W2 wire determines voltage
Ozone Connector Voltage: The EL circuit board is factory configured to deliver a preset voltage (120V
or 240V) to the on-board ozone connector (J29 or J17). See the ratings table on the wiring diagram
attached to the cover of the enclosure for the configured voltage and output connector. For 240V output,
W2 (J29) or W7 (J17) connects to Red AC. For 120V output, W2 or W7 connects to White AC.
The voltage to the ozone connector can be changed in the field if required. W2 or W7 just need to be set
for the required voltage.
Balboa Ozone Generator: If the board is set up to operate a 120V ozone generator, the connector on the
ozone generator is likely to be configured correctly, but should be compared to the illustration below.
If a 240V ozone generator is required, be sure the red wire in the ozone cord is positioned in the
connector next to the green ground wire as described below.
Note: A special tool is required to remove the pins from the connector body once they are snapped in
place. Check with your Balboa Account Manager for information on purchasing a pin-removal tool.
