Mounting the PE653RC System

Follow this procedure to mount the MultiWave enclosure and PE653 receiver.
Select a location to mount the receiver that is near the pool/spa equipment; at least 3m
1.
(in Canada) or 5 ft (in USA) from the inside wall of the pool, spa, or pond, unless separated
from the body of water by a fence, wall, or other permanent barrier that will make the unit
inaccessible to persons in the water. NOTE: The receiver must be mounted in a vertical
(upright) position on top of the enclosure.
Select the knockouts to be used and insert a flathead screwdriver into the slot and carefully

punch the 1/2" knockout loose and remove the slug.
NOTE: If a 3/4" knockout is required, remove the outer ring with pliers after removing the
1/2" knockout. Smooth the edge with a file if required.
NOTE: If a low voltage circuit or a heater control circuit is to be used, remove the low
voltage knockout from the PE653 enclosure.
Install conduit hub to knockout rated for outdoor locations, raintight, or wet locations that

bottom screws, tightening all screws for a secure mounting.
Install conduit as needed to comply with national and local electrical and safety codes.

No. 8 AWG solid copper wire to the enclosure with a Bonding Lug (part number 156T11047A).
Connect the bonding wire to an approved earth ground.
Identify and install all wires necessary to complete the installation. Allow a length of
7.
approximately 18" (46 cm) of each wire at the metal enclosure for required connections of
junctions.
Connect wiring for circuits as required. Refer to the diagrams in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 for
8.
wiring suggestions for specific equipment combinations. All splices and wire nut connections
