High Voltage Wiring
Connecting Power to the Pool Pilot Digital
The Pool Pilot Digital is typically provided input power in one of two ways. Determine which is best for your application.
• AC input directly from a circuit breaker, time clock, or pump relay in an electronic controller: This method is
used when the AC power to the pump and Pool Pilot will be turned on and off by an external device such as a circuit
breaker, time clock, or electronic controller.
• AC input directly from an external breaker: This method is used only when the Pool Pilot Digital will be used to
time and control the filter pump on/off cycles.
Note: Turn Power OFF and remove the short factory test wire stubs connected to the top terminals and ground lug before wiring.
You must provide the appropriate gauge LINE-IN wires for pump or non-pump applications. Check with your local codes or
NEC guidelines.
Connecting Pool Pilot Digital to an External Timer or Controller
LINE-IN:
1) Measure and cut the appropriate gauge wires and ½” non-metallic flexible conduit from the Power source to the
Pool
Pilot Digital.
2) Connect ac wires to the LOAD SIDE or to the same location as the circulation pump wires (pump connected to circuit
breaker, time clock or electronic controller) and run through the conduit to the Pool Pilot Digital.
3) Connect the ac wires into the Pool Pilot Digital to terminals #1 and #2 on the Terminal Strip.
4) Connect the ground wire to the ground lug to the left of the Terminal Strip.
Connecting Pool Pilot Digital to One-Speed Pump or pH Acid Feed Pump
LINE-IN:
1) Follow the LINE-IN instructions above.
2) Select wire gauge and type that meets local and national
electrical codes for powering the pump.
LINE-OUT:
1) Connect the LINE-OUT pump wires to terminals #4, #6
and the ground lug as labeled.
Connecting Pool Pilot Digital to Two-Speed Pump
LINE-IN:
1) Follow the LINE-IN instructions above.
2) Select wire gauge and type that meets local and national
electrical codes for powering the pump.
Note: The pump is always powered. A safety shut off (wall switch)
between the circuit breaker and Pool Pilot Digital is recommended
if the circuit breaker cannot be accessed quickly.
LINE-OUT:
1) Connect the LINE-OUT pump wires to terminals
#3, #4, #5, and the ground lug as labeled.
