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 ttings of your spa or hot tub.
Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction ttings are broken or missing. Never replace a
suction tting with one rated less than the ow rate marked on the equipment assembly.
WARNING: Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal
body temperature of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting,
drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure
to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant
women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury —
The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F
(38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during
the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water
temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lad to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
Obese persons and person with history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,
circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since
some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood
pressure, and circulation.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock – Install the control center at least ve (5) feet (152.4cm) from
the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian installations
must be at least three (3) meters from the water.

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.
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid
unconsciousness and possible drowning
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot
tub.
Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health.
Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer.
Do nut use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 5
feet (1.5m) of a spa or hot tub.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in
hot tubs and spas.
Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be hazardous to your health.
WARNING: A terminal bar marked “GROUND” is provided with the control center. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric
service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor having green insulation and one
that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, nut no smaller than
no. 12 AWG (3.3mm). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8
AWG (4.115mm) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within ve (5)
feet (1.52m) of the tub.
WARNING: A ground-fault circuit-interrupter must be provided if this device is used to control
underwater lighting xtures. The conductors on the load side of the ground-fault circuit-
interrupter shall not occupy conduit, boxes or enclosures containing other conductors unless
the additional conductors are also protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. Refer to local
codes for complete details.

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 conguration, the functionality and
control called for in nearly every installation.
Modular — components snap in and out of the enclosure as needed to simplify installation
and repair, and to make customization simple for the installer. No need for the technician
to spend hours troubleshooting a circuit board…just snap in a replacement.
Dependable — with Z-Wave® technology that lets you plug inexpensive repeaters into an
electrical outlet to relay signals in any part of the site with dead spots. Z-Wave® technology
eliminates intermittant signal problems experienced with many other systems.
Cost Efciency — a superior system, easier to install and maintain, with better
dependability, and at a cost that’s competitive with any other system available.
The standard conguration for the I-Wave Pool/Spa Wireless Control System conguration is
shown in Figure 1-1. You can order individual components for a custom conguration or system

Panel-Mounted Transceiver (PE650) and Antenna (0000000)
The main function of the Panel-Mounted Transceiver is to take commands from
the Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver and hand them off to two mechanisms
(P1353ME and/or P4243ME) in the I-Wave Enclosure box. This unit can control:
One P1353ME unit and one P4243ME unit
Two P1353ME units
Two P4243ME units
In cases where the two devices are too far apart for direct communication, a
Transceiver Repeater Module (HA04C) will relay commands between the two
devices. Shown here with its removable antenna (0000000).

One: System Overview 9
Providing a brighter solution.™
Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver (PE950)
The main function of the Wireless-Hand-Held Transceiver is to transmit user
commands to the Panel Mount Transceiver. The device can control up to ve
loads, typically:
The three loads in the Three-Circuit Clock
The two relays in the Valve/Pump Switch, usually water temperature
controls for pool/spa
The actuators that switch between pool and spa
The unit oats if thrown in the pool or spa, is water-submersible, shock
resistant, and requires three (3) AA batteries (supplied). Expected battery life
is about one year in typical use.
The Wireless Hand-Held Transceiver can only communicate with the Panel-Mounted Transceiver
and Transceiver Repeater Module, and is compatible with no other hardware. In addition, when
the components of a specic system are linked together into a network, communication with
another neighboring system cannot occur.
Transceiver Repeater Module
The Transceiver Repeater Modules (HA04C) ensure that no problems in
reception occur between the Hand-Held Controller(s) and the Panel-Mounted
Transceiver. Reception is affected by distance (about 100 feet, direct line of sight)
and by physical obstacles (like brick walls or structures). However, by plugging
in a Transceiver Repeater Module where necessary, long distances or physical
obstructions can be overcome.
The I-Wave System includes one Transceiver Repeater Module. Additional units can be odered
from Intermatic.
OMRON Relay Assembly (143T145A)
There are two OMRON Relay Assemblies (143T145A) in the Valve/Pump
Switch Mechanism ( ) which switch either 120V or 240V loads. These
relays are replaceable and can be ordered separately.
Water Temperature Sensor (178PE4)
The Intermatic Water Sensor (178PE4) monitors both pool and spa water
temperature, depending on the position of the diverter valves. Installation
is necessary for the thermostatic control to work. The sensor can be
ordered separately.

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. The Three-Button Wired Remote Control
must be installed where a third mechanism is needed in the enclosure box, since the Wireless
Hand-Held Transceiver can only control two mechanisms.
Optional — Freeze (Air Temperature) Sensor (178PA28A)
Add the Intermatic Freeze or Air Temperature Sensor (178PA28A) to installations
where below-freezing outdoor temperatures are a concern. Programming

Three: Control Center Installation 13
Providing a brighter solution.™
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 ve feet or more away from
either the pool or spa equipment and at least ve feet
off the ground.
Mounting brackets have been provided to assist you in
your installation.
NOTE: The Control Center is not to be considered
as suitable for use as Service Equipment. Therefore,
it is required to have the appropriate means of
disconnection, circuit isolation, and/or branch circuit
protection installed at the Main Power Panel.
Wiring the System Power
Run wire from the Main Power Panel
to your Control Center and connect the
leads to the Control Center Breaker Base.
See detail in Figure 3-2 at the right.
The breaker base of your Control Center
is capable of handling up to 125 amps.
You must comply with the applicable
local codes and use the proper gauge
wiring from your Main Power panel to
your control center breaker base. The
proper gauge wire will be determined by
the length of wire required and the 125
Max Amp rating.
WARNING: Potentially high
voltages in the Control Center
can create dangerous electrical
hazards, possibly causing death,
serious injury, or property damage.
Turn off the Main Power to the
Control Center to disconnect or
service the I-Wave Control Center.

14 I-Wave Installation Guide
Copyright © 2006 Intermatic, Inc.
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 sufcient depth, etc.). See detail in Figure 3-3 at the right.
Wiring the Individual Equipment
Each piece of pool or spa equipment requires its own high voltage relay and associated circuit
breaker branch protection. Each circuit breaker should be sized according to your load and the
appropriate local codes.
The I-Wave Control System consists of two Intermatic snap-in mechanisms:
P1353ME — with three timed circuits each comprised of three SPST relays
P4243ME — with two on-demand circuits comprised of two DPST relays
Even though the three circuit clock can easily handle on-demand circuits, any equipment that
requires programmed ON/OFF times should be wired to the three-circuit P1353ME mechanism
(i.e., lter pumps, booster pumps, etc.). On-demand equipment (i.e., blowers, lights, etc.) should
be wired to the P4243ME valve-controller mechanism. This practice will maximize your control
capabilities.
All circuits are independent contacts. Therefore you can mix and match 120-Volt and 240-Volt
loads within each mechanism. Refer to the following illustrations for sample wiring diagrams.

The I-Wave Control System uses an optional Air
Temperature Sensor (178PA28A) for measuring air
temperature and implementing the Freeze Protection
Circuit—necessary for the freeze protection circuit and
programming to work. Power must be disconnected
when connecting the freeze sensor. Only an Intermatic
Sensor will work with this controller. Refer to page 34
for programming information.
Install the Air Temperature Sensor outside the
Control Center, preferably onto a piece of conduit at
or near your equipment pad. Use the clip provided
with the sensor. Do not install in direct sunlight or
around motors or other heat sources.
Run the wire to the Control Center through the low
voltage raceway. Connect Air Sensor directly to the

Connection Detail
Freeze Probe Connection — For the Intermatic Freeze Sensor (178PA0001A), which is
necessary for the freeze protection circuit and programming to work. Disconnect power when
connecting the freeze sensor. Only an Intermatic sensor can be used. Refer to page 34 for
programming information.
Heater Firemen Switch Connection — For the remen switch wires that connect to the Pool/
Spa heater. If installing with a Wireless Remote Control, use the two brown wires coming
from the panel-mounted antenna to create the circuit between this switch and the heater.
Connectors should be ¼” female spade connectors crimped to insulated-type wire. This
connection is a simple SPST contact, and switches the supplied heater voltage. It does not
supply voltage to the heater thermostat. In non-wireless installations, clip the “loop” supplied,
then connect with wire nut connectors. Refer to page 33 for programming information.
Remote Control Connection — For the Intermatic Remote Control (133PE1484A), which
allows you to remotely turn On or Off all three available circuits. It also has status lights that
indicate when a load is On, Off or delayed. If using the Three-Button Wired Remote Control
(133PE1484A), it connects here as well.
