Frequently Asked Questions - T10004RT1 INTERMATIC

How do I install the Intermatic T10004RT1 Control Panel?

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Mount the enclosure on a flat vertical surface at least 5 feet from the pool edge (3 feet in Canada). Use copper conductors and follow the wiring diagram inside the door. For underwater lights, use a nonmetallic hub kit (156PA13713A/13714A/13715A). Ensure all connections are tight and insulation clears the pressure plate.

How do I set the ON and OFF times on the time switch?

Hold the trippers against the edge of the clock dial, pointing to the desired ON and OFF times (AM/PM). Tighten the tripper screws firmly. To set the time of day, pull the clock dial outward, turn it, and align the current time with the pointer.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Always disconnect electricity before servicing. Test the GFCI protection regularly. Do not permit children to operate the control without close supervision. Follow all local electrical codes, especially NEC Article 680 or CEC Section 68.

How do I test the ground fault protection?

Press the TEST button on the GFCI (if installed). The reset button should pop out. If it fails to reset, do not use the pool or spa and contact a qualified service technician.

What is the transformer capacity for underwater lights?

The panel supports either a 100W or 300W transformer. The 100W transformer provides up to 100W at 12/13/14V, and the 300W provides up to 300W. Use the voltage selection chart in the manual to choose the correct tap based on cable length and gauge.

How do I wire the underwater lights?

Connect the power supply to the appropriate voltage tap on the primary side of the transformer. Ensure all unused taps are insulated separately. Check that the voltage at the lamp terminals is 12 ± 0.3 volts. Use the cable length chart to select the correct secondary wire gauge.

What should I do if the time switch does not keep time?

Possible causes: frequent power outages, wrong voltage/cycle, or loose clock motor connections. Reset the dial, check the clock motor, or replace it if necessary. Consult the troubleshooting section in the manual.

Can I add a fireman switch for heater control?

Yes, if required by the heater manufacturer. Install the fireman switch kit 156T4042A (not included) on the time switch plate. Use at least 18 AWG wire rated 300V. The fireman switch is factory-set to shut off the heater 20 minutes before the pump turns off.

How do I operate the switch manually?

Move the manual lever below the clock dial left or right as indicated by the arrows. This will not affect the next automatic operation. The lever overrides the timer temporarily.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Many of today'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 Transformers supplied in these panels are specifically designed to supply 12 volts to underwater pool/spa lights. A grounded shield between the primary and secondary winding assures safe operation and the built-in circuit protection will disconnect power to the transformer in case of overload. These transformers are suitable for direct connection to underwater Pool and Spa lights.

The all-weather enclosure contains a heavy-duty, industrial grade Time Switch. Also, it has provisions to install switches inside as well as a switch or GFCI receptacle on the outside. 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 manufacturer if not sure and/or for more details.
