IGNITION CONTROL SPECIFICATIONS AND WIRING DIAGRAM
RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE
No less than 16 gauge wire for all installations
Note: There are numerous electrical devices that can be used to turn the re feature on and off. Devices such as wall
switches and remote control devices that are used should be UL listed and approved devices for turning high voltage (110
v electrical power) on and off.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: The Weather Beater Electronic Control
System operates on 12 Volts AC power.
DO NOT attempt to power using 110 Volts AC Power!
DAMAGE WILL RESULT!
Acceptable Input Voltages to Supplied 12 Volt AC Transformer
110 / 120 Volt AC
Read label on supplied transformer for
proper connection information.
Recommended Wire Size
16 gauge wire for all installations (30 feet maximum length)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The WBECS is supplied with a 12 volt all weather sealed
transformer of minimum 60 watts. If another transformer is
used it must meet be a Class ll 12 VAC, 5 amp, 60 watt or
larger for the unit to operate properly. A minimum 16 gauge
WIRING OF MULTIPLE WBECS
The WBECS has a red and a black wire protruding from
it. These are the power wires. When multiple WBECS are
connected, the polarity between them must be the same. To
achieve this, all of the red wires must be connected to the
same wire from the transformer and all of the black wires
connected to the other wire from the transformer as shown
in this illustration.
IT IS NECESSARY TO USE A HIGHER OUTPUT
TRANSFORMER WHEN CONNECTING TWO UNITS.
wire must be used for installations up to 30 feet in total line
length, and 12 gauge for installs up to 100 feet. It is highly
recommended to use dielectric grease or silicon to ll any and
all wire nuts used in installation of the WBECS.
