WARNING
To avoid injury ensure that you use this
control system to control only packaged
pool/spa heaters which have built-in
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.
Water temperature in excess of 100°F
(38°C) may be hazardous to your
health.
WARNING
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 (3.3 mm2). In addition, a second
wire connector should be bonded with
a no. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) copper wire to
any metal ladders, water pipes, or other
metal within five (5) feet (1.52 m) of the
pool/spa. In Canada, the bonding wire
must be minimum 6 AWG (13,3 mm2).
WARNING
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.
CAUTION:
This device is intended for
use with permanent swimming pools and
may also be used with hot tubs and spas
if so marked. Do not use with storable
pools. A permanently-installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily
disassembled for storage. A storable
pool is constructed so that it is capable of
being readily disassembled for storage
and reassembled to its original integrity.
When mixing acid or other chemicals
with water,
ALWAYS ADD THE ACID
OR CHEMICALS TO WATER. NEVER
ADD WATER TO THE ACID OR
CHEMICALS.
CAUTION: It is important to note that
certain materials used in and around
swimming pools and spas may not be
compatible with chemicals commonly
used to purify pool and spa water (e.g.
acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.).
Zodiac Pool Systems LLC does not
warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated
water generated by the Jandy®Pro
Series chlorine generating device will not
damage or destroy certain types of plants,
decking, coping and other materials in
and around your pool and/or spa. Before
selecting materials to be used in and
around your pool and/or spa, please
discuss all options with your contractor to
assess the compatibility of such materials
and chemicals.
Some helpful considerations may
include:
• Choosing plants that can withstand
splash out of pool water containing
chlorine and/or salt and other water
purication chemicals.
Jandy®AquaLink®RS Conversion Kit
Page 4 Page 5
• All metal components used in and
around a pool should be of a high
grade, quality stainless steel.
• Careful selection of masonry
products. The porosity and
hardness of natural stones varies
greatly. Therefore we recommend
you consult with your builder
or stone contractor on the best
choice for stone materials around
your pool or spa.
• Sealing all masonry products.
Professionals in the stone industry
specify that even natural stone,
especially when used outdoors,
be sealed to prevent weathering,
staining, and premature
degradation. Consult with your
stone or deck contractor for the
proper sealer for the masonry
products you have selected to use
around your pool or spa.
• For optimal results, sealers should
be reapplied on a regular
basis. Reapply the protective
sealer on a schedule per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use of chemicals other than
those recommended may be
hazardous. Follow the chemical
manufacturers instructions.
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 37 °C (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:
• Unawareness of impending
danger
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to
exit spa
• Physical inability to exit spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a
danger of drowning
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
• The water in a spa should never
exceed 40°C (104°F). Water
temperatures between 38°C
(100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are
considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children
and when spa use exceeds 10
minutes.
• 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 38°C
(100°F).
•
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.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or
medication before or during
spa or hot tub use may lead
to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning.
• 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.
• Persons using medication
should consult a physician
before using a spa or hot tub
since some medication may
induce drowsiness while other
medication may aect heart rate,
blood pressure, and circulation.
•
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.
Installation & Operation Manual
Page 6
•
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
38°C (100°F) 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 1.5 m (5 ft.) 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.

1. If connecting a Low Voltage pool heater (for example, a Jandy®brand heater),
connect two (2) 14 gauge wires, designed for use in hot environments, to
the proper terminals on the 10 pin terminal bar (see Figure 4). If you are
connecting a High Voltage pool heater, contact Zodiac for instructions.
2. Bring the two (2) heater wires from the PCB over to the heater and wire nut in
series with heater circuitry as if you were wiring a reman’s switch or a heater
delay.
3. Turn the heater thermostat to the Spa position and maximum setting.
4. Turn the heater toggle switch on.
5. Do not disconnect the high limit or pressure switches.
NOTE For Spa Heater, make connection to the Spa heater Interface
Board and plug it into the Spa Heater socket.
5.6 Connecting Auxiliary Equipment to PCB
Connect the high voltage relay plugs into their appropriate sockets according
to the wiring diagram located on the inside of the Power Center door.
NOTE This appliance has up to 9 supply connections.
