I'm trying to install a relay to control the heater for my Hayward HM400ED2, and I'm having trouble determining where I should run the NO and COM wires from the relay to the heater... This particular heater has a control for Spa and Pool, so my understanding is that once I've got it wired up, I'll want to set it to SPA, and set the temp control (manual dial) to as hot as it will go. Here are some photos:

Got it, so I think I just need to wire the NO and COM wires to one of each side of the break in the RED wire (where the wiring diagram reads "Connection for field installed control switch")? Am I understanding that right?
