The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F
•
(38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during
•
the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water
temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an
•
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lad to
•
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
Obese persons and person with history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,
•
circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

Panel-Mounted Transceiver (PE650) Includes Antenna (PA118)
The main function of the Panel-Mounted Transceiver is to take commands
from the Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver (PE950) and hand them off to two
mechanisms (P1353ME and/or P4243ME) in the I-Wave Enclosure box. This unit
can control:
One P1353ME unit and one P4243ME unit
•
•
•
In cases where the two devices are too far apart for direct communication, a
Transceiver Repeater Module (HA04C) will relay commands between the two
devices. Shown here with its removable antenna (PA118).
The main function of the Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver is to transmit user
commands to the Panel-Mounted Transceiver (PE650) and display the status
of the equipment. The device can control up to ve loads, typically:
The three loads in the Three-Circuit Clock
•
The two relays in the Valve/Pump Switch, usually water temperature
•
controls for pool/spa
The actuators that switch between pool and spa
•
The unit oats if thrown in the pool or spa, is water-submersible, shock
resistant, and requires three (3) AA batteries. Expected battery life is about
one year in typical use.
The Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver (PE950) can only communicate with the Panel-Mounted
Transceiver (PE650) and Transceiver Repeater Module (HA04C), and is compatible with no
other hardware. In addition, when the components of a specic system are linked together into a
network, communication with another neighboring system cannot occur. Up to ve PE950 units
can be used in a single installation.
35-ft. Antenna Extension Cable Assembly (PA121)
When a structure impedes transmission between the Panel-Mounted Transceiver and Handheld Transceiver(s), you can use the 35-ft. Antenna Extension Cable Assembly (PA121) to
relocate the antenna from the Panel-Mounted Transceiver to the area of operation, ensuring that
communication between the Hand-Held unit and the control center is successful.
OMRON Relay Assembly (143T145A)
There are two OMRON Relay Assemblies (143T145A) in the Valve/Pump
Switch Mechanism (P4243ME) which switch either 120V or 240V loads.
These relays are replaceable and can be ordered separately.

Optional — Transceiver Repeater Module (HA04C)
The Transceiver Repeater Modules (HA04C) ensure that no problems in reception
occur between the Hand-Held Controller(s) (PE950) and the Panel-Mounted
Transceiver (PE650). Reception is affected by distance (about 100 feet, direct line
of sight) and by physical obstacles (like brick walls or structures). However, by
plugging in a Transceiver Repeater Module where necessary, long distances or
physical obstructions can be overcome.
Optional — Three-Button Wired Remote Control (133PE1484A)
The Three-Button Wired Remote Control (133PE1484A) plugs into either the
Three-Circuit Clock (P1353ME) or Valve/Pump Switch (P4243ME).
When installed as part of a system, it replaces the wireless method of controlling
the three circuits within the mechanism. For more information, refer to Installing

Add the Intermatic Freeze or Air Temperature Sensor (178PA28A) to installations
where below-freezing outdoor temperatures are a concern. Programming
information to incorporate the sensor is provided on page 35.
The following diagrams show several plumbing and wiring examples of installations for pool and
spa that share a single lter pump, lter, and heater. If you are installing a pool only or spa only,
these diagrams will not apply.
Special code requirements apply to your I-Wave
Control System. To ensure safe installation, please
follow all applicable national state, and local codes
when installing the Control Center.
Locate your Control Center near the pool/spa
equipment pad at least ve feet or more away from
either the pool or spa equipment and at least ve feet
off the ground.
Mounting brackets have been provided to assist you in
your installation.
NOTE: The Control Center is not to be considered
as suitable for use as Service Equipment. Therefore,
it is required to have the appropriate means of
disconnection, circuit isolation, and/or branch circuit
protection installed at the Main Power Panel.

Wiring the System Power
Run wire from the Main Power Panel
to your Control Center and connect the
leads to the Control Center Breaker Base.
See detail in Figure 3-2 at the right.
The breaker base of your Control Center
is capable of handling up to 125 amps.
You must comply with the applicable
local codes and use the proper gauge
wiring from your Main Power panel to
your control center breaker base. The
proper gauge wire will be determined by
the length of wire required and the 125
Max Amp rating.
WARNING: Potentially high voltages
in the Control Center can create
dangerous electrical hazards,
possibly causing death, serious
injury, or property damage. Turn
off the Main Power to the Control
Center to disconnect or service the
I-Wave Control Center.

Bonding the Control Center
Some state local codes require bonding the control center
to the bonding grid. If this is required, install a bonding lug
(156T11047A) to the Control Center enclosure and connect a
#8 solid copper core wire, to an approved earth ground, (i.e.
approved ground stake, or conducting metal water pipe buried
to a sufcient depth, etc.). See detail in Figure 3-3 at the right.
Wiring the Individual Equipment
Each piece of pool or spa equipment requires its own high voltage relay and associated circuit
breaker branch protection. Each circuit breaker should be sized according to your load and the
appropriate local codes.
The I-Wave Control System consists of two Intermatic snap-in mechanisms:
P1353ME — with three timed circuits each comprised of three SPST relays
•
P4243ME — with two on-demand circuits comprised of two DPST relays
•
Even though the three circuit clock can easily handle on-demand circuits, any equipment that
requires programmed ON/OFF times should be wired to the three-circuit P1353ME mechanism
(i.e., lter pumps, booster pumps, etc.). On-demand equipment (i.e., blowers, lights, etc.) should
be wired to the P4243ME valve-controller mechanism. This practice will maximize your control
capabilities.
All circuits are independent contacts. Therefore you can mix and match 120-Volt and 240-Volt
loads within each mechanism. Refer to the following illustrations for sample wiring diagrams.

Notes on Setting ON/OFF Times for Each Mode
General Note
The ON/OFF buttons were provided for service operations, and for circumstances where
•
instantaneous response is required. If the intent is to turn equipment on and off everyday at
the same time, programming individual events will make sure these functions take place.
All circuits will respond to a programmed off time. Therefore, when a circuit is turned on with
•
the ON/OFF button, it automatically turns itself off at the end of the next programmed event.
If there are no events programmed, the circuit stays on until the ON/OFF button is pressed
•
again.
If the ON/OFF button is pressed while the corresponding circuit is on, it turns the circuit
•
off and supersedes any program in progress. The priority is always given to the last manual
operation.
Four: Programming the Three-Circult Clock Mechanism 33
Notes on Setting ON/OFF Times for Each Mode (cont’d)
Mode 1 — (Aux1, Aux2, Aux3)
All three of the available circuits act independently, and up to three individual on/off times can
be set for each circuit independently.
Mode 2 — (Pump High, Pump Low, Aux 3)
In this mode circuits 1 & 2 are connect to a two speed pump, and Aux 3 is connected
independent of circuits 1 & 2. In the event that you program high and low speed to be on at the
same time or if their independent ON times overlap, high speed will always take precedence.
Example: Low speed is programmed to come ON at noon and run until 6 PM. High speed is
programmed to come on at 2 PM and turn off at 4 PM. In this case the pump will come ON
at noon in low speed, go to high speed at 2 PM, and back to low speed at 4 PM, and shut off
at 6 PM.
All manual ON operations for circuits 1 & 2 override all programmed ON times. Therefore, any
desired low and high-speed run combinations need to be programmed as separate events and
cannot controlled by combining the manual ON/OFF button with a scheduled event. The last
speed started manually has priority over all prior automatic and manual operations.
Example: You would like to run the pump in high speed for 6 hours and low speed for the
remainder of the time. Program a 6-hour event for high speed, and an 18-hour event for low
speed. Do not turn the low speed on manually, and program a 6-hour event for high speed.
The high speed will not occur.
Mode 3 — (Filter Pump, Aux2, Cleaner Pump)
The cleaner pump cannot turn on unless the lter pump has been on for at least 30 seconds.
Therefore, for any ON/OFF time programmed for the cleaner pump, the lter pump will come on
rst, followed 30 seconds later by the cleaner pump. Both the cleaner and lter pump will turn
off according to the programmed off time. When programming an event for the cleaner pump, it
is not necessary to program a separate event for the lter pump, as it will automatically turn on
when the cleaner pump turns on at its next scheduled on time.
Mode 4 – (Pump High, Pump Low, Cleaner Pump)
Mode 4 is a combination of Modes 2 and 3, so refer above to Modes 2 and 3 for programming
specics. Note that if the cleaner pump is programmed to come ON, the control will turn ON
the lter pump to high speed 30 seconds prior to turning the cleaner pump ON, even if the lter
pump is currently on in low speed.
Mode 5 – (Aux1, Aux3)
Both of the available circuits act independently, similar to Mode 1. Therefore you can set up to
three individual ON/OFF times for each circuit and they will act independently.
Mode 6 — (Aux1, Aux2, Aux3)
All three of the available circuits act independently, and up to three individual on/off times can
be set for each circuit independently. When the clock turns ON Circuit #1 due to a scheduled
ON time, the heater will not come on. The heater will come ON only when Circuit #1 is turned
ON manually.

Setting the Heater’s Cool Down Time (optional)
Overview
The heater’s cool down time is a time dened by the programmer. This time is dened as the
additional time the pump will run, over and beyond the desired pump OFF time, to make sure
the heater is cooled down before shutting off.
If the heater were to stay on after the pump had shut off, the water in the pipe could
boil, damaging the system. Refer to heater manufacturer for specific time.
If a cool down time is programmed, the cool down cycle will occur in all cases, even if the user
turns off the pump. To override the cool down time, press and release the ON/OFF key a second
time during the cool down cycle. The cool down feature only applies to Circuit #1, in all modes.
Procedure
Use the <PROGRAM> button to advance to the COOL
1.
DOWN setting, as shown. The default cool down time
is zero.
Use the <ARROW> buttons to modify the cool down
2.
time. The programming range is from zero to fteen
minutes and no seconds.
When you’ve set the cool down time, press the
3.
<ENTER> button to save and exit, or the <PROGRAM>
button to save and advance to the next programming feature.
The display will look like the example shown at the right
when the Heater’s Cool Down Time feature is activated. In
this example, the cool down time was set for 5 minutes,
and is in the process of counting down to zero, showing
minutes and seconds.
The AUX1 indicator is blinking, indicating that the Cool
Down feature is activated for Circuit #1. The Cool Down
feature only affects Circuit #1. When the countdown
display reaches zero, Circuit #1 will open and the time
display will change back to the time of day.
NOTE: You can override the Cool Down feature during countdown by pressing and releasing the
ON/OFF button associated with Circuit #1. This will end the cool down cycle and immediately
power off Circuit #1.

which circuits should come ON when the trip temperature is reached.
When programming is complete, , press the <ENTER> button to save and exit, or the
4.
<PROGRAM> button to save and advance to the next programming feature.
The display will look like the example shown at the
right when the Freeze Control feature is activated. In
this example, the freeze sensor was connected, enabling
the Freeze Control feature. Circuits #1 and #3 were
programmed to come on during a Freeze condition.
AUX1 and AUX3 will blink, indicating that the control
has activated these two circuits due to a freeze condition.
NOTE: You can override the circuits during a freeze condition by pressing and releasing the
corresponding ON/OFF buttons. This will turn the devices OFF. The override will only last one
hour, so if the freeze condition still exists after one hour, Circuits #1 and #3 will come back on.
NOTE: Freeze protection stays enabled until the outside air temperature exceeds the
programmed freeze temperature for more than one minute.

Installing the Three-Button Wired Remote Control
The Three-Button Wired Remote Control (133PE1484A) can be installed to plug
into either the Three-Circuit Clock (P1353ME) or Valve/Pump Switch (P4243ME).
When plugged into one of these mechanisms, it replaces the wireless method of
controlling the three circuits within the mechanism. For example, if you plug the
Three-Button Wired Remote Control into the Valve/Pump Switch, the two relays
and the actuators will no longer be controllable using the Hand-Held Wireless
Remote. The Three-Button Wired Remote Control must be installed where a third
mechanism is needed in the enclosure box, since the Wireless Hand-Held Remote Transceiver
can only control two mechanisms.
See illustrations below for connection detail.

Installing Other Wired Remote Connections (Master Switch)
You can install any ON/OFF switch to the sensor line to provide wired control of the two relays
and the Pool/Spa actuators in the Valve/Pump Switch (P4243ME), giving you dual control
(master switch and wireless) control of these circuits.
In use, a wired remote switch toggles all circuits to their opposite state. This means that if
Relays 1 and 2 are ON, and the actuator valve is in SPA, the wired remote switch will turn
Relays 1 and 2 OFF, while switching the actuator valve to POOL. It does this by toggling
Relays 1 and 2 and the actuator valve back and forth from their default state in order to return
the system to its default setting after the owner has made temporary changes to the settings.
For example, if using the phone while sitting in the spa, the owner may turn off the jets to
reduce noise. The next time the Master Switch is used, the jets will revert to being ON when
the system is in spa mode.
INSTALLATION ISSUE: If you want to change the default state for your installation and you
manually press the switches on the Valve/Pump Switch control panel, your changes will be
temporary with the wired remote switch (master switch) because it will return the circuits to their
factory default setting when it is activated, eliminating your custom settings.
Five: Programming the Valve/Pump Switch Mechanism 39
Therefore, if you want to make permanent changes to the factory
defaults, you must use the jumper, as shown at the right. Then the
wired remote switch’s return to defaults will not delete your changes.
The jumper rows control the position of the relays as follows:
J1 = Master Switch
•
Jumper on pins 1 and 2 sets the system default state to a
-
LATCHING Sensor Line. This is the factory default state.
Jumper on pins 2 and 3 sets the system default state to MOMENTARY Sensor Line.
-
J2 = Relay #1
•
Jumper on pins 1 and 2 sets Relay #1 to OPEN = OFF.
-
Jumper on pins 2 and 3 sets Relay #1 to CLOSED = ON.
-
J3 = Relay #2
•
Jumper on pins 1 and 2 sets Relay #2 to OPEN = OFF.
-
Jumper on pins 2 and 3 sets Relay #2 to CLOSED = ON.
-
J4 = Not used — for future implementation

Connecting the Heater Switch to Control Temperatures
Overview
The primary means of controlling the heater is using the Hand-Held Controller. If there is no
Hand-Held Controller in the system, the heater switch provides an alternate method.
This Switch can be also used in conjunction with the Hand-Held Controller to provide maximum
temperature limits for the pool and spa. Control by this Switch is primary over the Hand-Held.
Procedure
Wire the heater thermostats to the blue connectors visible
1.
on the front of the Valve/Pump Switch, as shown.
Set limits on the heaters themselves, so that when
2.
the Switch powers the heaters, they will reach the
temperatures you have set.
Make temperature adjustments at the heaters themselves.

Programming the Hand-Held Remote
Transceiver
Overview
The Hand-Held Remote Transceiver (PE950) is the focal point of user convenience. It’s waterresistant, shock-resistant, and is easy to program for handy remote control of the functions at a
specic pool-spa installation. An assortment of self-stick labels are provided to identify the
equipment you program into the ve control buttons. We suggest that you program the device
rst, then apply the appropriate label from the assortment supplied.
Synchronizing the Hand-Held Remote Transceiver with the
Panel-Mounted Receiver
When you’ve nished physical installation and wiring and have enabled power to the control
center, you need to synchronize the Hand-Held with the Panel-Mounted Transceiver. This is a
two step process: rst, delete any programming that might exist in the Hand-Held Remote and
Receiver, then synchronize the two devices with each other.
Deleting Any Existing Programming
This procedure deletes any existing programming from the Remote and Receiver units so they are
ready to be programmed into the network of this installation.
NOTE: If the word FAILURE instead of SUCCESS appears at the bottom of the screen during any of
the following steps, repeat the programming procedure, then try replacing the batteries in the
Hand-Held. If the problem persists, contact Intermatic Customer Service.
1.
Press and release any button on the Hand-Held Remote to wake it
from sleep. (The unit goes to sleep to conserve battery life when it
has been idle for 60 seconds.) The screen display on the Hand-Held
should look generally like the example on the right, though it may
display actual temperatures and settings.

device. Carefully repeat the two procedures Deleting Any Existing Programming (on page 41)
and Linking the Hand-Held Remote to the Receiver (on page 42). If the problem persists, contact
Intermatic Customer Service.
Testing I-Wave Reception
At the heart of the I-Wave system is Z-wave™ wireless technology. Test reception by walking
around the yard with the Hand-Held Remote and look on the screen to see if there are any areas
where STAT OK changes to STAT (which means the Hand-Held and the Control Center are no
longer communicating).
Signal reception between Hand-Held Controllers and the Control Center is affected by distance
(about 100 feet, direct line of sight) and by physical obstacles (like brick, wire lash in walls, or
steel structures).
If you identify any locations in the area of operation where communications problems occur
— typically when a structure blocks the line of sight between the Hand-Held and the Control
Center, install the 35-ft. Antenna Extension Cable (PA121) to relocate the antenna from the
Panel-Mounted Transceiver into the area of operation.

Installing and Configuring Optional Repeaters
When you have installed the Antenna Extension Cable and are
encountering further communications problems, typically if the home
owner wants to be able to use the Hand-Held Remote from inside the
house, order and install optional Transceiver Repeater Modules (HA04C) to
the system, plugging them into 120 volt electric outlets where available.
Repeaters can relay signals to bridge between a dead spot and the Control
Center.
NOTE: The relay between Repeaters and the rest of the system causes a
delay in response time. Wait a few seconds for commands you enter on the

Configuring Two or More Hand-Held Remote Transceivers
Many installations will nd it convenient to use two Hand-Held Remote Transceivers. Once you
have linked one Hand-Held to the Control Center, it’s easy to add a additional units.
NOTES: The rst Hand-Held you link to the Control Center is considered
the PRIMARY controller and all other units are SECONDARY. You can
tell the status of a controller from the VER (version) code at the top of
the display: the letter “P” = PRIMARY; the letter “S” = SECONDARY.
The PRIMARY controller must be used to “introduce” or link any
additional (SECONDARY) Hand-Held units to the Control Center.
If the PRIMARY controller must be replaced (due to loss, damage, etc.,), you must reprogram
from scratch to create a new PRIMARY controller, then reprogram any additional controllers as
SECONDARY controllers.
Press and release any button on the Hand-Held Remote to wake it
1.
from sleep. (The unit goes to sleep to conserve battery life when it

Programming to Protect a Pool Cleaner Pump
When you installed and wired the system, you may have included a cleaner pump along with a
spa (Mode 3) or with a two-speed lter pump (Mode 4).
You will want to make sure this pump is never powered on when the system is in spa mode.
The system can accommodate these two scenarios.
Press and release any button on the Hand-Held Remote to wake it
1.
from sleep. (The unit goes to sleep to conserve battery life when it
has been idle for 30 seconds.)
Press and hold the <P/S> and <CHLR> buttons at the same time for

NOTE: This button toggles between ON and OFF.
That’s all there is to it. When Mode 3/4 is set to ON:
The system will automatically turn the cleaner pump OFF any time the spa mode is
•
activated, protecting the cleaner pump.
If you switch to pool mode or to the high-speed pump mode, the system waits 30 seconds
•
before powering ON the cleaner pump, making sure there is enough water in the system.
Using Two Hand-Held Controllers to Operate the System
When two or more Hand-Held Controllers are being used to operate a system, each will
synchronize itself to the other according to whatever function the other controller has activated.
For example, if you press the <1> button on one controller, the following will happen:
Circuit 1 at the control center will toggle on or off, depending on its current state.
•
The number 1 will appear along the top of the Hand-Held Controller’s screen.
•
Then, a few seconds later, the number 1 will also appear along the top of the second
•
Hand-Held Controller’s screen.
The owner can add up to ve Hand-Held Controllers to a system.
