STEP #1
IDENTIFY LOW VOLTAGE ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
AND SET PROPER VOLTAGE SELECTION
Freeze Probe
Connection
– This connector
is where you would connect the Intermatic
Freeze
Sensor
Part Number 178PA28A (optional). It needs to be installed in order for the freeze protection circuit and
programming to work.
Power needs to be disconnected when connecting the freeze sensor.
Only
an Intermatic sensor will work with this controller. Refer to Page 31 for programming information.
Heater Firemen Switch Connection
– This connector is where you would connect the two
firemen
switch wires
that connect
to the
Pool/Spa
heater. The
installer
supplies
the wires
and
connectors. The connectors should be female spade connectors crimped to insulated type
wire. This connection is a SPST contact that simply provides a switch closure for the Remote
Activation Wires coming from the heater. It does not supply voltage to the heater thermostat.
Refer to Page 30 for programming information.
Special Features
Setting The Countdown Timer
The countdown timer allows you to turn on a desired
load for a predefined amount of time without interrupting
or setting a new On/Off event. This feature is useful when
chemicals are added to the pool or spa water, and the
pump needs to circulate the chemicals for a minimum
amount of time. You can define a countdown time for
any or all of the three available circuits. The countdown
time can range from 1 minute to 23 hours, 59 minutes.
The countdown time will override all scheduled On/Off
events for that particular circuit, and can only be cleared
by manually turning off the circuit with the On/Off key.
1. Make sure the desired circuit you wish to enter a
countdown time for is in the OFF position.
2. Choose the circuit you wish to enter a countdown
for, in this case
Circuit #1
. Push and hold down its
ON/OFF key, and at the same time push the up or
down arrow to enter the
Runtime Mode.
3.
Use the
Up/Down keys
to change the
countdown
time amount
, in this case 1 minute. Release the
ON/OFF key when you have reached the desired
countdown time. The circuit will now stay ON for the
defined time entered.

4. If you desire to change the entered runtime, simply
push and hold either the up or down arrow key, then
push and hold the corresponding ON/OFF key. You
can now use the arrow keys to modify the current
runtime.
