The short circuit current rating of this panel board is 10,000 symmetrical amperes.
Man
y of today’s energy efficient pools and spas
utilize the advantages of a single electrical
panel, containing all the necessary controls for
the safe, efficient and automatic oper
ation of
the pool/spa equipment. In addition, this panel
can also be used to control any outdoor
equipment, sign or pump within its rated
capacity.
As an option this all-weather enclosure
contains the hea
vy-duty
, industr
ial g
r
ade
P1353ME Digital Time Clock. It also comes
standard with a break
er base f
or up to eight full
siz
e circuit break
ers
. In addition, it has
provisions to install wiring devices inside, as
well as a switch or GFCI receptacle on the
outside.
The P1353ME Digital Time Clock (optional) is
designed to oper
ate an
y pump
, within its r
ated
capacity. However, if protection to prevent dry
star
t is required b
y the pump man
ufacturer, it
m
ust be provided in addition to this control.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Remove the #10 hex head screws from the out-
side back of the enclosure and attach mounting
brackets.
2. Select the proper location for the control panel
and hang enclosure on a flat vertical surface or
other support. When mounting the enclosure, be
sure to use hardware capable of supporting its
weight.
NOTE: The Panel will accept the main feed,
through the
Ef
, 1, 1 fQinch knockouts at the
bottom of the enclosure or through the 1-
Ef
inch knoc
kouts on the back of the enclosure. A
dimple on the top of the enclosure provides a
pilot hole for o
verhead entrance into the panel.
The overhead entrance must use a listed
outdoor conduit hub and must be mounted at
the time of installation.
3. Prepare the necessary conduit runs, terminate
them at both ends and pull in the conductors as
specified by the installation layout. If this control
is used f
or direct conduit connection to a wetniche or no-niche luminaire, order one of the
following:
1/2” non-metallic - order 156PA13713A
3/4” non-metallic - order 156PA13714A
1” non-metallic - order 156PA13715A
1/2”
metallic - order 156PA14336A

Time Clock installed, the
P1353ME is not included on all models. See
door panel for the specific configuration and
rating of the model you are installing.
A breaker base for up to eight full size circuit
breakers is included on all models. To wire the
panel, f

5. If required b
y the heater man
uf
acturer
, the P1353ME
includes a connection f
or a fire-man s
witch. This
switch only works in conjunction with circuit
#1(Load #1) on the P1353ME.

er to pages 6
& 7 of the P1353ME Instr
uction Manual for
connection information, and refer to page 28 for

or
mation. Use at
least #18 A
WG wiring with insulation rated 300
volt or higher. Some heaters may require a
special connecting har
ness
, contact heater
man
ufacturer for details. Place heater ON/OFF
switch on heater to ON position.
6. To install additional wiring devices inside the
enclosure, first remove rectangular knock-out(s)
in dead front. Next, remove hex head screws
inside back of enclosure and install stand-offs*
in place of screws. Attach wiring device to
stand-offs.
*Stand-offs are not furnished. Order 21T156A for a set
of four (4) stand-offs and mounting hardware.
7. If external bonding is required, install a bonding
lug at bottom of enclosure and bond installation
according to code requirements (Order
156T11047A for Bonding Lug Kit).
8. Testing of the installation is optional and recom-
mended only if the desired loads are securely in
place and will not be damaged by this test:
a. Turn ON power at breaker panel.
b. P1353ME display should fully illuminate and
then start to blink 12:00AM provided the
memory hold-up capacitor is discharged.
Otherwise, it will displa
y the time
.
c. Push each of the ON/OFF buttons to verify
devices cycle on and off.
In case of unsatisfactory results, turn OFF
power, check your wiring, refer to
Troubleshooting on Page 3.
9. Install front panel o
ver wiring compartment.

External Wired Remote Accessory
Part Number 133PE1484A
(not included with all models)
The New Intermatic Wired Remote Control
allows you to control the P1353ME from a
remote location. Included with the
Wired Remote Control is a label
arrangement allowing you to identify
each button specific to your pool or
spa equipment pad. The new wired
remote control comes standard with
100 foot of cable and is designed to slip fit
into any standard 1 1/2” conduit adapter.This remote
works in conjunction with the P1353ME and displays
feedback information on the present state of the pool
or spa equipment pad.
For more information refer to instructions provided with
the accessory.
Freeze Probe Accessory
Part Number 178PA28A
(not included with all models)
The New Intermatic Freeze Probe allows
you to protect your pool or spa
equipment during an
unexpected freeze condition.
T
he freeze probe comes with
a 10 foot cable and plugs into
the back of the P1353ME. The
P1353ME can be programmed
to turn on each or all-individual
loads at any desired outside temperature.
Heater Protection (Fireman) Switch is
standard with each P1353ME.
It comes standard with a Fireman Switch
connection for your pool or spa heater.
Simply connect the two wires from your
heater thermostat to the back of the
P1353ME. The fireman switch is only
associated with circuit one on the
P1353ME, therefore the filter pump should
be connected to circuit one. Program the
time desired for the cool down period and
the P1353ME will take over.
For more details, refer to P1353ME
Instruction Manual.
