Power Supply Connection

1. The Power Center receives 120 VAC from the main electrical panel through a dedicated circuit breaker.
2. Wire nut the incoming 120 VAC power to the system power connection inside the Power Center.
3. The RS transformer converts 120 VAC to 24 VAC for the control circuit. The orange 24 VAC power plug from the transformer plugs into a 3-pin terminal on the back of the Low Voltage Bezel (PCB).
4. A ground terminal bar marked "GROUND" is provided. Connect it to the grounding terminal of your electrical service with a continuous green-insulated copper conductor, no smaller than #12 AWG.
5. A #8 AWG copper bonding wire must connect to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 5 feet of the pool or spa.

Green 10-Pin Terminal Bar

The green 10-pin terminal bar is the central connection point for all low-voltage sensor and heater wiring. Terminals are numbered 1-10 from right to left. The exact pin assignments are shown in the wiring diagram on the inside of the Power Center door (Section 5, Figure 5 in the manual).

Sensor connections

• Water temperature sensor: Connects to designated terminal pair on the 10-pin bar. The sensor installs in a 3/8" hole between the filter pump and filter with the provided clamp and O-ring.
• Freeze/air temperature sensor: Connects to designated terminal pair. Install outdoors in ambient air, not in direct sun.
• Solar temperature sensor (optional): Connects to pins 7 and 8. Install adjacent to solar panels. Requires S1 DIP #7 ON.

Heater connections

• Pool heater: Two #14 gauge wires (rated for hot environments) connect from the designated heater terminals to the heater, wired in series with the heater's fireman's switch connection.
• Spa heater: Connects via the Spa Heater Interface Board, which plugs into the Spa Heater socket on the PCB.
• Factory wire loop: Terminals 1 and 2 have a factory-installed wire loop that must be removed before connecting heater wires.

Relay Socket Layout

The PCB has labeled sockets for plug-in relays. Each socket provides 24 VDC output to energize the relay coil when the corresponding equipment is commanded on.

Socket Position	Function	Notes
Far left	Pool Filter Pump	Always the leftmost socket
AUX 1	Auxiliary 1 / Cleaner (if S1 DIP #1 ON)	Cleaner mode adds 3-min delay and auto-off behaviors
AUX 2	Auxiliary 2 / Low Speed (if S1 DIP #2 ON)	Requires Jandy Two-Speed Relay for 2-speed operation
AUX 3	Auxiliary 3 / Spillover (if S1 DIP #3 ON, dual)	Leave socket empty when spillover is enabled
AUX 4-6	Auxiliary equipment	General purpose relay sockets
After AUX 6 (far right)	Spa Filter Pump	Dual equipment systems only
Additional sockets	Solar Pump, Spa Heater	Per wiring diagram

JVA (Valve Actuator) Sockets

Jandy Valve Actuators plug into dedicated 24 VAC output sockets on the PCB:

• Intake JVA: Controls the intake valve for pool/spa switching
• Return JVA: Controls the return valve for pool/spa switching
• Cleaner JVA: Controls the cleaner line valve
• Solar JVA: Controls the solar diverter valve

Do not coil excess JVA cable inside the Power Center. To shorten the cable, remove the JVA lid, disconnect the cable, cut to length, strip, and reconnect. Run JVA wires through the low-voltage raceway.

Control Panel Cable

1. The Jandy Control Panel Cable is a multi-conductor cable that runs between the wall-mounted control panel and the Power Center.
2. If the cable will run underground or through concrete, it must be in conduit. Never run high-voltage and low-voltage cables in the same conduit.
3. At the Power Center end, pull the cable into the low-voltage compartment. Strip back the cable jacket 6 inches. Strip each individual wire 1/4 inch.
4. Wire each conductor to the PCB according to the wiring diagram in Section 5, Figure 5 of the manual. The terminal bars are labeled: "To Controller," "To Remote," and "To Sensors, etc." with associated wire color codes.

Additional PCB Connections

• Service Controller Connector: Connects to the main controller for diagnostics.
• Multiplex PCB Connector: For optional multiplex board connection (expands system capabilities).
• Grounding Bar: All ground connections terminate here. Must be bonded to the building ground per code.
• System Power: 120 VAC input connection point.
• Low Voltage Raceway: Compartment for routing low-voltage wiring. Keep low-voltage and high-voltage wiring separated.

Grounding and Bonding Requirements

• Connect the "GROUND" terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electrical service panel with a continuous green-insulated copper conductor no smaller than #12 AWG (3.3mm).
• Bond with a #8 AWG (4.115mm) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 5 feet (1.52m) of the pool or spa.
• If the system controls underwater lighting, a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) must be provided. Load-side conductors of the GFCI must not share conduit or boxes with unprotected conductors.
