Safety • Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision. • Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment. • People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
I-Wave PE5 Installation Guide Section 1: System Overview The Intermatic I-Wave Pool/Spa PE5 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 •...
PE45343RCT1 — a special version with a 100 watt transformer for 12-Volt underwater lighting, where required by local code. The 100-watt transformer (PA117) can also be ordered separately for installation into standard model PE45343RC. • PE45343RCT3 — a special version with a 300 watt transformer for 12-Volt underwater lighting, where required by local code.
This unit snaps into almost any Intermatic enclosure and features two 3HP double pole relays, one of which can be controlled by an external timer, 24 volt supply for...
10 Amp Tungsten, 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz 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.
Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver (PE950) can only control two mechanisms. Optional — Freeze (Air Temperature) Sensor (178PA28A) Add the Intermatic Freeze or Air Temperature Sensor (178PA28A) to installations where below-freezing outdoor temperatures are a concern. Programming information to incorporate the sensor is provided on page 35.
Two: Plumbing and Wiring Examples Section 2: Plumbing Examples The following diagrams show several plumbing and wiring examples of installations for pool and spa that share a single filter pump, filter, and heater. If you are installing a pool only or spa only, these diagrams will not apply.
Three: Control Center Installation Section 3: Control Center Installation Mounting the Control Center Special code requirements apply to your I-Wave Control System. To ensure safe installation, please follow all applicable national state, and local codes when installing the Control Center. Locate your Control Center near the pool/spa equipment pad at least five feet or more away from either the pool or spa equipment and at least five feet...
Each circuit breaker should be sized according to your load and the appropriate local codes. The I-Wave Control System consists of two Intermatic snap-in mechanisms: • P1353ME — with three timed circuits each comprised of three SPST relays •...
Three: Control Center Installation If Wiring 120-Volt Loads: • For safety purposes, the factory default setting for the source voltage of a P1353ME mechanism is for 240 Volts. • For 120-Volt installations, be sure you set the Source Voltage Selection Jumper on the back of the Three-Circuit Clock mechanism (P1353ME) for 120 Volts before you begin wiring.
Three: Control Center Installation If Wiring Combination 120- and 240-Volt Loads: • For combination 120- and 240-Volt loads, change the factory default setting of the Source Voltage Selection Jumper on the back of the Three-Circuit Clock mechanism (P1353ME) from its factory default setting to 120 Volts. •...
(with a 100 watt transformer) or PE45343RCT3 (with a 300-watt transformer). Alternatively, you can order a 300-watt PA124 or 100-watt PA123 12V transformer kit to mount in the standard system model PE45343RC. (See Figure 3-10.) If required by local code, install a GFCI receptacle and connect the neutral and hot wire, from the circuit breaker, to the LINE side of the GFCI.
Power must be disconnected when connecting the Freeze Sensor. Only an Intermatic Freeze Sensor will work with this controller. Refer to page 35 for programming information, and page 10 for ordering information.
Motorized Valve Actuator Connection and Synchronizing The I-Wave Control System is capable of controlling up to three Motorized Valve Actuators. Two Intermatic Motorized Valve Actuators (PE24VA) are included with your I-Wave system. Refer to page 8 for information to order additional actuators.

Three: Control Center Installation 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 3-17.) Connect two #14 gauge wires, designed for use in hot environments, to the two red wires.
Mechanism Overview of Three Circuit Clock Control Panel The Intermatic Three-Circuit Clock Control Panel is easy to program and capable of automatically switching loads on three circuits according to a preset 24-hour daily schedule, and providing control over a variety of different applications. Figure 4-1 shows the front of the mechanism.
Freeze Sensor Connection — For the Intermatic Freeze Sensor (178PA28A), which is necessary for the freeze protection circuit and programming to work. Disconnect power when connecting the freeze sensor. Only an Intermatic sensor can be used. Refer to page 35 for programming information.
