Each cable must be pulled from the equipment to the
control's plastic enclosure. All low voltage wiring connections
enter the enclosure through conduit knockouts on the
sides, or through the square knockouts on the rear. It is
recommended to label each cable for easy identification.
All low voltage wires are to be stripped to a length of 3/8"
(9 mm) to ensure proper connection to the control.
Pull two conductor 18 AWG LVT cable, up to 500 feet
(150 m) for the following equipment:

Sizing the Transformer

The control requires an external transformer with 20 VA
capacity or greater. A tekmar Transformer 009 (or 009K
which includes a 4" x 4" electrical box) can supply up to 40
VA, and includes an in-line fuse to protect the transformer
and control.

CAUTION: TURN ALL POWER OFF BEFORE PERFORMING ANY WIRING.
Ensure Junction Box Extension Ring is Installed
An extension ring must be installed on the 4" x 4"
junction box when 6 or more powered outputs for the
pumps are used on the rear of the control.
Ground the Pumps
Connect the pump grounds to the power supply
ground as shown in Figure 1. The ground wire must
also be grounded to the electrical box.
Wire the Pump Neutrals
If the combined pump power load is less than 12 A,
then a only a single 15 A circuit is required.
If the combined pump power load exceeds 12 A, then
two separate 15 A circuits are required.
Each power circuit requires it's own neutral wire.
Connect the Neutral (N) wires from each pump and wire
to the 115 V (ac) Neutral (N) wire. If the transformer has

Wire the Pump Power (L)
If the combined pump power load is less than 12 A,
then a only a single 15 A circuit is required.
If the combined pump power load exceeds 12 A, then
two separate 15 A circuits are required.
Connect the 115 V (ac) line voltage (L) wire to the red
Pump Power (L) wire on the back of the House Control
and to the 115 V (ac) side of the transformer. Use a
wire nut or approved connector. See Figure 4.
Wire the Pumps
Wire each remaining line voltage pump wire into the
push-in wire connector of the corresponding pump
lead on the back of the House Control. This is shown
in Figure 5 and 6.
