A flexible way to control external heat
sources for your spa
Our new system interface lets you select, use and
synchronize alternative heat sources to efficiently keep the
spa water warm. Also acts as a hub to connect up to five
single button switches.
Connected to the Y series, in.grid gives you the advantages
of using alternative heating sources. Connected to the
CO port of your spa control system, in.grid will act as a
dispatcher of external heating sources such as your heat
pump or your central house heating system.
With in.grid, you can choose one of its four modes of
operation that suits you the best, depending on your
external heating system and your climate . Smart modes
help you taking more advantage of your external heat
source to optimize your savings.
in.grid also features ports to connect up to five single
button switches to control your spa accessories.

System connection
The in.grid does not need any external power supply or electrical connection.
For a basic system configuration, simply connect the in.link cable of the in.grid into a CO connector of a compatible
spa control system.
Compatibility
• in.grid is compatible with all in.ye and in.yt versions.
• in.grid requires software core 61 revision 46 or higher to operate properly.
in.grid connection with accessories
If you have a lot of accessories, the in.link cable of the in.grid with 4 single button switches and a CO port can also be
connected to any CO port of any device on the communication chain, like illustrated below, for example.
Connections
Turn off the power before connecting the in.grid to the spa control system.
Please note if you have the in.grid with 5 single button switches model, this must be the last device on your
communication chain because you don't have the CO port to daisy chain other devices.

The in.grid provides a connection to a normally open dry-contact relay on a spring-loaded female connector.
The connector accepts bare wire connections. The cable must be passed through the already installed watertight
grommet. Use wire gage between AWG 24 and AWG 16.
Use cable with round jacket suitable for the watertight grommet. Diameter should be between 0.090'' and 0.250''.
The dry contact is rated for low voltage of maximum 24V and 4A.

IMPORTANT: Your heat pump or gas heater must have all the flow and temperature limit protections.
Your heat pump or gas heater must be connected to your Y series spa control system. Make sure to always
connect your external heating system in the same water pipe filter of your spa control system heater
(as illustrated above).
The unit must be installed after your spa control system (as illustrated above).
You need to be sure your pump heater or gas heater is set to the maximum set point temperature. Your water
temperature regulation will be controlled with your spa control system, by adjusting the set point on
the spa keypad.
The in.grid dry contact should be hooked to the input for wire remote temperature control of the external
heating system. Your voltage must be below 24 V.
If the in.grid controls are used with a gas heater, the remote temperature control input is usually called
“fireman's switch”.
