Section 1. Important Safety Instructions  
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS  
LIRE LA NOTICE TECHNIQUE.  
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:  
DANGER  
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.  
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. 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.  
WARNING  
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -  
a) 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.  
b) 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).  
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.  
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with  
the possibility of drowning.  
e) 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.  
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication  
may induce drowsines while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.  
WARNING  
Risk of electric shock - Install the power center at least five (5) feet (152.4cm) from the inside wall of the pool  
and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian 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.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
Danger d'electrocution - Les installations Canadiennes doivent se trouver à au moins trois (3) mètres de l’eau.  
Ne pas laisser les enfants utiliser une cuve de relaxation sans surveillance.  
Pour éviter que les cheveux ou une partie du corps puissent être aspirés, ne pas utiliser une cuve de relaxation si  
les grilles de prise d'aspiration ne sont pas toutes en place.  
Les personnes qui prennent des médicaments ou ont des problèmes de santé devraient consulter un médecin  
avant d’utiliser une cuve de relaxation.

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 (1.5 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.  
Water temperature in excess of 100°F/38°C may be hazardous to your health.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
Les personnes atteintes de maladies infectieuses ne devraient pas utiliser une cuve de relaxation.  
Pour éviter des blessures, user de prudence en entrant dans une cuve de relaxation et en sortant.  
Pour éviter l’évanouissement et la noyade éventuelle, ne prendre ni drougue ni alcool avant d’utiliser une cuve de  
relaxation ni quand on s’y trouve.  
Les femmes enceintes, que leur grossesse soit conrmée ou non, devraient consulter un médecin avant d’utiliser  
une cuve de relaxation.  
Il peut être dangereux pour la santé de se plonger dans de l’eau à plus de 38°C/100°F.  
Avant d’utiliser une cuve de relaxation mesurer la témperature de l’eau à l’aide d’un thermomètre précis.  
Ne pas utiliser une cuve de relaxation immédiatement après un exercice fatigant.  
L’utilisation prolongée d’une cuve de relaxation peut être dangereuse pur la santé.  
Ne pas placer d'appareil électrique (luminaire, téléphone, radio, téléviseur, etc) à moins de 1.5m de cette cuve de  
relaxation.  
La consommation d’alcool ou de drogue augmente considérablement les risques d’hyperthermie mortelle dans  
une cuve de relaxation.  
Il peut etrê dangereux pour la santé de se plonger dans de l’eau à plus de 38°C/100°F.  
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.  
CAUTION  
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 (3.3mm). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with  
a no. 8 AWG (4.115mm) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five (5) feet (1.52m)  
of the tub.  
CAUTION  
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-

Basic Plumbing  
2.3.1 Plumbing for Pool and Spa Combination  
The following plumbing diagrams illustrate  
simplified versions of standard plumbing setups  
for a pool and spa that share the same filter pump,  
filter, and heater. The intake and return Jandy Valve  
Actuators (JVAs) turn simultaneously so when the  
Spa mode is selected on the AquaLink RS PDA,  
water circulation switches between pool and spa  
(consult the Jandy Valve Actuator Installation and  
Operation Manual to ensure that the JVAs are  
synchronized and rotate properly). Please consult  
the Jandy Valve Plumbing Manual for further  
examples of pool/spa plumbing.  
Please note that if you have a pool only or a spa  
only, the diagram does not apply.  
NOTE When the filter system is shared (a Pool/Spa  
Combo), the spa water must be able to overflow  
into the pool.

NOTE Do not coil the JVA wires inside Power Center.  
To shorten the wire, remove the JVA cover  
and disconnect the wire. Shorten, strip, and  
reconnect.  
Drill 3/8" hole in pipe between lter  
pump and lter and install the Water  
Temperature Sensor per instructions  
(make certain the o-ring is in place).  
3.  
For alternate plumbing congurations the  
JVA cam settings can be adjusted as needed.  
See the Jandy Valve Actuator Installation  
and Operation Manual, Cam Setting Chart  
for proper settings.  
2.  
Install Air Temperature Sensor outside the  
Power Center can, not in direct sunlight and  
away from motors and other heat sources.  
3.  
4.  
Install Solar Temperature Sensor  
(optional) adjacent to solar panels.

PDA Transceiver J-box Installation  
Run the wire to the Power Center, through  
the low voltage raceway. Cut off excess  
wire. Strip the wire jacket back 6", then  
strip each wire ¼". Connect sensor wires to  
the green, 10-pin terminal bar (see  
Figure 17).  
Installation Considerations. The transceivers will  
transmit through walls and around corners. Steel  
framing, aluminum siding, wrought iron, cyclone  
fences, leaded glass, and other 900 MHz frequency  
items may inhibit/prevent communication between  
the AquaLink RS PDA Handheld Remote and the  
Power Center. The transceivers do not require  
line of sight to communicate. To optimize  
communication, install transceivers in a location  
that minimizes interference.

Battery Backup  
A nine-volt battery is located at the power center.  
The battery keeps the clock running during a  
power outage so the time and date will be correct  
when power is restored. Programming will not be  
lost even if the battery is dead. Do not install the  
battery in the power center until the system is ready  
to operate. Battery will drain if power is left off.  
Review DIAGNOSTICS in the SYSTEM SETUP  
section of the menu. The DIAGNOSTICS will  
indicate when the battery needs replacement.  
ATTENTION  
Special Note to Startup Person: The  
AquaLink RS PDA allows two (2) options for  
operating the pool equipment on the first day of  
operation:  
Option #1 - Once all programming of equipment  
is completed, the AquaLink RS PDA will  
automatically review all programs and turn on  
any equipment which is programmed to be on.  
Option #2 - To operate the filter pump or  
cleaner continually for the first day, leave the  
power center service button in AUTO mode.  
Using the PDA Handheld Remote, turn on the  
filter pump or the equipment you want to run.  
NOTE If the equipment has already been turned on  
by a program time, turn the equipment off  
and then back on.  
The equipment that is activated will run  
continuously, ignoring the first programmed  
off time, and will turn off at the programmed  
off time for the next day (only if a program has  
been entered).

PDA Quick Troubleshooting Guide  
The AquaLink RS PDA will stop communicating  
anytime interference (such as a 900 MHz device)  
prevents a valid signal transmission. When  
communication is lost the PDA Handheld Remote  
will lock on the startup screen until a good link  
is again achieved, usually within a few seconds.  
If communication is not reestablished within  
a few seconds or this happens often, use the

DIP #7 ON- Not Used  
Dip #8 ON- Heat Pump Instead of Gas Heater  
AquaLink RS PDA Handheld Remote  
display reads "CLEANER" rather than  
"AUX 1".  
Turn this switch ON if you have installed a heat  
pump instead of a gas heater. After thermostat  
setting has been reached, heater will remain OFF  
for 5 minutes.  
DIP #2 ON- AUX 2 Controls Low Speed of Filter  
Pump  
Turn this switch ON if you want to control both  
speeds of a two-speed filter pump. With this switch  
on, the filter pump button on the AquaLink RS  
PDA will control high speed and the HOT KEY 2  
(default) button will control low speed.  
IMPORTANT You must also install a Jandy Two-  
Speed Relay.  
DIP #3 ON- AUX 3 Controls Spa Spillover  
(Operates with Pool/Spa Combination)  
Turn this switch ON, and when the AUX 3 button  
on the AquaLink RS PDA (or Spa Side Switch) is  
pressed, the Return Valve Actuator will rotate to  
spa circulation. Because the Intake Valve Actuator  
does not rotate, the spa will fill with water and  
overflow into the pool.  
NOTE Leave AUX 3 relay socket empty.
