GENERAL INFORMATION
Model PF1102 Freeze Protection Control is self-contained in an indoor-outdoor, beige, rainproof
enclosure and designed to be connected to a timing or switching device. Together, they control as well
as protect the Pool/Spa equipment and
plumbing against freeze damage. The Control,
if wired according to instructions, turns ON
the Filter Pump when the air
temperature (where this Control is
located) drops below the temperature
set by the thermostat dial (between
32˚F and 45˚F). Nevertheless, the
Control is not intended to be a
substitute for the insulation, coverings or
maintenance.
Model PF1102M is a mechanism only,
functions just like Model PF1102 and
fits (snaps into) any Intermatic Pool
Panel, Models T10000R, T30000R or
T40000R Series. Both models are
designed to operate on 240 Volt, 60
cycle only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and operating this Product and other associated equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
ollowed.
f
. This Control must be installed by a qualified person, according to National and Local Electrical Codes.
1
2. Install this Control not less than 5 feet (3 meters in Canada) from inside edge of pool and 1 foot (30cm) above ground. USE
COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY rated minimum 75˚ C.
3. Do not exceed the maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices, and current carrying capacity of conductors.
. For Control grounding, bonding, installing and the wiring of underwater lights, refer to Article 680 of the National Electrical Code
4
or Article68 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
5. The Control should not operate any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property damage should it be activated
unexpectedly.
INSTALLATION - MODEL PF1102
1. Select the proper
outdoor
location for the
Freeze Protection Control and prepare the
necessary conduit run(s) required by the
installation layout.
2. Hang enclosure on a flat vertical surface or
other support, preferably next to the Switching
Device, using hardware
suitable for the purpose.
3. Properly terminate
conduits at both ends
and pull-in the

TERMINAL SCREW
MAKE SURE INSULATION
CLEARS PRESSURE PLATE
CONDUCTOR
conductors as specified by
the installation layout.
4. Follow wiring diagram on page 4 of this manu-
al and make LINE and LOAD (Pump) connections as shown. Wiring the Freeze Control,
first identify each lead by its color (Line:
and
Red
, LOAD:
Blue
and
Yellow
Black
), then
make wire connections by using twist on wire
connectors.
a. If the control device is an Intermatic 240 Volt
Time Switch, follow diagram on top of page
4 of this manual. Make connections to Time
Switch terminal block as shown in the insert
above for the proper wire termination.
b. If the control device is a Time Switch made
prior 1984 by Intermatic or made by another
manufacturer or it is other than a time switch
(air switch, contactor, etc.), first identify the
LINE and LOAD terminals (leads) of the
control and wire the two devices in
Parallel
,
as shown on bottom of page 4.
5. If the Freeze Protection Control is installed in
a location where it is exposed to direct sun most
of the day, extend 8 inches of the copper
capillary tube of the thermostat into an open
ended (plastic or metal) conduit about 10 inches
long, installed at bottom of the enclosure.
Handle capillary tube with care!
6. TEST INSTALLATION:
a. Turn the thermostat dial to its lowest setting
and place crushed ice (in plastic bag) inside
capillary coil of Thermostat.
b. Turn ON power to Control Panel, wait one
minute, then slowly turn thermostat dial
counterclockwise until Filter Pump starts.
c. Turn power OFF to Control, remove ice,
and check wiring. Tighten terminal screws if
necessary. Reinstall front plate.
d. Turn power ON to Control and set the
Time Switch and the Thermostat. See
OPERATION instructions below.
INSTALLATION - MODEL PF1102M
1. Install mechanism in any Intermatic Pool Panel
with only one Time Switch by snapping it into the
unused mounting bracket, furnished with the
Panel.
2. Follow steps 4 to 6 above, complete the
installation.
Make sure the installation is properly grounded.

TO SET THERMOSTAT, turn dial, pointing to
desired temperature between 32˚F and 45˚F,
marked on the plate. Remember, many
variables, such as the location of the Freeze
Protection Control, the location of equipment
and the pool or spa, the location and
insulation of the plumbing, etc., must be
considered before selecting the “turn ON”
temperature of the filter Pump. Your local pool
service professional is the best source of
information. The Thermostat is factory set to
turn OFF the Filter Pump when the ambient
temperature rises 5˚F above its set point.
TO SET TIME SWITCH, if Intermatic, follow
instructions on the right. If other than
Intermatic, follow instructions inside enclosure
cover. The length of the daily filtration/heating
cycle depends on many variables such as
size, shape, and geographic location of the
pool, water chemistry, type of pool equipment
usage and season of year. If not sure, contact
your local pool service professional for advice.
TIME SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. TO SET "ON" AND "OFF" TIMES:
Hold TRIPPERS against edge of
CLOCK-DIAL, pointing to time (AM or
M) when ON and OFF operations
P
are desired. Tighten tripper screws
firmly.
2. TO SET TIME-OF-DAY: Pull
CLOCK-DIAL outward. Turn in either direction and align
the exact time-of-day on the CLOCK-DIAL (the time now,
when switch is being put into operation) to the pointer.
• TO OPERATE SWITCH MANUALLY: Move MANUAL
LEVER below CLOCK-DIAL left or right as indicated by
arrows. This will not affect the next operation.
• FOR MORE THAN ONE DAILY ON-OFF OPERATION:
Place additional tripper pairs on CLOCK-DIAL (order
156T1978A).
• IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE: Reset CLOCK-DIAL
to proper time of day. See step 2 above.
