Section 1. Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: À WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly. Risk of electric shock, which could result in severe injury or death - Install the power center at least five (5) feet (1.52 m) from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian, Australian, and European installations must be at least three (3) meters from the water. + Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision + Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment. + People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub. 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 mm). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8 AWG (8.4 mm?) 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 mmÿ). When a Power Center is used to power or switch an underwater luminaire, suitable Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection for the lighting circuit shall be provided in the field. 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. 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 Page 4

Jandy® AquaLink® Wireless Handheld Remote | Installation & Operation Manual ENGLISH À 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 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat;

3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage

in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning. To Reduce the Risk of Injury - + The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) 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 100°F (38°C) + 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 affect 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. + Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of à spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning. + 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 5 feet (1.52 m) 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. Attention installer: ñ Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components. Page 5

3.3 Changing the Frequency Channel

À CAUTION ESD Precautions - Electrostatic discharge (ESD) events can harm electronic components inside your device. To prevent ESD damage, you should discharge static electricity from your body before you interact with any of your devices internal electronic components, such as a printed circuit board (PCB) or any connection terminals. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge: + When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body. + When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging. If your AquaLink handheld remote system is operating at undesignated times, another nearby remote system may be using the same or similar channel. To prevent unintended operation, the channel for your handheld remote system can be changed. The handheld remote and the transceiver J-Box must be set to the same RF channel.
