Connecting the Power Source - Outdoor Models
Warning: All electrical components and connection methods must comply with
all applicable national and local electrical codes including installation by qualified
personnel. These codes may require a junction box installed on controller’s 1/2”
(13mm) NPT 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.
The connection wire must have insulation rated @ 105° C min.
The controller must be connected to a grounded power source. Do not connect
to one phase of a 3-phase power supply used by a pump or other electrical
equipment.
Prior to connecting controller wiring, verify that power has been turned off at the
source by using an AC volt meter.
1. Install a 1/2” (13mm) NPT conduit body to the transformer threaded fitting. From the
conduit body, install electrical conduit routing to the AC power source (per electrical code).
2. Pull 14 AWG through the conduit into the conduit body.
3. Using twist-on wire
connectors, attach the
mating wires as shown
at right.
4. Close and secure the
conduit body cover.
5. Apply power to the
controller and check
controller operation.
If the controller is not
operating, disconnect
the power at the
source and have a
qualified electrician
check for possible
short circuit.
Caution: For maximum protection of the controller
electronic components when installed outdoors,
always keep the cabinet cover closed and locked
whenever possible. Store the cabinet keys in a safe,
convenient location.
