3. Remove the two screws holding the bezel in

place. Turn the bezel over to view the circuit

board on the back.

4. Locate the programmed chip on the Power

Center Board (the larger square chip in the

lower right corner of the circuit board). In the

center of the chip is the revision letter. If the

revision letter is "H" or higher go to step 5. If

the revision level is "G" or lower, replace the

chip. Directions for removal and installation of

the chip are provided in the new PPD Kit .

NOTE: If ordering a new programmed chip, be sure to

order the part number printed on the chip

currently in your RS control .

5. Use 22 gauge 4-conductor wire (WP/J part #

4278) to run between the heater and the RS

control, and match the wire color order.

6. The wires coming from the LX heater can be

“doubled up” on the red terminal bar with the

four wires coming from the indoor controller.

NOTE: If you need to install more than two wires in

each terminal, order a Waterpik Technologies/

Jandy Multiplex PCB Kit, which includes the

Multiplex Board (WP/J part # 6584). Never put

more than two wires into each of the pins of the

terminal bar.

7. On the heater's electronic control board, verify

that the water temperature sensor is connected

(J4), and that jumper is in place on W0.

8. Check all wiring, then apply power to both the

heater and the RS control system. Operation can

be verified in either Service or Auto mode. See

your RS Control System for instructions about

operation.

When the LX heater is first powered, the display on

the control will show "RS ONLINE". If there is an RS

control connected to the heater, it will sense the RS unit

and remain online. When the display shows "RS

ONLINE" all functionality of the control on the heater is

disabled. The heater functions can be controlled only at the

RS unit. However, sensor data is displayed at both the

heater and the RS unit.

To temporarily use the heater controls, use a thin

object to depress the button marked "RS SERVICE". The

"RS ONLINE" indicator will disappear from the heater

display. All functionality has now been returned to the

control on the heater. In this mode the RS unit has been

disabled. To return the functionality to the RS unit, push

the button again.

An interrupt (on/off) type remote can be connected

by removing the jumper wire on the terminal block located

in the control compartment (see Figure 8) and connecting

the two wires from the remote to the two terminals on the

terminal block. This type of remote control will turn the

heater on or off, but will not perform any other function.

Consult with Waterpik Technologies Service

Department with questions about installing remote

controls manufactured by companies other than Waterpik

Technologies.

2I. Water Piping

2I-1. Reversal of Heater Water

Connections

The LX and LT are shipped with water connections

on the right side, but they can be modified in the field to

provide left-side water connections. This procedure

involves removing the heat exchanger and reinstalling it

opposite to it's original position. Some of the heater wiring

and control components must be relocated, so this

procedure must be done only by a trained service

technician.

Heat exchanger reversals are generally done before

the installation of power and water to the heater. If you

need to reverse the heat exchanger on a previously

installed heater be sure that all electrical power and water

supply has been turned off before starting the procedure.

Water connection reversal is illustrated in Figures 13 and

14. Proceed as follows:

1.

Remove the heater front panel (door).
