Important Safety Instructions
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state,
and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction ttings of your spa or hot tub.
Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction ttings are broken or missing. Never replace a
suction tting with one rated less than the ow rate marked on the equipment assembly.
WARNING: Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal
body temperature of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting,
drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure
to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant
women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury —
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.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since
•
some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood
pressure, and circulation.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock – Install the control center at least ve (5) feet (152.4cm) from
the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian installations
must be at least three (3) meters from the water.

•
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
•
Safety 3
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 5
•
feet (1.5m) of a spa or hot tub.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in
•
hot tubs and spas.
Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be hazardous to your health.
•
WARNING: A terminal bar marked “GROUND” is provided with the control center. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric
service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor having green insulation and one
that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, nut no smaller than

Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver (PE950)
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)

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
box, since the Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver (PE950) can only control two mechanisms.
Optional — Freeze (Air Temperature) Sensor (178PA28A)
a Wired Remote Connection in Section 4. The Three-Button Wired Remote
Control must be installed where a third mechanism is needed in the enclosure
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.

Control Center Installation
Mounting the Control Center
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.
Three: Control Center Installation 13
Figure 3-1Figure 3-1
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

Low-Voltage Underwater Lights
CAUTION: Your I-Wave Control Center is equipped with a Low Voltage Raceway. You
must use this raceway for all low voltage wiring. You cannot mix high and low voltages
in the high voltage compartment.
Figure 3-9 Figure 3-10 Figure 3-9 Figure 3-10
NOTE: If you require a low voltage transformer, you should order system model PE45343RCT1
(with a 100 watt transformer) or PE45343RCT3 (with a 300-watt transformer). Alternatively, you
can order a 300-watt PA124 or 100-watt PA123 12V transformer kit to mount in the standard
system model PE45343RC. (See Figure 3-10.)
If required by local code, install a GFCI receptacle and connect the neutral and hot wire, from
1.
the circuit breaker, to the LINE side of the GFCI. (See Figure 3-10.)
Connect the light to the secondary side of the transformer.
2.
Connect the neutral (white) on the primary side of the transformer to the load side of the
3.
GFCI.
Connect the hot (black) as follows:
4.
To the LOAD side of clock,
a.
Then out the LINE side of the clock to the LOAD side of the GFCI. (See Figure 3-10.)

Low-Voltage Wiring
CAUTION: Your I-Wave Control Center is equipped with a Low Voltage Raceway. You
must use this raceway for all low voltage wiring, including the 12 Volt wires from the
transformer. You cannot mix high and low voltages in the high voltage compartment.
Water Temperature Sensor
The I-Wave Control System comes equipped
with a Water Temperature Sensor. This
sensor is needed to monitor and maintain
both the pool and spa water temperature
depending on the position of the diverter
valves. It needs to be installed in order for
the thermostat control to work. Power needs
to be disconnected when connecting the
temp sensor. Only an Intermatic Sensor
will work with this controller. Follow the
directions below to install and mount your
water temperature sensor. Refer to page 46
for programming instructions.
Drill a 3/8” hole in the pipe between the
1.
lter pump and lter and install the Water
Temperature Sensor with hose clamp (not
provided). Ensure the O-ring is in place.
Run the wire to the Control Center, through the low voltage raceway. Connect both wires to
2.
Figure 3-11Figure 3-11
the Panel-Mounted Receiver. (See Figure 3-11.)
Freeze Sensor
The I-Wave Control System uses an optional Freeze
Sensor (178PA28A) for measuring air temperature and
implementing the Freeze Protection Circuit—necessary
for the freeze protection circuit and programming to
work. Power must be disconnected when connecting
the Freeze Sensor. Only an Intermatic Freeze Sensor
will work with this controller. Refer to page 35 for
programming information, and page 10 for ordering
information.
Install the Freeze Sensor outside the Control Center,
1.
preferably onto a piece of conduit at or near your
equipment pad. Use the clip provided with the
sensor. Do not install in direct sunlight or around
motors or other heat sources.
Run the wire to the Control Center through the low
2.
voltage raceway. Connect Freeze Sensor directly
to the back of the three-circuit clock mechanism.
(See Figure 3-12.) Refer to page 26 for connection
information.
