Many of today’s pools and spas utilize the advantages of a
single electrical control panel, containing all the necessary
components for the safe, cost effective and automatic
operation of a pool or spa.
Model RC2163FE is designed to operate the shared
equipment, like the filter pump, filter and the heater of a
Pool-Spa combination safely from the spa side or other
remote location.
The 24 hour timer turns ON the filter pump and automatically
filters and, if set, heats the pool water on a daily schedule. In
addition, a toggle switch, a timer or a radio receiver installed
at a convenient remote location can turn ON the pump, the
heater and rotate the valves thus allowing the water to
circulate in the spa. The Control also features a three
position selector switch for the heater.
The Control also has terminals to accept a number of
options like the freeze or heater protection accessories.
Model RC2163BFE is the same as the one described
above, except it is built into an 8 circuit 100 Amp.
