Bonding the Control Center

Some state local codes require bonding the control center

to the bonding grid. If this is required, install a bonding lug

(130PA1362) to the Control Center enclosure and connect a

#8 solid copper core wire, to an approved earth ground, (i.e.

approved ground stake, or conducting metal water pipe buried

to a sufcient depth, etc.). See detail in Figure 3-3 at the right.

Wiring the Individual Equipment

Each piece of pool or spa equipment requires its own high voltage relay and associated circuit

breaker branch protection. Each circuit breaker should be sized according to your load and the

appropriate local codes.

The I-Wave Control System consists of two Intermatic snap-in mechanisms:

P1353ME — with three timed circuits each comprised of three SPST relays

P4243ME — with two on-demand circuits comprised of two DPST relays

Even though the three circuit clock can easily handle on-demand circuits, any equipment that

requires programmed ON/OFF times should be wired to the three-circuit P1353ME mechanism

(i.e., lter pumps, booster pumps, etc.). On-demand equipment (i.e., blowers, lights, etc.) should

be wired to the P4243ME valve-controller mechanism. This practice will maximize your control

capabilities.

All circuits are independent contacts. Therefore you can mix and match 120-Volt and 240-Volt

loads within each mechanism. Refer to the following illustrations for sample wiring diagrams.
