Installation Mounting ECOMMAND 4 Control Center The ECOMMAND 4 is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes require). The Control Center is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount the ECOMMAND 4 inside a panel or tightly enclosed area. When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the temperature sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m) long. Temperature Sensors Three sensors are included with the ECOMMAND 4. A water sensor and an air sensor must be installed at all times for proper operation. A solar sensor is required if the solar function is enabled. Water Sensor This sensor is used to measure the pool/spa temperature and is installed in the filtration plumbing after the filter but before either the solar or conventionally fueled heaters-refer to the plumbing overview diagram. 1. Drill a 3/8" (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs. 2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole. 3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not overtighten. 4. For maximum temperature accuracy, cover the sensor and 3" (6cm) of pipe on either side with insulation and white paint. Air Sensor Mount the air sensor outdoors. IMPORTANT: Mount the air sensor out of direct sunlight. Solar Sensor For solar applications, mount the sensor near the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same sunlight as the collectors. Use additional cable (20 AWG) if necessary. 3 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
