INSTALLATION
The controller and sensing unit should be securely mounted on a sound surface.
The controller should be mounted within 5 feet of a 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded outlet.
The controller can be wired up to 300 feet from sensor unit (contact ACT for
exceptions). ACT recommends mounting the controller in the most favorable
environment possible.
The standard well sensing unit is installed at the water level of the pool. The
center of the clear ½” PVC tube on the sensor unit should be at the normal
operating water level of the pool. An isolated static water line from the pool to
the sensor unit is necessary to provide stable water conditions. A valve
arrangement is provided. The valves are installed so that the operator may
maintain and clean the sensing unit.
The sight glass sensing unit is installed by attaching the unit to a balance tank
sight glass. The sensor should be mounted at normal operating water level of the
balance tank using the attached clic connectors.
The wet well sensing unit is installed in a 2” PVC pipe which serves as a still
water stand pipe from the pool. The normal water level should sit approximately
1.5” up from the bottom of the end cap.
The surge tank sensing unit is installed in the surge tank at normal operating
water level with the included clic connectors. The normal water level should sit
approximately 1.5” up from the bottom of the end cap.
The deck well sensing unit is installed at pool side. The unit has a ½” static line
sight glass inside to attach a sight glass sensing unit to, which is also provided.
The deck well is connected to the pool using a 2” static line. Conduit connection
and drain connections are also present to make installation quick and easy.
The 3 conductor extension cable provided with the system is the electrical
connection for the sensor unit to the controller. With the standard well, sight glass, wet
well and deck well, a terminal strip is provided in the sensor housing for terminating the
cable (please see wiring diagram for color connections located inside sensor box for
standard well, sight glass, wet well, and deck well applications). The other end of the
cable terminates inside the ELC-810. The interconnecting cable carries low voltage.
Local codes may require the cable to be housed in conduit.
