Power Center Connection - Low Voltage
1. Connect 24V AC Power to Bezel and Mount Bezel.
Plug the orange 24V AC power plug from the transformer into its 3-pin terminal on the back of the Low Voltage Bezel,
feed battery wires to front right and connect the Bezel to the Power Center with the screws provided. DO NOT INSTALL
BATTERY.
2. Mount JVAs & run wires to Power Center.
Refer to the JVA manual to install JVAs. Run JVA wires back to the low voltage compartment of the Power Center,
through low voltage raceway, and plug the JVAs into their sockets. Make certain to plug Intake JVA into Intake socket,
and Return JVA into Return Socket (see diagram). NOTE: Do not coil JVA cable inside Power Center. To shorten cable,
remove JVA lid and undo cable wire nuts. Shorten, strip, and reconnect.
3. Connect Controller Cable to P. C. Board.
Make provision for Cable to be run between the Control Panel and the Power Center. Where cable runs underground or
in concrete, it must be run in conduit. Never run high voltage and low voltage cable in the same conduit. Pull
Controller Cable into low voltage compartment. Strip back cable jacket 6". Strip each wire ¼" and connect to the red 4-
pin connector. Wire according to the Power Center P.C. Board Wiring Diagram. A Multiplex Kit may be required if
connectong more than two wires to a 4-pin connector.
4. Install Spa Side Switch or SpaLink RS and connect to Terminals.
Spa Side Switch or SpaLink RS (optional)
Follow the instructions included with the Spa Side Switch or SpaLink RS to mount and wire.
NOTE: If more than one Spa Side Switch will be installed, an additional interface board is required,
Dual Spa Side Switch kit, Part No. 6588. For the SpaLink RS, a Rev. G or newer PPD is required and if more than one
SpaLink will be installed, a Multiplex Kit is required.
Radio Remote, and TeleLink Telephone Interface
To install, follow the instructions included with these optional items.
5. Connect Sensors to Terminals.
Water Temperature Sensor.
Drill 3/8" hole in pipe between filter pump and filter. Insert sensor and use clamp (provided) to hold in place. Remove
the 10-pin terminal bar (green) from the PCB. Connect sensor wires to the 10-pin terminal bar as shown on the wiring
diagram on page 34.
Freeze/Ambient Air Temperature Sensor (required). Air Sensor must be installed.
Install sensor outdoors where it will be subjected to shaded air temperature (not in sun). Connect sensor wires to the
10-pin terminal bar as shown on the wiring diagram. Connect other sensors to 10-pin terminal bar as shown on wiring
diagram.
Solar Temperature Sensor (optional)
Install sensor adjacent to solar panels. Connect sensor wires to the 10-pin terminal bar as shown on the wiring
diagram. Connect other sensors to 10-pin terminal bar as shown on wiring diagram. NOTE: If a solar sensor is not
installed, the solar button can be labeled and used as an auxiliary.
6. Connect heater to Low Voltage Terminal.
(All gas heaters or heat pumps with thermostatic circuitry of 24V AC or less)
a. If you are connecting a Low Voltage heater, connect two 18-gauge wires, designed for use in hot environments, to the
proper terminals on the 10-pin terminal bar. If you are connecting a High Voltage heater (not electronic ignition), you must
instead connect the heater to a high voltage relay on the Power Center.
b. Bring the 2 heater wires from the P.C. Board over to the heater and wire nut in series with heater circuitry as if you
were wiring a fireman's switch or a heater delay.
c. Turn the heater thermostat to maximum.
d. Turn heater toggle switch on.
e. Do not disconnect high limit or pressure switches.
NOTE: For connection to specific heater brands, please see the Heater Connection Installation Guidelines.
For Laars LX Heater (If the AquaLink RS has Rev. "I" or higher the LX must have a microprocessor
with Rev. "C-10" or higher)
a. Remove LX GUI from the heater and turn the GUI over.
b. Run 4 conductor cable (red, black yellow, green) from the LX GUI red 4 pin terminal bar to the RS Power Center red 4
pin terminal bar.
c. If connecting more than 2 items to the RS Power Center red 4 pin terminal bar, a Multiplex Kit is required.
d. Replace the LX GUI on the heater.
7. Connect All Equipment to P.C. Board.
Connect the high voltage relay plugs into their appropriate sockets according to the wiring diagram located on the
inside of the Power Center door or on page 34 of this manual.
8.
Set DIP Switches.
See page 14 to set DIP Switches for optional operation features.
9.
Turn on power to system, then connect 9-volt battery.
(Do not connect battery if power is not supplied to unit).
10. Install Power Center Faceplate.
Use the screws provided to install and secure the Power Center Faceplate on to the Power Center.
