![]() 1. P1353ME Programmable timer P1353ME is a 3-circuit, 24 hour programmable timer with 3 on-off events per day, per circuit, repeated each day. The 3 circuits can control 3 separate loads (pump, lights, spa etc) ... and control each with same or different schedule .... or the P1353ME can control 2-speed pool pump and 1 other load depending on which of the 6 modes is set. Has a Countdown feature. Use 3 white buttons on face of timer to manually override programming, such as switching on the pool pump. Each of the three 17 amp relays is rated for 1 Hp pump/motor at 120V AC, or 3 Hp at 240 volt AC. Buy PE153 Buy: P1353ME timer replacement The electronics are protected by a fuse located on back of timer. Image of back of timer ![]() Or use jumper on back to select 240 volt AC. This is the voltage that powers the timer at terminals 1 and 2. Example wiring The 3 relays at terminals 3 thru 8 are dry; They receive no voltage when timer is connected to power. Relays can control either 120V or 240V AC. Power must be off before any wiring is done or accessories added. There are accessory connections on back of timer for firemen's switch and Intermatic 178PA28A freeze sensor. See image of installation Firemen switch turns off gas heater 15-20 minutes before pump is scheduled to turn off, while freeze sensor will turn pump ON if temperatures drop near freezing.

actuator![]() See image How it works: Connect 120V to white-black wires on back of the P4043ME, or connect 240V to red-black wires. Connect same 120 or 240 volt power to the remote switch connection for remote operation via ordinary single pole switch, spring-wound countdown timer, Intermatic radio receiver, home automation etc, or connect the remote switch terminals to the 5-channel PE653RC multiwave receiver shown below and use Intermatic hand held remote.. If a momentary switch, latching contactor etc is chosen instead of ordinary on-off switch, then move jumpers on back of P4043ME from 1-2 to 2-3. After connecting 120 or 240 volt power to the P4043ME, the internal transformer produces safe 24 volt AC output. When the 24 volt outputs are activated via the remote switch or the 5-channel PE653RC receiver shown below, it sends 24 volt through the 20' long 3-wire cable going to 2 or 3 PE24VA motorized actuators that rotate the water valves (installed as part of the pool-spa plumbing) causing the water flow to toggle from pool to spa.
