations.
LX-3400 Power Center - at the equipment site.
CP-3400 Control Panel - inside the house or other weather-protected area.
CVA-24T Valve Actuators - at valves to be motorized.
SNS-KIT2 Water Temperature Sensor - at the filter pump. Freeze Temperature
Sensor - at equipment pad.

System Power provides power to the transformer.
• To wire System Power
1. At the Sub-panel, install a circuit breaker for System Po wer. The system draws less than 1
amp. Do not use a GFCI circuit breaker.
2. Run appropriate wires from the circuit br eaker to the System Power terminal block.
3. For a 115 volt connection, connect to terminals 2 and 3.
4. For a 230 volt connection, connect to terminals 1 and 3.
Caution
Incorrect wiring will cause permanent damage to the transformer.

HIGH VOLTAGE RELAYS
Adding Relays
The diagram above shows how the filter pump is wired. Additional pumps should be wired the
same way.
• To wire high voltage equipment
1. At the Sub-panel, install circuit breaker. Run wires from circuit breaker to relay terminal
block LINE 1 and LINE 2.
2. Connect equipment to the relay terminal block LOAD 1 and LOAD 2.
If pump is greater than 3 H.P., install an external contactor. Use relay to switch coil of
Note
external contactor.
The Power Center comes standard with 4 relays. It is possible to add additional relays (model
RLY-LX). The LX-3400 Power Center has r oom for 7 rela ys, and the LX-340 0L Power Center
has room for 8 relays.

HIGH VOLTAGE RELAYS
GFCI
TO LIGHT
High voltage pool/spa lights require GFCI protection. To meet electrical code requ irements,
the pool/spa light must be connected directly to the GFCI. Do not use a GFCI circuit breaker.
• To wire high voltage pool/spa light
1. Install a GFCI receptacle next to the Sub-panel.
2. Connect neutral and hot wire from circuit breaker to the LINE SIDE of the GFCI receptacle.
3. Connect white wire from the light to the LOAD SIDE of the GFCI receptacle.
4. Connect the other wire from the light to LOAD 1 of the relay terminal block.
5. Connect a wire from LINE 1 of the relay terminal block to the LOAD SIDE of the GFCI receptacle.
The example above assumes the pool or spa light is 500 watts or less. If the pool has two
Note
500 watt lights, the second light needs to be wired to LOAD 2 of the relay terminal block. Install
a jumper wire between LINE 1 and LINE 2 of the relay terminal block.
