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 purification chemicals.

• 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 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 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.

WARNING

Improper gas heater installation or maintenance can cause nausea or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide in flue gases which could result in severe injury, or death. For indoor installations, as an additional measure of safety, Zodiac Pool Systems LLC strongly recommends installation of suitable Carbon Monoxide detectors in the vicinity of this appliance and in any adjacent occupied spaces.

1.2 Pool Pump Suction Entrapment Prevention Guideline

WARNING

Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spa, or hot tubs if a suction outlet cover missing, broken, or loose: The following guidelines provide information for pump installation that minimizes the risk of injury to users of pools, spas, and hot tubs:

Entrapment Protection: The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazards of suction entrapment.

Suction Outlet Covers: All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in place. All suction outlet (drain) covers must be maintained. Drain covers must be listed/certified to the latest version of ANSI®/ASME® A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. They must be replaced if cracked, broken, or missing.

Number of Suction Outlets Per Pump: Provide at least two (2) hydraulically-balanced main drains, with covers, as suction outlets for each circulating pump suction line. The centers of the main drains (suction outlets) on any one (1) suction line must be at least three (3) feet apart, center to center. See Figure 1.

The system must be built to include at least two (2) suction outlets (drains) connected to the pump whenever the pump is running. However, if two (2) main drains run into a single suction line, the single suction line may be equipped with a valve that will shut off both main drains from the pump. The system shall be constructed such that it shall not allow for separate or independent shutoff or isolation of each drain. See Figure 1.

More than one (1) pump can be connected to a single suction line as long as the requirements above are met.

Water Velocity: The maximum water velocity through the suction fitting or cover for any suction outlet must be 1.5 feet per second unless the outlet complies with the latest version of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16, the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs. In any case, do not exceed the suction fitting's maximum designed flow rate.

If 100% of the pump's flow comes from the main drain system, the maximum water velocity in the pump suction hydraulic system must be six (6) feet per second or less, even if one (1) main drain (suction outlet) is completely blocked. The flow through the remaining main drain(s) must comply with the latest version of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16, the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs.

Testing and Certification: Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest version of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16, the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs.

Fittings: Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings (but at least two (2) suction outlets).

Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap.

Pool cleaner suction fittings must conform to applicable International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO ^® ) standards.

4.5 Bonding

Zodiac Pool Systems LLC., requires that the AquaLink TCX power center be connected to a “bonding loop” that includes all electrical equipment in the system and on the equipment pad. Bonding lugs must be connected with a solid copper wire not smaller than 8 AWG (6 AWG in Canada). Failure to do so may void the Zodiac Pool Systems LLC warranty.

CAUTION

To prevent premature failure of the equipment resulting from stray voltages and voltage differentials, the AquaLink TCX power center must be bonded to other equipment which is part of the pool plumbing system with a solid copper wire not smaller in diameter than 8 AWG (6 AWG in Canada).

Additionally, in the United States the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) and in Canada the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), require that all metallic components of a pool structure, including reinforcing steel, metal fittings and above ground components be bonded together (forming an equipotential bonding grid) with a solid copper conductor not smaller than an 8 AWG (6 AWG in Canada).

The NEC and CEC also require that the equipment and/or appliances associated with the pool water circulating system, including, but not limited to, pump motors and heaters, be bonded together as part of the equipotential bonding grid. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC provides special labeled bonding lugs on the bottom of the power center to accommodate this requirement.

After bonding the electronics to the grounding lug, installer must verify ground continuity using a multimeter.

Bonding lug is provided with kit and should be installed no higher than 2 inches from the bottom of the enclosure. Use a 1/8" drill bit to intall hardware.
