EasyTouch Load Center Installation Guide
Connecting the Heater Thermostat
The following installation instructions are for gas heaters and heat pumps with low voltage
thermostats.
To connect the heater thermostat cable plug to the motherboard:
1. Run a two-conductor cable from the heater thermostat area to the low voltage raceway to
the motherboard in the EasyTouch load center.
2. Strip the conductors ¼ in. Insert the wires into the GAS HEATER two-screw terminals (J19)
on the motherboard. For wiring details, refer to “EasyTouch System Wiring Diagram,” on
page 23.
3. At the heater, connect the wires in accordance with heater manufacturer’s instructions. For
older heaters without instructions for remote operation, connect the wires to the Fireman’s
switch connections in series with the thermostat, pressure switch, and other safety
switches.
4. Do NOT disconnect or wire around the thermostat, pressure switch, high limit switch, or
other safety devices.
5. Select the pool or spa thermostat and toggle the heater to that setting.
6. Turn the thermostat for the selected setting to maximum.
