Risk of Fire or Electrical Shock
WARNING
• Disconnect all power before installing the time switch or connected loads.
• Follow local electrical and safety codes, National Electric Code (NEC) and Occupational Safety and Health Act Codes (OSHA).
• More than one disconnect or circuit breaker may need to be turned off to de-energize all conductors.
• If the power disconnect point is out of sight, lock it in the OFF position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.
• The time switch must be grounded.
• Do not exceed maximum current carrying capacity.
• Always replace the plastic insulator to its original position before powering the time switch.
• Make sure there is no wire insulation under the terminal plate on time switch connector. Firmly tighten terminal screws.

Description

The PE103/P1403ME timer is a programmable pool and spa three-circuit device used for
two-speed pumps and auxiliary equipment. The timer features a programmable Seasonal
Adjust offset that automatically adjusts filter pump ON/OFF schedules according to
season.
At initial power up, the timer is in a setup state that requires users to program the time,
date, year, Daylight Saving Time (DST) option, Seasonal Adjust offset, and low speed
event. Optional high speed and auxiliary circuit ON/OFF events can also be configured
at initial startup. After the setup events are programmed, the timer advances to AUTO
Mode, where relays can be automatically turned ON and OFF according to programmed
events. The relays can also be manually turned ON/OFF by pressing the applicable button
under the active load.

Seasonal Adjust Overview

The Seasonal Adjust feature is a user-configured offset (10-minute intervals between 10 and
120 minutes) that increases/decreases the OFF time of the pump. The the timer adds the
offset value to the high and low speed OFF events in March, May, and July. Then the timer
subtracts the offset to the OFF events September, November and January 1st. This ensures
that the pump runs longer in summer swim months and shorter in fall and winter months to
accommodate pool usage.
NOTE: The timer divides the offset equally between the high speed event and the low speed
event. If only the low speed event is used, the complete offset value is added/subtracted to
the low speed event.
NOTE: If you have a single speed pump, be sure to only set the low speed. The high speed
event is not applicable to single speed pumps.

Connecting the PE103/1403ME Wiring

The single speed or two-speed pump and optional auxiliary component wires must be
connected to the applicable terminals on the PE103/P1403ME timer. Refer to Figure 2 to
connect the PE103/P1403ME wiring.

Yes, the ON/OFF AUX button on the Intermatic PE103 acts as a manual override for the auxiliary circuit.
