System Control Center Wiring
ROUTING OF THE WIRES
The high voltage and low voltage wiring must be run
separately, never sharing the same conduit or installed in the
same compartment. The high voltage wires must be copper
conductors sized for the required equipment current draw.
NOTE: All of the electrical wiring methods and materials
used to complete the electrical installation of the Balboa
Poolux must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code or the Canadian Electric Code, as well as any local
electrical codes in effect at the time of installation.
The selection of electrical materials required to accomplish
this installation and the installation of the Poolux System
must be accomplished by, or be under the direct supervision
of a qualified electrician.

CONNECTING SYSTEM CONTROL CENTER TO
MAIN ELECTRICAL PANEL
The System Control Center contains a circuit breaker sub-
panel that is rated for a 100A service connection. Branch
circuit protection and a means to disconnect the AC power
must be installed in the AC main lines prior to the System
Control Center.
Run the conduit from the Power Supply Panel of the house
to the System Control Center. There are two (2) knockouts
on the bottom of the enclosure for 1” conduit. Pull the
appropriately rated conductors (L1, L2, Neutral and Ground)
and connect them to the line terminals in the System Control
Center per Fig. 12 System Control Center Wiring.
DO NOT HOOK UP THE CONDUCTORS TO THE HOUSE POWER
SUPPLY PANEL UNTIL ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR
ALL LOADS (MOTORIZED VALVES, HEATERS, PUMPS, LIGHTS,
ETC.) HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
This will assure that all conductors are not energized during
the installation.
BONDING THE SYSTEM CONTROL CENTER
A bonding bar is provided on the bottom right corner on the
outside of the System Control Center enclosure below the
GFCI. This is for connecting to the local common bonding
grid in the area of the pool and spa. It is suitable for use
with either #8 AWG or #6 AWG copper wire. Use the gauge
appropriate to the code requirements in your area.
THE SYSTEM CONTROL CENTER IS A PERMANENTLY CONNECTED CONTROL.
