Frequently Asked Questions - T10404R INTERMATIC

How do I set the ON and OFF times for the filter pump?

Hold the ON tripper and OFF tripper against the edge of the clock dial pointing to the desired times (AM/PM). Tighten the tripper screws firmly.

How do I set the current time-of-day?

Pull the clock dial outward and turn it in either direction. Align the exact time-of-day on the dial with the time pointer.

Can I manually operate the time switch without changing the programmed schedule?

Yes, move the manual lever below the clock dial left or right as indicated by arrows. This will not affect the next automatic operation.

How do I install the optional fireman switch for heater protection?

Install kit 156T4042A on the time switch plate. Use at least #18 AWG wire with 300V insulation. Place the heater ON/OFF switch to ON. The fireman switch shuts off the heater 20 minutes before the pump turns off.

What should I do after a power failure?

Reset the clock dial to the correct time-of-day as described in the time setting instructions.

Why does the dial stop at the ON or OFF tripper?

Possible causes: loose tripper, bent dial, or defective motor. Check and tighten tripper, replace mechanism or clock motor as needed.

What voltage options are available for this control panel?

The panel can operate on 120V or 240V AC, 60Hz. The clock motor wiring must match the supply voltage. See wiring diagram inside door.

Can this panel directly control underwater lights?

Yes, but installation must comply with Article 680-21(b) of the NEC or Canadian Articles 68-060, -062, -066.

How do I test the installation after wiring?

Turn the manual lever to OFF. Turn on power at breaker. Move lever to ON. Pump should start. If not, turn off power and check wiring. Refer to Troubleshooting section.

USER MANUAL T10404R INTERMATIC

CONTROL PANEL WITH TIME SWITCH FOR INDOOR/OUTDOOR USE

Suitable for Pool Equipment Control and for Direct Connection of Underwater Lights

ELECTRICAL RATINGS: See inside Enclosure Door

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.

READ, FOLLOW AND SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL

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

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and operating this Product and other associated equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and follow all instructions.
2. This Control must be installed by a qualified electrician, according to National and Local Electrical Codes.
3. Install this control not less than 5 feet (3 meters in Canada) from inside edge of pool. USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY.
4. Do not exceed the maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices, and current carrying capacity of conductors.
5. For Control grounding, bonding, installing and the wiring of underwater lights, refer to Article 680 of the National Electrical Code or Article 68 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
6. The Control should not operate any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property damage should it be activated unexpectedly.

READ, FOLLOW AND SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL

INSTALLATION

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 specified 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 switch terminals are tight (25 lb.-in. minimum) and insulation clears the pressure plate - see illustration.

1. 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 harness, contact heater manufacturer for details.

2. For direct wiring of underwater lights, the installation must comply with Article 680-21(b) of the National Electrical Code or in Canada, Articles 68-060, -062 and -066.

3. To install additional wiring devices 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.

1. If external bonding is required, install a bonding lug at bottom of enclosure and bond installation according to code requirements.

2. Testing of the installation is optional and recommended 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 start and run on full speed. In case of unsatisfactory results, turn OFF power, check your wiring, refer to Troubleshooting on Page 3.

1. Install front panel over wiring compartment. The control is now ready for programming, see OPERATION section on Page 3.

Figure 1

OPERATION

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.

WARNING: Do not disconnect high limit or pressure switches.

TIME SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. TO SET "ON" AND "OFF" TIMES: Hold TRIPPERS against edge of CLOCK-DIAL, pointing to time (AM or PM) when ON and OFF operations are desired. Tighten tripper screws firmly.

2. TO SET TIME-OF-DAY:

Pull CLOCK-DIAL outward. Turn in either direction and align the exact time-of-day on the CLOCK-DIAL (the time now, when switch is being put into operation) to the pointer.

• TO OPERATE SWITCH MANUALLY: Move MANUAL LEVER below CLOCK-DIAL left or right as indicated by arrows. This will not affect the next operation.
• FOR MORE THAN ONE DAILY ON-OFF OPERATION: Place additional tripper pairs on CLOCK-DIAL (order 156T1978A).
• IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE: Reset CLOCK-DIAL to proper time of day. See step 2 above.
