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 lead to

•

unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

Obese persons and persons 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. 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.

Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision.

•

Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair

•

entrapment.

People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a

•

physician before using a spa or hot tub.

People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.

•

To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.

•

Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid

•

unconsciousness and possible drowning

Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot

•

tub.

Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health.

•

Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate

•

thermometer.

Do nut use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.

•

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, not smaller than no. 12 AWG (3.3mm). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8 AWG (4.115mm) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within ve (5) feet (1.52m) of the tub.

WARNING: A ground-fault circuit-interrupter must be provided if this device is used to control underwater lighting xtures. The conductors on the load side of the ground-fault circuitinterrupter shall not occupy conduit, boxes or enclosures containing other conductors unless the additional conductors are also protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. Refer to local codes for complete details.

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 the two circuit boards in the Mini-Wave enclosure.

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).

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:

Four or ve relay loads depending on the conguration

•

The actuator for a water feature

•

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.

8 Mini-Wave PE4 Installation Guide

The Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver 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 specic 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.

Eight-Setting ON/OFF Clock (PB313EK)

35-ft. Antenna Extension Cable Assembly (PA121)

from the Panel-Mounted Transceiver to the area of operation, ensuring that communication between the Hand-Held unit and the control center is successful. The Mini-Wave includes this antenna extension cable assembly.

The Eight-Setting ON/OFF Clock (PB313EK) that accompanies the MiniWave PE4 system provides timer control of Relay 1 or Relay 2, depending on the version, for one of the Pump/Valve Control mechanisms. An additional clock can be installed in the steel enclosure if desired, providing timer control of a second circuit.

The clock can be programmed for up to eight ON/OFF settings.

When a structure impedes transmission between the Panel-Mounted Transceiver and Hand-held Transceiver(s), you can use the 35-ft. Antenna Extension Cable Assembly (PA121) to relocate the antenna

OMRON Relay w/24VDC Coil & 2-pin Connector (143T145A)

There are four OMRON Relay Assemblies (143T135A) in the Mini-Wave PE4 Control System which switch either 120V or 240V loads. These relays are replaceable and can be ordered separately.

Control Center Installation

Mounting the Control Center

Special code requirements apply to your Mini-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.

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 100 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 100 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 Mini-Wave Control Center.

Figure 3-2Figure 3-2

Bonding the Control Center

Part Number 156T11047A

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 sufcient depth, etc.). See detail in Figure 3-3 at the right.

Three: Control Center Installation 13

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 Mini-Wave PE4 Control System consists of:

Four Omron relays, each providing an on-demand circuit, one on a timer.

•

One Intermatic clock (PB313EK), capable of controlling the Relay 1 or Relay 2 circuit,

•

depending on the version, with up to eight ON/OFF settings.

Equipment that requires programmed ON/OFF times is already wired to the rst or second relay (i.e., lter pumps, booster pumps, etc.). On-demand equipment (i.e., blowers, lights, etc.) should be wired to the remaining three relays.

All circuits are independent contacts. Therefore you can mix and match 120-Volt and 240-Volt loads within the enclosure. Refer to the following illustrations for sample wiring diagrams.

High-Voltage Equipment Wiring

Your Mini-Wave PE4 control system is capable of handling both 120VAC and 240VAC equipment loads. For 240VAC equipment loads, connect the power to the two (2) line terminals and connect equipment power to the two (2) load terminals on the same relay. For 120VAC equipment loads, connect power to a line terminal and connect equipment to a load terminal on the same relay.

Low-Voltage Wiring

CAUTION: Your Mini-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.

Low-Voltage Raceway

In order to comply with the National Electric Code, you must use the Low-Voltage Raceway when connecting any low-voltage connection to the Mini-Wave Control Center. Your Mini-Wave Control Center comes equipped with this Low-Voltage Raceway, allowing you to isolate high and low-voltage wiring. This raceway is most typically used for running the Fireman’s switch wires, Water Temperature Sensor Lines, and actuator connections. (See Figure 3-7.)

Water Temperature Sensor

The Mini-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.

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,

2.

Section 4:

Programming the Clock

Overview

There are two revisions of the upper and lower control boards. The difference between these two revisions is the relay the Pump Timer controls.

On System Rev. #1, the Pump Timer controls Relay #2.

•

On System Rev. #2, the Pump Timer controls Relay #1.

•

Please check to see which revision you have and connect your pool/spa equipment accordingly. You should connect your Filter Pump to the relay controlled by this timer so that you can program ON and OFF times for your lter pump cycle.

An additional clock can be installed in the steel enclosure if desired, providing timer control of a second relay. The second relay will control relay #5 (System Rev. #1) or Relay #4 (System Rev. #2). See page 8 for ordering and installation procedure.

Four: Programming the Clock 21

The clock can be programmed for up to eight ON/OFF settings.

Setting Time of Day

Press and hold the CLOCK button.

1.

Press the HOUR button to advance the clock to the correct hour of the day. Repeat with the

2.

MIN button.

NOTE: Take care to observe correct AM and PM settings.

Release the CLOCK button when nished. The time is now set.

3.

Programming ON/OFF Settings

Press the TIMER button to enter the rst ON time. The clock screen displays the the number

1.

“1” and the word ON, indicating that it is ready for you to set the ON time for the rst setting.

NOTE: If previous ON/OFF settings have been programmed, the clock will display them, and your new programming will revise them. If the clock has not been programmed before, the screen will display “__ __ : __ __” as you begin the programming procedure.

Press the HOUR button to advance the clock to the ON time you want to set, followed by the

2.

pressing the MIN button to complete the time setting.

NOTE: Take care to observe correct AM and PM settings.

Again, press the HOUR button to advance the clock to the OFF time you want to set,

4.

followed by the pressing the MIN key to complete the time setting.

Repeat Steps 1-4 to set additional ON/OFF times.

5.

When nished, press the CLOCK button to exit programming mode.

6.

Placing the Clock in Timer Mode

Press the SELECT button until the indicator bar, visible at the bottom of the screen, is above the word AUTO. The clock will now turn Relay 1 or Relay 2 ON and OFF according to the ON/OFF settings you have programmed.

Overriding the Timer Settings

You can manually turn Relay 1 or Relay 2 ON or OFF.

Press the SELECT button repeatedly until the indicator bar, visible at the bottom of the screen, is above the word:

ON — to immediately power Relay 1 ON.

•

OFF — to immediately power Relay 1 OFF.

•

The clock will continue to operate in Manual Mode until you change the clock to Timer Mode.

Changing the Clock Battery

The factory-installed lithium clock battery will last for years in normal service, and will rarely need changing. In addition to this battery, an internal nickel-cadmium battery — which receives its charge from the main battery — maintains clock settings for a limited time when the main battery fails.

Use the following procedure to replace the main battery.

Remove the timer from the enclosure,

1.

allowing you to gain access to the rear of the timer.

Using a small screw driver, pry the battery

2.

Programming the Hand-Held Remote Transceiver

Overview

The Hand-Held Remote Tranceiver (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 specic 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 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 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.

The two devices are now linked together within the network you have installed.

NOTE: If the two devices have not successfully reset or linked together — and you are seeing only the word STAT on the left side of the screen — it’s likely that old programming still exists in either device. Carefully repeat the two procedures Deleting Any Existing Programming (on page 28) and Linking the Hand-Held Remote to the Receiver (on page 29). If the problem persists, contact Intermatic Customer Service.

Testing Mini-Wave Reception

At the heart of the Mini-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).

Antenna Extension Cable

Assembly (PA121)

If you identify any locations in the area of operation where communications problems occur — typically when a steel 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.
