Low-Voltage Wiring
Water Temperature Sensor
The Multi-Wave Control System comes equipped with
a Water Temperature Sensor. This sensor is needed
to monitor both the pool and spa water temperature
depending on the position of the diverter valves. It
must be installed for the thermostat control to work.
Power must be disconnected when connecting the
temp sensor. Only an Intermatic Sensor will work
with this controller. Follow these directions to install
and mount the water temperature sensor.
Drill a 3/8” hole in the pipe between the filter 1.
pump and filter and install the Water Temperature
Sensor with hose clamp (not provided). Ensure the
O-ring is in place.
Run the wire to the Receiving Device. Insert both 2.
wires into the 3rd and 4th terminals on the sensor
connection block and tighten the 3rd and 4th terminal block screws shown in Figure 3-22.
Freeze/Air Temperature Sensor
The Multi-Wave Control System uses an optional
Freeze /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 /
Air Temperature Sensor. Only an Intermatic Freeze /
Air Temperature Sensor will work with this controller.
Install the Freeze /Air Temperature Sensor outside 1.
the Receiving Device, 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 Receiving Device. There is a 2.
connector at the end of the wires coming from the sensor. For installation onto the PE653,
this connector will not be needed. Cut the connector off using a wire cutter, strip the wire
ends, and insert both wires into the 1st and 2nd terminals on the sensor connection block and
tighten the 1st and 2nd terminal block screws shown in Figure 3-23.
