Surge Suppression
Installation Manual
AquaLink®RS
Installation Data
IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER. This manual contains important information on
maximizing the protection for your AquaLink®RS. Read the instructions carefully. Proper
grounding and bonding is required for the surge suppression to be effective. In addition,
a PROTECTION POLICY REGISTRATION CARD is included. The completed card must
be returned to Jandy within 30 days of installation for the Surge Protection Policy to be in
effect. Note that this kit contains components to protect a base system only. Depending
on how your installation is wired, and the number of options, you may need additional
surge boards (order P/N 6585). All necessary surge suppression components must be
installed correctly for the warranty coverage to be in effect.

Power Center Low Voltage Surge Suppression
4-wire RS485 and First Spa Side Switch
Use the Power Center Surge Suppression PCB to protect the Power Center PCB from surges that can enter
from the 4-wire RS485 cable and rst Spa Side Switch in the system. All 4-wire cables that enter the Power
Center enclosure must be connected to the Surge Suppression PCB. Voltage signals are then transferred to
the Power Center PCB, see Figure 1.
Mount Surge Suppression PCB in Daughter Card area of Power Center Bezel, see Figure 2. If all Daughter
Card slots are full, use the stand-off strips provided with the Surge Suppression PCB. Attach a strip on each
side of the PCB, peel off the adhesive backing, and then mount the PCB to the back of the Power Center
Can in the Low Voltage Area.
If using more than one Spa Side Switch, Switch #2 and #3 must rst be connected to the Dual Spa Side
Interface PCB (P/N 6588). The Dual Spa Side Interface PCB includes a 4-wire cable that connects to the red
terminal bar on the Surge Suppression PCB (see Figure 5 on back of this manual). Two sets of 4-wire cables
that enter the Power Center can be "doubled up" on the red terminal bar, see Figure 1.

Never connect more than two wires on each of the pins of the red terminal bar. Use the Jandy
Multiplex PCB, p/n 6584, when more than two of the 4-wire cables are used with the system.

Low Voltage (4-wire RS485) Surge Suppression PCB
Indoor Controller/Auxiliary Power Center(s)/TeleLink
Use the Low Voltage Surge Suppression PCB to protect the PCBs in any devices connected to the 4-wire
cable in the RS485 system. Inside the indoor controller, there is a specic area where the Surge Suppression
PCB can be mounted. To properly install the PCB and make sure that it does not interfere with other
components, use the template provided. Wire the PCB according to Figure 3.
CAUTION
Proper bonding and grounding is necessary for surge suppression to protect the AquaLink RS system.

Accessory PCB’s
Each accessory added to the RS485 system will require its own Surge Suppression PCB (P/N 6585)
unless the accessory is wired "in series" and "downstream" of another accessory that already has a Surge
Suppression PCB installed. Figure 4 illustrates a typical RS485 system. Notice that the 3 controllers are
wired "in series" and are all protected by a Surge Suppression PCB installed in the rst controller. The
TeleLink J-box requires its own Surge Suppression PCB because it is wired directly to the Power Center ("in
Parallel" to the controllers).
NOTE All wiring that exits the house, including wiring inside a screened porch, is susceptible to pick up and transfer
power surges to the controller(s) or the Power Center. Buried cables (in or out of conduit) from spa side
switches are also susceptible to transfer power surges. Ensure all low voltage wiring that runs outside the
house or Power Center is connected to a surge suppression board before it connects to other PCBs.
