Suitable for Pool Equipment Control and for Direct Connection of Underwater Lights
ELECTRICAL RATINGS: See inside Enclosure Door

Many of toda

y’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 operation 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.

The all-weather enclosure contains none one or
two heavy-duty, industrial grade Time Switches.
Also,

it has provisions to install switches or a
GFCI receptacle on the side as well as the inside.
The Time Switch can also accommodate an
optional heater control (fireman) switch.

The Control is designed to operate any pump,
within its rated capacity. However, if protection
to prevent dry start is required by the pump
manufacturer, it must be provided in addition
to this Control. Contact pump manufactur

er

if not sure and/or for more details.

DANGER! TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY:

...do not permit children to operate the Control Unit or use the Pool/Spa unless they are closely supervised at all times.
...test GROUND FAULT protection regularly. If it fails to reset, DO NOT USE THE POOL or SPA!

Contact a qualified service technician.

...always disconnect electricity before servicing this control or the equipment connected to it.

INSTALLATION

OPERATION

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Remove the four #10 hex head screws from the

back of the enclosure and attach mounting brackets
to enclosure.

2. Select the proper location for the Control and hang

enclosure on a flat vertical surface or other support,
using hardware suitable for the purpose.

3. Prepare the necessary conduit runs, terminate them

at both ends and pull in the conductors as specif

ied

by the installation layout.

4. Refer to Figure 1 below;

note that this enclosure
contains one or two Time
Switch(es). To wire the
panel, follow the wiring diagram located inside the
enclosure door

. Make sure that connections to time

switc

h terminals are tight (25 lb

.-in. minimum) and

insulation clears the pressure plate - see illustration.

5. If required by the heater manufacturer, install

fireman switch kit 156T4042A (not furnished)
on

Time Switch Plate and make the fireman switch

connections. Use at least #18 AWG wiring with
insulation rated 300 Volt or higher. Place heater
ON/OFF switch on heater to

ON (see Figure 2).

Some heaters may require a special connecting
har

ness,

contact hea

ter manufacturer

for details.

ditional wir

ing de

vices inside the
enclosure, first remove rectangular knock-out(s) in
dead front. Next, remove hex head screws in 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.

8. If external bonding is required, install a bonding

lug at bottom of enclosure and bond installation
according to code requirements.

9. Testing of the installation is optional and recom-

mended only if pump is securely in place and will
not be damaged by this test:

a. Turn the manual lever of the Time Switch to OFF.
b. Turn ON power at breaker panel.
c. Move the manual lever of Time Switch to the

right (ON). Pump should star

t and run on full speed

.

In case of unsa

TO SET FILTER PUMP TIME SWITCH, follow
instructions on the right. The length of the daily filtration/
heating cycle depends on many variables such as size, shape,
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.

THE FIREMAN SWITCH (Heater Protection Mechanism),
if required, is factory set and shuts OFF the heater 20
minutes before the Time Switch turns OFF the filter pump.
The Fireman Switch requires no setting or service.
