Pentair Max E Therm wire routing- RS-485 & high voltage

[LV Desert Pool]

Getting ready to install this Max E Therm heater and can't find anything in the instructions on whether I can run the RS-485 com port wiring in the same weathertite conduit as the 120/240VAC wiring going to my Intellicenter??

My concern is to insure that the EM from the high voltage may interfere with the RS-485 signals.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

No, do not put them in the same conduit.

Run separate conduit.

Never mix high voltage and low voltage wiring in the same conduit.

It is not necessary to put a 2 wire, typically 18 gauge, RS-485 wire in conduit.

Thanx Guys. Pentair Tech support's guidance was to "ask the inspector".
