Power Connections:
To wire the WPC-1 use insulate
COPPER wire only, 12 gauge minimum.
Run a ½” to ¾” conduit from the main
breaker panel to the WPC-1. Pull
appropriate wires from the main breake

anel to the WPC-1 unit. To make powe
connections remove 3/8 inches of
insulation from wire ends. Insert the bare
end of wires under the pressure plate o
terminals (Power Input, HOT). Use 1/8­in. flat head screwdriver to tighten
terminal screws firmly (4.4 lb-in
minimum). Connect the house common
to the Power Inputs NEUTRAL terminal.
Connect another HOT wire to the
Timeclocks T/C POWER terminal.
Connect a house common to the
Timeclocks T/C NEUTRAL. Install a 20
Amp circuit breaker in the main breake

anel and connect the HOT wires from
the WPC-1.

Power Connection with GFCI
To wire the WPC-1 with the use of
GFCI, punch out the GFCI knockou
on the side of the WPC-1 enclosure.
Install an outdoor rated GFCI. Using
COPPER wire only, 12 gauge
minimum, connect the GFCI from the
LOAD side to the HOT terminal on
the POWER INPUT of the WPC-1.
Connect the NEUTRAL from the

LOAD side of the GFCI to the
NEUTRAL terminal from the WPC-1.

Connect the GROUND of the GFCI to
the EQUIP. GND. bar. Wire the HOT
from the GFCI’s LINE side to the
20Amp circuit breaker in the main

reaker panel as discussed earlier.

Connect the NEUTRAL from the
GFCI’s LINE side to the house
common. From the GFCI’s LINE
side, connect a wire from the HOT to
the Timeclocks T/C POWER
terminal. From the NEUTRAL of the

LINE side on the GFCI, connect to the
T/C NEUTRAL on the terminal block.
NOTE: Do not connect the Timecloc

Inputs to the LOAD side of the GFCI.
