FREEZE PROBE KIT

INSTRUCTION SHEET

INTRODUCTION – If the Intermatic panel in which you are installing this Multipurpose control and

freeze probe accessory contains no low voltage compartment raceway, you will need to install the

Intermatic Class 2 Wiring Isolation kit included with your Multipurpose control mechanism. If you need

to order the Class 2 Wiring Isolation Kit, the Part Number to order is 156PA12976A. NEC, UL & CSA

requires a double barrier of insulation between high and low voltage wiring when both are present in

the same compartment, and this Class 2 Wiring Isolation Kit satisfies the requirements for separation

of circuits in the UL, CSA, and NEC standards. The corrugated tubing provides this double barrier once

installed over the low voltage accessory wiring or cords. If you have the newest Intermatic Control

panel with the low voltage raceway, it is not necessary to install the Class 2 Wiring Isolation kit. Please

follow the below instructions carefully and remember to remove power when installing both the freeze

sensor and isolation kit.

Step #1

Install the Shutter Bushing through one of the

available 3/4” knockouts at the bottom of the enclo-

sure. If a low voltage raceway is present, choose

a knockout at the entrance of the raceway.

Step #3

Route the freeze probe cord from the bottom of the

enclosure, into and through the shutter bushing.

Connect the probe connector to the back of the

Multipurpose control. Snap the freeze probe

onto a nearby piece of conduit near the pool

or spa equipment pad.

Step #4

Rotate the mechanism until the Tabs line up with

the slots. Slide the bottom half of the mechanism

into slots, and push the top half into the bracket

until the mechanism snaps into the bracket slot.

Step #2

Freeze Probe Connection

Locate the freeze probe

connector on the back of

the Multipurpose control.

The connector is polar

-ized and can only plug in

one way. Do not force

the connector on the

wrong way.

NOTE

If low voltage raceway is present,

route cord through raceway and

attach to back of control.

NOTE

If conduit is to be

used, the shutter

bushing is not

necessary.

SKIP STEPS 5 AND 6 If LOW VOLTAGE RACEWAY IS PRESENT IN ENCLOSURE AS THIS PROVIDES THE REQUIRED SEPARATION OF CIRCUITS Step #5 Example #1 Cut the corrugated tubing so there is enough length to reach from the bottom of the control down to the shutter bushing. Slip the tubing over the freeze probe cord. Step #5 Example #2 If there is not enough corrugated tubing available in the kit to install two separate tubes, a splice connecting one tube to the adjacent tube is acceptable.
