The WPC-3 is approved for use with the Intermatic
Metallic Hub Kit (156PA14336A) and Fiberstars
DL-HUB for direct connection of underwater lights.
Refer to 1999 NEC 680-21(b), 2002 NEC 680-24(b)
or CEC 68-060, 062 and 066 for details.
Hooking up Lights to Circuit 1 and Circuit 2
To connect a lighting product to the Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 switch, pull wires from the products
to the WPC-2 through conduits connected to the bottom of the WPC-2. As illustrated, connec
t
lights that will be operated by the Circuit 1 Switch to the Circuit 1 terminal. Connect the
N
eutral to the Terminal Block marked Neutral. Connect the Ground to the Equip. GND. bar.

Circuit 2. Follow each products installation manual for proper installation. Run appropriately
rated wires from the unit to the WPC-2 no less then 12 Gauge COPPER wires. Connect the
Power to the Circuit 1 terminal at one end and to the BLACK wire on the Fiberstars unit.
Connect the neutral to the NEUTRAL terminal in the WPC-2 and to the WHITE wire on the
Fiberstars unit. Connect the grounding cable to the EQUIP. GND. and on the other end to the
GREEN cable. Finally, for synchronization operation, connect the C/W CONTROL cable to the
Circuit 2 terminal and on the other end to the RED wire on the Fiberstars unit. You may connec
t
up to 8Amps of Fiberstars units to Circuit 1.
NOTE: Some models with optional equipment will have Circuit 2 or Circuit 1 or both Circuits

Repeater Dome
Repeater Mounting
The WPC-2 is equipped with a signal repeater that can be mounted up to 10 feet from the WPC-2
unit. This repeater receives signals from the wireless remote and sends that signal to the WPC-2
via the 10 foot cable. Establish a location for the Repeater that is in line of sight from where the
wireless remote will be used most frequently and that is no more then 75 feet from furthest
where the remote will be used. NOTE: If extension is needed, use Fiberstars part number 94-
15098-00 and follow installation instructions supplied with the Repeater Extension.
To mount the Repeater, carefully insert a small flathead screwdriver into groove between the
Dome and Base approximately where the locking dimples are located. Pry the Dome out of the
locking dimples. Then carefully insert the small flathead screwdriver into the groove betwee
n
the Dome and the Base in an adjacent locking dimple and pry the Dome out. Then separate the
Dome from the Base by hand. Using the supplied self-drilling screws, locate a suitable mounting
surface and screw the base to this surface. Note that the marking “TOP” must be in the 12
o’clock position and the wire slit must be in the 6 o’clock position. Do not over tighten the
screws as it may damage the Repeater base. Realign the Repeater Dome to the Base and ensure
that the wire is exiting the base through the slit and the Locking Dimples are aligned with the
locking holes. Apply enough pressure so that the Dome “snaps” into the base.

NOTE: Circuit 1 is in the ON position
and Circuit 2 is in the REMOTE position
WPC-1 TOGGLE SWITCH OPERATION
The WPC-1 receiver box houses two switches. Fo
r
operation with the wireless transmitter, the switches
need to be in the REMOTE position. To manually
turn ON the devices connected to either Circuit 1 o
r
Circuit 2, flip the switches to the ON position. When
a circuit is in the ON position, the Wireless Remote
will not be able to turn OFF the respective circuit.
To turn OFF the devices manually, flip the respective
switch to the MIDDLE or OFF position. NOTE: I
n
the OFF position, the wireless remote operation will
be bypassed. To re-enable the wireless remote
operation, flip the switch back to the REMOTE
p
osition. NOTE: If the units turn ON when the
switch is returned to the REMOTE position, simply
use the wireless remote to turn OFF the units i
f
desired.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For Synchronization of
Circuit 1 and Circuit 2
Circuit 2 control Circuit 1 control
WIRELESS REMOTE OPERATION
N
OTE: The toggle switches on the WPC-1
must be set to REMOTE for wireless
operation. The POWER ON/OFF buttons
control the individual circuits independently.
With each push of the button, the WPC-1
toggles the individual circuits from ON to OFF
and vice versa. For Synchronization operation,
simply push the SYNC ON/OFF button.
N
OTE: If all circuits are off when the SYNC
ON/OFF button is pressed, all circuits will be
turned to ON. If any one of the circuits are in
the ON state by the wireless remote, then when
the SYNC ON/OFF button is pressed all
circuits will be turned OFF and the SYNC
ON/OFF must be pressed to turn all circuits on
simultaneously.

PM hours
TIMER OPERATION
Set time to current time. Open timer cover by lifting from the bottom towards you. In the
example below, the current time is set for 9:00 pm. NOTE: Only turn the Timer dial
clockwise or the timer will be damaged. Once the time has been set to the current time, set
the hours of the Pump operation by “snapping” the timer tabs inwards towards the center.
NOTE: Each tab represents 15 minutes of operation and tabs set inwards towards the
center is for OFF operations and ON when the tabs are set outwards as illustrated. In the
example below, the Pump will be off from 12:00 pm to 11:45 pm.
Once the time and time of operation has been set, ensure that the Timer function switch is set to
Auto for timer control of the Pump as illustrated below. To turn off timers automatic functions,
set the Timer function switch to OFF. To manually turn on the Pump, set the Timer function
switch to the ON position. NOTE: When in the ON position, the Pump will continue to run
until the Timer function switch is set to Auto where the tabs at the Set Point is in the OFF
position or if the Timer function switch is rotated to the OFF position. Apply the time
r
label to the timer cover plate. Close the timer cover firmly after timer is set.

RECEIVER DIP SWITCHES – Turn OFF power to the WPC-2 from the circuit breaker on the Load Center o
r
from Main Power. Open the enclosure door. Unscrew and remove the Load Center Cover Plate. Place the Cove
r
Bracket in a safe location. Unscrew and remover the Switch Bracket. Disconnect the Molex connector tha

connects the Switch Bracket controls to the receiver unit and set the Switch Bracket in a safe location where it will
not be bent, scratched, or impact forces applied to the components or the face plate itself. Unscrew the four (4)
screws holding the receiver to the base of the WPC-2 control box. Unscrew the four (4) screws located on the
b
ack of the receiver to release the cover. NOTE: Take notice of how the wires enter and exit the receiver.
Remove the cover and look on the PCB to locate the DIP switch as illustrated.
TRANSMITTER DIP SWITCHES – Remove all screws from rear of remote. Separate the bottom cover from the
top cover.
DIP SWITCH ADJUSTMENT – The four DIP switches have an ON and an OFF position. Changing just one DIP
switch will change the code. MAKE SURE BOTH THE RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER HAVE THE SAME
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS.

EXAMPLE:
WPC2-2X2X-1 is a 2 speed pump model with the Low Speed ON continuously until High
Speed is actuated by the Time Clock. Button 1/Circuit 1 is wired standard. Button 2/Circuit 2 is
wired as a Time Clock Bypass & JVA which actuates a JVA valve and turns on the High Speed
pump (if Time Clock is already ON, then this action will keep the High Speed ON even after the
Time Clock has Shut OFF) with the push of the Button 2 on the remote or flipping the Circuit 2
switch to ON. And this equipment is equipped with a Freeze Protect device which will turn on
the High Speed pump when outside temperatures drop near freezing.
