SAFET Y PRECAUTIONS
FCC STATEMENT
The Warnings, Cautions, and Notes contained in this
manual have the following significance.
WARNING
Maintenance or operating procedures and
techniques that may result in personal injury,
illness, or death if not carefully followed.
CAUTION
Maintenance or operating procedures and techniques
that may result in damage to equipment and/or minor to
moderate personal injury if not carefully followed.

cause damage or injury to the fetus.
Limit spa use to 10 minutes at a time.
This equipment has been tested and complies with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy. Correct installation and proper use
greatly reduce the likelihood of harmful interference to
radio communications, although it does not diminish the
possibility entirely.
If harmful interference is detected when turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: (1) Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna;
(2) Increase the separation between the equipment and
the receiver; or (3) Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a different circuit from the one to which the receiver
is connected.
The user is cautioned that changes and modifications
made to this equipment without the approval of the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.
PREVENT DROWNING
Spa heat speeds up effects of alcohol, drugs or
medicine, and can cause unconsciousness.
Leave spa immediately if uncomfortable or sleepy.
PREVENT CHILD DROWNING
Water attracts children.
Keep unsupervised children away from pool and
spa by installing a safety gate or cover.

Important Water Safety Instructions
When installing and using this Control System, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including those
listed below:
READ & FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
The effects of hyperthermia include:
Unawareness of impending hazard.
Failure to perceive heat.
Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa.
Physical inability to exit the spa.
Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of drowning from hair
or body entrapment, assure that the suction fittings,
skimmers and main drains in the spa or pool connected to
this Control System are approved for the application.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove
the suction fittings or main drain covers. Never operate
the spa or pool if these covers are broken or missing.
WARNING - Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme
caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized
access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that
children cannot use the spa or pool to which this Control
System is connected unless they are closely supervised
at all times.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:
A. The water in a spa to which the Control System is
connected 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 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, the user should measure the
water temperature with an accurate thermometer
since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating
devices vary.
D. Prolonged immersion in water hotter than 104°F
(40°C) may cause hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal body temperature reaches a level
several degrees above 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.
4
E. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly
increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
F.
Leave the spa immediately if nausea, dizziness or
headaches occur. Immediately cool the body by taking
a cool shower or by applying cold towels or ice packs.
If the symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
G. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or
during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning.
H. 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.
I.
Persons using medication should consult a physician
before using a spa since some medication may induce
drowsiness or may affect heart rate, blood pressure,
and circulation.
Occasional users of the spa should be made aware
of these important Safety Instructions.
WARNING: People with infectious diseases should
not use a spa or pool.
WARNING: To avoid injury, exercise care when entering
and exiting a spa or pool.
WARNING: Do not use a spa immediately following
strenuous exercise.
CAUTION: Maintain water chemistry to provide safe
bathing environment.

Important Electrical Safety Instructions
When installing and using this Control System, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including those
listed below:
READ & FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.
DANGER - Risk of electric shock. Before
making any electrical connections, make certain that
the Main Power breaker from the house breaker box
has been turned off.
2.
DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock. Do not
permit any electric appliance, such as a light,
telephone, radio, or television within 5' (1.5m) of a
pool or spa.
3.
WARNING - All electrical work must be
performed by a qualified electrician and must
conform to all national, state, and local codes.
4.
Do not install or service this equipment if
precipitation is present or imminent.
5.
Install the System Control Center in an area that is
not subject to flooding.
6.
Install the System Control Center and all other high
voltage components at least 5' (1.5m) from the inside
wall of the pool or spa. Canadian installations must
be installed at least 3 meters from the inside wall of
the pool or spa.
7.
A terminal marked “GROUND” is provided within
the System Control Center enclosure. To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal to the
grounding terminal of the electric supply panel with
a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent
in size to the circuit conductors supplying this
equipment, but no smaller than #12 AWG.
8.
9.
A bonding wire connector is provided on the outside
of the System Control Center to accommodate the
connection of a min. #8 AWG solid copper conductor
(#6 AWG in Canada) between this unit and the local
common bonding grid in the spa and pool area.
Additionally, any metal equipment, metal ladders,
metal enclosure of electrical equipment, metal water
pipe, or conduit within 5' of the unit or within 5' of
the pool (3 meters in Canada) must be connected to
the bonding wire connector.
The electrical supply circuit connected to the
System Control Center must be equipped with a
suitably rated disconnect device - a circuit breaker, a
GFCI circuit breaker, switch or other device capable
of opening all ungrounded conductors in the supply
circuit. This disconnect must be installed at least
5' from the pool or spa, but be within sight of and
readily accessible to the user.
10. This Control System provides the temperature
regulation for the pool and spa. The heater that is
connected to the control center must have its own
safety circuit that includes high temperature
limit switch(es).
11.
A suitably rated circuit breaker or a GFCI circuit
breaker, must be installed in the electrical supply
circuit connected to the System Control Center. This
circuit breaker may also provide the disconnect
function referenced in item 9 if it meets the sight
and accessibility criteria.
12. This control system is provided with an Integral
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter for the underwater
lighting circuit. It is located on the right side of the
control enclosure under a Weather-Tite cover.
This GFCI must be tested before each use of the pool
or spa. To test the GFCI, follow the following steps:
1. Turn on the underwater pool lighting circuit.
2. Press the ‘RESET’ button fully.
3. Check the underwater lights to be sure they
are illuminated.
4. Press the ‘TEST’ button in order to trip the GFCI.
The ‘RESET’ button will pop out and the
underwater lights will go out.
5. Press the ‘RESET’ again and the underwater lights
will again be illuminated.
If this GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is
a ground current flowing indicating the possibility
of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until
the fault has been identified and corrected. Do
not use the pool or spa until these problems
have been corrected.

Poolux Wireless Panel Cradle Installation Option
The Wireless Panel comes with a charging cradle that can be installed on a wall inside the home for a convenient
display while charging. Installing the cradle is not necessary to charge the panel; it can be charged independently from
the cradle with the charge cord.
INSTALLING THE WIRELESS PANEL CRADLE
The cradle must be mounted in a location where it receives a strong signal at all times. Check to see that the panel receives
a strong signal in the location you are considering prior to installation by holding the panel against the wall and checking the
signal there. This will ensure that if a noteworthy problem occurs at the pool, the panel will be able to alert
the homeowner.
1.
Find a suitable location for mounting the cradle. The location should be convenient for the homeowner and near an
electrical outlet.
Avoid mounting the cradle near the following:
A. heat sources
B. areas of excessive moisture (such as a bathroom)
C. television sets and other electronic equipment
D. cordless telephones
E. personal computers
F. microwave ovens
G. electric motors
H. other wireless devices
2.
Mount the cradle with the included mounting hardware as follows:
A. For sheetrock or plaster:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Hold the cradle on the wall in its desired location.
With a pencil, mark a dot on the wall in the center of each mounting hole.
Drill two 3/16” holes (1/2” to 3/4” deep) in the wall where the dots are located.
Insert the plastic anchors into the two holes. Tap the anchors with a hammer until only the round head shows.
Hold the cradle over the anchors and secure by screwing the two screws into the anchors.
B. For wood surfaces:
1.
2.
3.
4.
3.
Hold the wall bracket on the wall in its desired location.
With a pencil, mark a dot on the wall in the center of each mounting hole.
Drill two 3/32” holes (1/2” to 3/4” deep) in the wall where the dots are located.
Hold the cradle over the drilled holes and secure by screwing the two screws into the holes.
Using the Wireless Panel Cradle
A. Plug the charge cord into the bottom of the cradle and into an electrical outlet.
B. Set the wireless panel in the cradle. It will snap into place, and is held magnetically.
C. Press the Select button on the wireless panel to wake up the wireless panel if the display is blank.
D. When the wireless panel is not in use, placing it on the cradle will ensure that it stays fully charged, has a good
signal, and can alert the homeowner to any problems in the pool.
NOTE: Whenever the wireless panel is on the cradle or connected to the charge cord, the display will not sleep and will remain on.
