CONNECTING THE POWER WIRES
The outdoor controller has a built-in transformer which must be
connected to a grounded three-wire 120 V a.c. (domestic), 230 V a.c.
(international) or 240 V a.c. (Australia) power source.
Note: Power connection for indoor controller is discussed on page 19,
steps 9 and 10.
Caution: Do not connect the controller to one phase of a three-
phase power supply used by a pump or other electrical equipment.
1. Ensure the power is disconnected at the source.
2. Route the AC power and equipment ground wires through electrical
conduit to the controller.
3. Using a proper wire connection method, attach the Hot (Line 1)
to the Black wire, Neutral (Line 2) to the White wire and
Equipment Ground to the Green or Green/Yellow wire.
Note: The wire connection method shown in Figure 9 applies to
a domestic controller installation
only. For international controller
installation, refer to electrical
code requirements for proper wire
connection method. For
Australian installation, connect
the power cord to a grounded
240 V a.c. receptacle.
4. Close and secure the conduit
body cover. Apply power to the
controller.
WARNING
All electrical components must meet applicable national and local
electrical codes including installation by qualified personnel.
These codes may require an external junction box mounted on the
transformer nipple and a means in the fixed wiring of disconnecting
AC power having a contact separation of at least 0.120" (3mm) in
the line and neutral poles.
Ensure the AC power source is OFF prior to connecting to the
controller.
The wire used for connection to the controller must have insulation
rated at 105°C minimum.
