REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
CAUTION: Before installing remote controls to the RP2100 Digital Heater, read the following:
The Raypak RP 2100 Digital Heater is remote ready in most cases. The digital liquid crystal display (LCD)
shows the actual pool temperature, operating status, and service codes (See examples below). The touch pad
on the control panel allows you to select the desired pool or spa temperature. It also indicates when a remote
system is controlling the heater by displaying REM in the display. When connecting the RP2100 Digital to a
remote system, identify whether it is a two- or three-wire remote system. Select the appropriate instruction
listed below to properly install the remote to the heater.

REMOTE OPERATION
The RP2100 Digital heater is equipped with the ability
to work with external remote controls. The Raypak
supplied 7-pin remote wiring connector supplies power
out to either a toggle switch or the switch contacts of a
third party remote. The remote works by either making
or breaking the circuit created by the remote wiring.
Typically, a remote does not supply power to the heater,
it only provides a switching function to turn the heater
on or off. If your remote is suppling its own voltage to
the heater, it will not work with the RP2100 and may
damage the digital circuit board.

Note: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage can be caused by direct
or indirect contact with the wiring or circuit board. When one walks to
the heater area, an electrostatic charge accumulates on the body.
Contact of a finger allows the body to discharge, possibly causing
device damage. This damage can be limited if the service person
discharges himself by removing that charge by adhering to ESD
preventative/removal practices and reducing that charge by holding on
to the heater enclosure for 5 seconds before proceeding.
Press and hold all three buttons for 5 to 7 seconds.
ACTIVATING THE REMOTE
The RP2100 digital has the ability to disconnect from
the remote it is wired to. To activate or deactivate the
remote follow these steps:
The digital display format will change and indicate
REMoff or REMon.
Press either temperature button to switch remote modes.

IMPORTANT - Please Read
When the heater is to be controlled by a remote you
must choose REMon and the heater thermostat dis-
play must be in the OFF mode. If the heater thermostat
is left in a heat mode the heater will operate to this
setting and the remote shut-off feature will not be
functional.
