I-Wave Installation Guide Important Safety Instructions All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
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. • People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub. • To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.

I-Wave Installation Guide Section 1: System Overview The Intermatic I-Wave Pool/Spa 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 • Everything You Need — providing, in its standard configuration, the functionality and control called for in nearly every installation.
One: System Overview The standard system is shipped with snap-in mechanisms in place inside the enclosure, the panel mount transceiver attached to the top of the enclosure, with antenna to be attached. Components are already interconnected and are ready for wiring. System model numbers are designed to make sure the installation meets local code as follows: • PE45343RC — the basic radio-controlled system.
I-Wave Installation Guide Valve/Pump Switch (P42343ME) Designed for aftermarket and retrofit applications, the P4243ME is most suited for controlling up to two different circuits associated with pool/spa combinations but can also be used to control all the equipment typically needed in connection with water features, water gardening, solar heating, and other similar applications.
One: System Overview Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver (PE950) The main function of the Wireless-Hand-Held Transceiver is to transmit user commands to the Panel Mount Transceiver.
I-Wave Installation Guide Optional — Three-Button Wired Remote Control (133PE1484A) The Three-Button Wired Remote Control (133PE1484A) plugs into either the Three-Circuit Clock (PE1353ME) or Valve/Pump Switch (PE4243ME). When installed as part of a system, it replaces the wireless method of controlling the three circuits within the mechanism. For more information, refer to Installing a Wired Remote Connection in Section 4.
Two: Plumbing and Wiring Examples 11 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 13 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 off the ground.
I-Wave Installation Guide Bonding the Control Center Some state local codes require bonding the control center to the bonding grid. If this is required, install a bonding lug (130PA1362) to the Control Center enclosure and connect a #8 solid copper core wire, to an approved earth ground, (i.e. approved ground stake, or conducting metal water pipe buried to a sufficient depth, etc.). See detail in Figure 3-3 at the right.
Three: Control Center Installation 15 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. • For more information, see Identifying Connections and Selecting Proper Input Voltage on page 24.
I-Wave Installation Guide If Wiring 240-Volt Loads: • For safety purposes, the factory default setting for the source voltage of a P1353ME mechanism is for 240 Volts. • The Source Voltage Selection Jumper on the back of the Three-Circuit Clock mechanism (P1353ME) will already be correctly set, ready for you to begin wiring.
Three: Control Center Installation 17 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. • For more information, see Identifying Connections and Selecting Proper Input Voltage on page 24.
I-Wave Installation Guide 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-Voltage Underwater Lights (0000000) Figure 3-7 Figure 3-8 The I-Wave Control Center comes equipped with two décor knockouts on the dead front and one side knockout for installation of GFCI receptacles. (See Figure 3-7).
Three: Control Center Installation 19 Low-Voltage Underwater Lights CAUTION: Your I-Wave Control Center is equipped with a Low Voltage Raceway. You must use this raceway for all low voltage wiring, including the 12 Volt wires from the transformer. You cannot mix high and low voltages in the high voltage compartment.
I-Wave Installation Guide Low-Voltage Wiring CAUTION: Your I-Wave Control Center is equipped with a Low Voltage Raceway. You must use this raceway for all low voltage wiring, including the 12 Volt wires from the transformer. You cannot mix high and low voltages in the high voltage compartment. Water Temperature Sensor The I-Wave Control System comes equipped with a Water Temperature Sensor.
Three: Control Center Installation 21 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. Contact Intermatic Customer Service to order additional actuators. The actuators must be installed to automatically rotate your valves between pool and spa plumbing.
I-Wave Installation Guide Heater Fireman Switch Connection The I-Wave Control System is capable of controlling most heaters or heat pumps, using thermostatic circuitry of 24 VAC or less, in the market today. Locate your heater in the following pages and follow the instructions for proper installation with your I-Wave Control Center.

Unbolt and remove the upper jacket halves (Refer to heater owners manual). 3. Open control box cover. (See Figure 3-21.) 4. Remove the factory-installed jumper between the Fireman’s Switch terminals. (See Figure 3-22. ) 5.
Four: Programming the Three-Circult Clock Mechanism 25 Section 4: Programming the Three-Circuit Clock 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.
I-Wave Installation Guide Identifying Connections and Selecting Proper Input Voltage Figure 4-2 below shows the reverse side of the Three-Circuit Clock Control Panel. Detailed connection information is provided below the diagram. CAUTION: If the Source Voltage Selector Jumper is in the wrong position, the F1 fuse will blow and you may damage the circuit board, voiding the warranty. 1. Before making any connections: Set the Source Voltage Selector Jumper.
