FCC WARNING
ELECTRICAL RATINGS
Do not exceed the maximum electrical ratings of the WPC-1. A circuit breaker rated at 20Amps
at 120VAC must be installed in the breaker panel to connect to the WPC-1 power input. Circuit
1 and Circuit 2 are each rated for use of up to 8Amps @ 120VAC. The Pump Relay is rated at
a
maximum of 3HP @ 240VAC.
Basic safety precautions should be observed when operating the WPC-1 product and other
associated equipment.
1. A qualified electrician must install the WPC-1 in accordance to the National and Local
Electrical Codes.
2. The WPC-1 must not be less then 5 feet (3 meters in Canada) from inside edge of pool.
ONLY USE COPPER CONDUCTORS.
3. Do not exceed the maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices, and current
carrying capacity of conductors.
4. For the bonding, grounding, installing, and wiring of underwater lights to the WPC-1, refer
to Article 680 of the National Electrical Code or Article 68 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
5. This device should never operate equipment that could cause property damage, bodily
injury, or death should it be activated unexpectedly.
6.
Never allow children to operate the WPC
-
1 unsupervised.

Power Connections:
To wire the WPC-1 use insulate
d
COPPER wire only, 12 gauge minimum.
Run a ½” to ¾” conduit from the main
breaker panel to the WPC-1. Pull
appropriate wires from the main breake
r
p
anel to the WPC-1 unit. To make powe
r
connections remove 3/8 inches o
f
insulation from wire ends. Insert the bare
end of wires under the pressure plate o
f
terminals (Power Input, HOT). Use 1/8-
in. flat head screwdriver to tighten
terminal screws firmly (4.4 lb-in
minimum). Connect the house common
to the Power Inputs NEUTRAL terminal.
Connect another HOT wire to the
Timeclocks T/C POWER terminal.
Connect a house common to the
Timeclocks T/C NEUTRAL. Install a 20
Amp circuit breaker in the main breake
r
p
anel and connect the HOT wires from
the WPC-1.
LOCATION
Install the WPC-1 enclosure using the mounting plates included with each enclosure. The WPC-
1 is housed in a Type 3R rainproof enclosure and can be mounted anywhere between the pool
equipment and the breaker panel.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
FOLLOW PROPER WIRING PRACTICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
WARNING
•TURN OFF INCOMING POWER BEFORE SERVICING EQUIPMENT.
•ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE WORK MUST BE PERFORMED BY
QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL PERSONELL ONLY.
•VERIFY ALL ELECTRICAL RATINGS BEFORE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

Power Connection with GFCI
To wire the WPC-1 with the use of
a
GFCI, punch out the GFCI knockou
t
on the side of the WPC-1 enclosure.
Install an outdoor rated GFCI. Using
COPPER wire only, 12 gauge
minimum, connect the GFCI from the
LOAD side to the HOT terminal on
the POWER INPUT of the WPC-1.
Connect the NEUTRAL from the
LOAD side of the GFCI to the
NEUTRAL terminal from the WPC-1.
Connect the GROUND of the GFCI to
the EQUIP. GND. bar. Wire the HOT
from the GFCI’s LINE side to the
20Amp circuit breaker in the main
b
reaker panel as discussed earlier.
Connect the NEUTRAL from the
GFCI’s LINE side to the house
common. From the GFCI’s LINE
side, connect a wire from the HOT to
the Timeclocks T/C POWER
terminal. From the NEUTRAL of the
LINE side on the GFCI, connect to the
T/C NEUTRAL on the terminal block.
NOTE: Do not connect the Timecloc
k
Inputs to the LOAD side of the GFCI.

If this product is used to connect underwater lights
directly, 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-1 through conduits connected to the bottom of the WPC-1. As illustrated, connect
lights that will be operated by the Circuit 1 Switch to the Circuit 1 terminal. Connect the Neutral
to the Neutral terminal. Connect the Ground to the Equip. GND. bar. Repeat for Circuit 2. Do
not exceed 8Amps per circuit.
NOTE: Some models with optional equipment will have Circuit 1 or Circuit 2 or both Circuits
p
re-wired for other functions.

Connecting Jazz, Jazz-Spa, System 6004, and System 6004-AS*
For proper operation of these products both Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 must be wired so that the
p
ower is controlled through Circuit 1 and the color wheels functions are controlled through
Circuit 2. Follow each products installation manual for proper installation. Run appropriately
rate wires from the unit to the WPC-1 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-1 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
p
re-wired for other functions and therefore eliminates the ability for this type of wiring.
If this product is used to connect underwater lights
directly, refer to 1999 NEC 680-21(b), 2002 NEC
680-24(b) or CEC 68-060, 062 and 066 for details.
