Installation or Upgrade Context

A qualified pool automation professional should install the circuit board, relays, temperature sensors, valve actuators, and transceiver, then configure schedules and equipment labels. The handheld interface communicates wirelessly, while the power center, valve actuators, and connected equipment require wiring. Test reception at intended operating locations; walls, distance, and other obstructions can affect signal strength.

What’s Included

• Power-center circuit board with bezel.

• Two temperature sensors.

• Four additional 3HP equipment relays.

• Two Jandy Valve Actuators (JVAs).
