Alarm contacts

The SMART SYSTEM control closes another set of contacts
whenever the heater is locked out or the power is turned off.
This can be used to turn on an alarm, or signal a Building
Management System that the pool heater is down.

Wiring of the cascade

When wiring the heaters for Cascade operation, select one
heater as the Leader. The remaining heaters will be designated
as Members. See page 48, Configuration of the Cascade for a
detailed explanation of this procedure.

The return sensor of the Leader heater should be placed in the
main system piping loop, upstream of the water being supplied
to all the heaters (see FIG.’s 4-5, 4-6, and 4-7). The return
sensors on the remaining Member heaters may also be placed
in the same location as the Leader or they can be placed in each
Member’s PVC piping loop in the Alternate sensor location,
using the tapped sensor hole (FIG. 4-3). Should the Leader
heater ever need to be replaced with one of the Member heaters
in the Cascade, that Member’s sensor should be relocated to
the previous lead heater’s supply sensor location for optimum
operation of the cascaded units.

The supply/limit sensors of all cascaded heaters MUST be placed
downstream, in the main system piping loop in the blended
water, going out to the pool (FIG.’s 4-5, 4-6, and 4-7). The
supply/limit sensor also serves as a high temperature limit for
pool supply water and failure to locate all sensors in the blended
water going out to the pool could result in higher temperature
water than desired being discharged to the pool.

If an external thermostat or BMS is being used to enable or
disable the cascaded heaters, the external thermostat or BMS
should be connected to the Leader heater’s S1 input, located on
the low voltage terminal board (see FIG. 5-5). Jumpers on all
Member heaters should be left in place.

Communication between the Leader and the Member
heaters is accomplished by using shielded, 2-wire twisted pair
communication cable. Connect one of the twisted pair wires to
terminal A on each of the low voltage connection boards, and
the other wire of the twisted pair to terminal B on each of the
low voltage connection boards. Connect the shield wire to the
shield ground terminal on all of the heaters. If more than two
heaters are on the Cascade, daisy chain the wiring from the
Cascade terminals on the second heater to the Cascade terminals
on the third heater, then from the third to the forth, and so
on. The connections can be made in any order, regardless of
the addresses of the heaters. Try to keep each cable as short as
possible.
