Intellicenter heater

[adam.engel01]

Hello all. I recently acquired a pentair intellicenter. I have a heat pump I’m trying to wire in. I’m assuming the heater will go straight to the breaker so it has constant power but what I’m confused about is the diagram on the door shows electric heater next to the aux ports and below the gas heater connection. It’s a 2 wire with a plug. Bit there is no plug to that port. Is this a special wire I need to get or do I run it through a relay.

Welcome to TFP.

What heat pump do you have?

You wire the heat pump 2 wire control to the gas heater relay circled below in blue.

The electric heater is for a restive type true electric heater, not a heat pump.

The heater is an electric heat wave super quiet. This was taken off a house that had a gas heater. In the picture you can see they had one of the relays labeled heater. Do I need to go from the breaker to the relay? Or just run the control wire from the heater straight to the gas heater plug?

Have you looked at the installation manual?

Which display do you have?

It is aquacal. Slide 5 button display. I keep trying to research this but keep coming up empty handed.

See page 27.

2-wire control connected to IntelliCenter gas heater relay.

Wire HP 240V power directly to circuit breaker.

See if your HP has the RS-485 connector for the Aquacal SMART Contoller...

Also, read AquaCal Heat Pumps - Further Reading

If you have the RS-485 control ability, then use that instead of the 2-wire control.

Thank you! This is extremely helpful.

Let me know how it works out.

So I finally got around to doing this but apparently I have the 4 button heat pump not the 5. This is the manual but I see nothing about being able to control it through the intellicenter. https://www.aquacal.com/wp-content/...) heatwave and aerotemp (100-120-135-155).pdf
