WARNING
Turn power off at main panel before servicing this switch or the equipment it controls. This control panel must be
installed according to the National Electrical Code and local code requirements. Use MIN 75˚C Copper conductors ONLY.
Install interchangeable circuit breakers with an interrupting current rating of 10000 symmetrical amperes, or higher.
Follow manufacturers instructions for installing and testing of ground fault circuit breakers (GFCB) and interrupters
(GFCI). Install only LISTED receptacle(s) and/or wiring device(s) inside the enclosure. When panel is outdoors, a LISTED
rainproof cover must be installed over the wiring device in the side knockouts. This control should not be connected
to any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property damage should it be activated unexpectedly.
Reinstall safety guard after wiring.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This Pool Equipment Control is designed to automatically operate the Filter Pump, Cleaner Pump and also to provide
freeze protection for the pool equipment. Nevertheless this product is not intended to be a substitute for insulation,
coverings, or maintenance.
THE FILTER PUMP TIME SWITCH is located in the upper
left side of the enclosure and operates the Filter Pump, as
set by the trippers on the yellow dial, on a 24 hour
schedule. For setting the schedule, refer to page 3 of this
Manual.
THE FIREMAN SWITCH (heater protection mechanism) is
located next to the manual lever and its function is to stop
the heating process 20 minutes before the Time Switch
turns OFF the Filter Pump. By doing so, the circulating
water cools the heat exchanger thus preventing excess
heat build-up.
THE CLEANER PUMP TIME SWITCH is located in the
upper right side of the enclosure and operates the Cleaner
Pump (Booster Pump). The trippers of this Time Switch
should be set so that the operation of the Cleaner Pump
falls within the operation of the Filter Pump. To avoid
equipment damage, the two Time Switches are interlocked
and the Cleaner Pump would not operate unless the Filter
Pump is already operating.
THE FREEZE PROTECTION THERMOSTAT is located in
the lower left side of the enclosure and turns ON the Filter
Pump when the air temperature (where the Control Panel
is located) drops below the temperature set by the dial
(between 33˚F and 42˚F).
CAUTION
Risk of injury or property damage!
Do not install or operate this equipment and other associated equipment without basic safety
precautions.
Read and follow the safety instructions listed below and other basic safety precautions before
installation or operation of this control and other associated equipment.
1. This control must be installed by a qualified person, according to the national and local electrical
codes.
2. Install this control not less than 5 feet (3 meters in Canada) from inside edge of pool and 1 foot
(30cm) above ground.
3.USECOPPERCONDUCTORSONLYrated75˚Cminimum.
4. Do not exceed maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices and current carrying
capacity of conductors.
5. For control grounding, bonding, installing and the wiring of underwater lights, refer to Article 680
of the National Electrical Code or Article 68 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
6. The control should not operate any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property
damage should it be activated unexpectedly.
INSTALLATION
1. Select the proper location for the Control Panel and
prepare the necessary conduit run(s) required by the
installation layout.
2. Remove the four #10 hex head screws from the back
of the enclosure and attach mounting brackets to
enclosure.
3. Hang enclosure on a flat vertical surface or other
support, using hardware suitable for the purpose.
4. Properly terminate conduits at both ends and pull-in
the conductors as specified by the installation layout.
5. Follow wiring diagram on page 4, connect 240 Volt
Supply to LINE 1, LINE 2, NEUTRAL (if needed) and
EQUIPMENT GROUND to the terminals so indicated.
PRESSURE
6. Insert a 20 or 30 Amp 240 Volt
circuit breaker into the Breaker Base
and connect leads to Terminal TB1 on
the left, see insert for proper termination.
7. Connect Filter Pump leads to terminals 2
and 4 of Filter Pump Time Switch and
Cleaner Pump leads to terminals 2 and 4 of Cleaner
Pump leads to terminals 2 and 4 of Cleaner Pump Time
Switch. Connect the grounding leads of each pump to
the Equipment Grounding Terminal at the bottom of the
enclosure.

11. 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 20 seconds
then slowly turn thermostat dial counter-clockwise
until Filter Pump starts.
c. Using the manual lever on Cleaner Time Switch,
turn ON-OFF the Cleaner Pump.
d. Turn OFF power to Control Panel, remove ice,
check wiring, tighten terminal screws if necessary,
reinstall time switch insulators and front plate.
e. Turn ON power to Control Panel and set time
Switches and the Thermostat, see OPERATION
instructions on page 3.
8. If the Control Panel is installed in 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!.
9. If external bonding is required, install a bonding lug at
bottom of enclosure and bond installation according to
code requirements.
10. If required by the heater manufacturer, follow his
instructions and make the fireman switch connections.
Use at least #18 AWG wiring with insulation rated 300
Volt or higher. Connect heater ON/OFF switch in series
with the fireman Switch and turn switch on heater to
ON.
