1 Introduction
This section provides essential information for the end user. For technical details and installation procedures, refer to the Technical Specifications at the end of this document.
2 What is the P20B29 Control Box
The P20B29 is a Joyonway electronic control box for hot tubs, designed for multi-pump systems (up to 4 pumps). It manages massage pumps, heating, filtration, blower, lights, and ozone system. It is located in the hot tub equipment compartment and is connected to the PB553 control panel.
3 Electrical Connection
The electrical installation of the control box must be performed exclusively by a qualified electrician, in compliance with local electrical codes and regulations.
System Requirements
| Requirement | Single Phase | Three Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage | 220-240V~ 50Hz | 400V ~ 50Hz |
| Residual Current Device | Dedicated 30mA | Dedicated 30mA |
| Circuit Breaker | 32A C curve | 16A per phase |
| Cable Size | 3G4mm² | 4/5G2.5mm² |
| Earth Connection | Mandatory | Mandatory |
DANGER: Do not attempt to make electrical connections yourself. Incorrect wiring can cause electrocution, fire, or irreparable damage to the control box.
Power Supply Type
The P20B29 operates at 220-240V and supports three electrical configurations. The choice depends on the required power and available electrical system.
| Configuration | Voltage | Current | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Phase | 220-240V~ | 1x32A | Standard residential installations |
| Three Phase 220V | 400V ~ | 3x16A | Loads distributed across 3 phases |
NOTE: The P20B29 does NOT support direct 400V power supply. It only operates with 220-240V voltage. If the system is three-phase 400V, phases must be taken to neutral (230V each).
3.1 Standard P20B29 Connection (single-phase 220-240V + earth)
Note: this is the standard configuration and no jumper modifications are required during installation.
3.2 Three-Phase P20B29 Connection
3.3 Jumper Configuration
Electrical configuration is done via jumpers PJ1, PJ2, PJ3 on the board. CONFIGURE BEFORE CONNECTING POWER.
| Configuration | Voltage | Current | PJ1 | PJ2 | PJ3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Phase | 220-240V~ 50Hz | 1x32A | J8-J9 | J4-J6 | J3-J5 |
| Three Phase | 220-240V~ 50Hz | 3x16A | J8-J9 | J4-J7 | - |
WARNING: Configure jumpers BEFORE connecting power. Incorrect configuration can damage the control box.
Post-Installation Verification
After installation by the technician, verify that:
- The status LED on the control box is lit
- The panel display turns on and shows the temperature
- No error codes appear
- The pumps respond to commands from the panel
- The heater activates when requested
