Mini-Wave PE4 Installation Guide Section 1: System Overview The Intermatic Mini-Wave Pool/Spa PE4 Wireless Control System brings wireless control to a new level of simplicity and affordability. What makes the system distinctive is that it is: • Easy to Use — with simple, push button controls and a clear, easy-to-read display panel •...
Shown here with its removable antenna (PA118). Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver (PE950) Designed with quality in mind, Intermatic’s 24-volt valve actuators provide reliable control of 2-way and 3-way diverter valves for pool/ spa combinations and water features. The water flow can be altered for specific applications through the adjustable cam, which rotates diverter valves to multiple degree settings.
Water Temperature Sensor (PA122) The Intermatic Water Sensor (PA122) monitors both pool and spa water temperature, depending on the position of the diverter valves. Installation is necessary for the thermostatic control to work. The sensor can be ordered separately. Optional Transceiver Repeater Module (HA04C)
Four Omron relays, each providing an on-demand circuit, one on a timer. • One Intermatic clock (PB313EK), capable of controlling the Relay 1 or Relay 2 circuit, depending on the version, with up to eight ON/OFF settings. Equipment that requires programmed ON/OFF times is already wired to the first or second relay (i.e., filter pumps, booster pumps, etc.).
Wiring Underwater Lights CAUTION: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be provided for high voltage pool/spa lights. Do not use a GFCI circuit breaker. High/Low-Voltage Underwater Lights The Mini-Wave PE4 Control Center comes equipped with one side knockout for installation of the GFCI receptacle.
It needs to be installed in order for the thermostat control to work. Power needs to be disconnected when connecting the temp sensor. Only an Intermatic Sensor will work with this controller. Follow the directions below to install and mount your water temperature sensor.
The Mini-Wave Control System is capable of controlling up to three Motorized Valve Actuators on the Pool/Spa (P/S) circuit, and up to two additional Motorized Valve Actuators on circuit number three. Two Intermatic Motorized Valve Actuators (PE24VA) are included with your Mini- Wave system. Refer to page 7 for ordering information.
Connection for Hayward Heaters Remove heater service door on your Hayward Heater. Remove factory-installed wire connector between two (2) red wires labeled “CONNECTION FOR FIELD INSTALLED CONTROL SWITCH.” (See Figure 3-13.) Connect two #14 gauge wires, designed for use in hot environments, to the two red wires. (See Figure 3-14.) Wire the other end to the two brown wires, marked heater connection, on the panel-mounted...
Section 4: Programming the Clock Overview There are two revisions of the upper and lower control boards. The difference between these two revisions is the relay the Pump Timer controls. • On System Rev. #1, the Pump Timer controls Relay #2. •...
Section 5: Installing System Options Installing a Booster/Cleaner Pump When a Booster/Cleaner Pump must be controlled, you need to order and install the optional Booster/Cleaner pump relay (PA120) in your Mini-Wave Control Center. In addition, you need to program your PE950 Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver to lock out the Booster/Cleaner pump whenever your valve actuators change from the pool position to the spa position.
Installing a Fireman’s Switch or Second Timed Function It may be necessary to have a Second Timed Function for a particular piece of pool/spa equipment, or to provide a Cool- Down Period for your heater prior to shutting off the pump. (Consult the heater owner’s manual for this requirement.) If any of these two features are desired, you must install a second timer for this feature.

Installing a Fireman’s Switch Route wires from the Chassis Wire Access Hole behind the chassis and out to the low volrtage Raceway. Reinstall the Chassis in the enclosure. Connect one of the wires from the New Timer to either of the Fireman’s Switch wires from the heater.
NOTE: If the word FAILURE instead of SUCCESS appears at the bottom of the screen during any of the following steps, repeat the programming procedure, then try replacing the batteries in the Hand-Held. If the problem persists, contact Intermatic Customer Service. Press any button on the Hand-Held Remote to wake it from sleep.
Press and hold the <P/S> and <CHLR> buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds. This will put the device in programming mode, as shown at the right. NOTE: If you pause in the programming procedure for 30 seconds or so, the screen automatically returns to Step 1.
Installing the 35-ft. Antenna Extension Cable (PA121) Choose a location for the antenna within 35 feet of the Control Center that will be in direct line of sight from the area of operation — where the home owner will be using the Hand-Held Remote. Unscrew the antenna from the top of the Panel-Mounted Transceiver.
Everyday Use of the Hand-Held Controller The complete everyday functionality of the pool/spa system you have installed can be conveniently controlled using the Hand-Held Remote. Changing between Pool and Spa The Valve Actuator (PE24VA) that you have installed in the system directs water either to the pool or the spa.
Manually Turning Equipment On and Off At the Control Center For service purposes, the five circuits and the pool/spa actuators can be operated manually at the Control Center. Simply press any of the circuit buttons on the control pad to toggle between ON and OFF. Any manual OFF/ON controlling will be reflected on the screen of the Hand-Held Controller.
Using Two Hand-Held Controllers to Operate the System When two or more Hand-Held Controllers are being used to operate a system, each will synchronize itself to the other according to whatever function the other controller has activated. For example, if you press the <1> button on one controller, the following will happen: •...
