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.
6. F
or dir
ect wir
ing of underw
ater lights, refer to
1999 NEC 680-21(b), 2002 NEC 680-24(b) or
CEC 680-060,
062 and 066 f
or fur
ther details.
7. T
o install ad
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
tisf
actory results, turn OFF power,
check your wiring, refer to Troubleshooting on Page 3.
10.Install fr

ver wiring compar
tment.
The contr
ol is now ready for programming,
see OPERATION section on Page 3.
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.
