CONTROL PANEL FOR INDOOR/OUTDOOR USE
Suitable for Pool Equipment Control and for Direct Connection of Underwater Lights
ELECTRICAL RATINGS: See inside Enclosure Door
Intermatic Pool and Spa load centers are
complete in construction and shall be installed
in accordance with NEC requirements as
applicable. These enclosures are provided
with provisions for single-gang certified
switching devices and an extra low voltage
transformer certified for use with underwater
pool lights with a breaker base. Enclosures
with breaker bases are certified as industrial
controls for specific use.
The Transformers supplied in these panels
are specifically designed to supply 12 volts
to underwater pool/spa lights. A grounded
shield between the primary and secondary
winding assures safe operation and the built-
in circuit protection will disconnect power to
the transformer in case of overload. These
transformers are suitable for direct connection
to underwater Pool and Spa lights.
The all-weather enclosure contains provisions
to install a switch inside as well as a switch or
GFCI receptacle on the outside.

the back of the enclosure and attach mounting
brackets to enclosure.
2. Select the proper location for the Control
Panel and hang enclosure on a flat vertical
surface or other support, using hardware
suitable for the purpose.
3. Prepare the necessary conduit runs, terminate
them at both ends and pull in the conductors
as specified by the installation layout.
4. If external bonding is required, install a
bonding lug at bottom of enclosure and bond
installation according to code requirements.
5. The enclosure must be grounded as required
by NEC, Article 680 and any applicable
local codes.For Canadian installations, the
transformer supply circuit must be protected
by a ground fault circuit interrupter.
6. If this enclosure is used 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 further details.
7. Make sure that all unused transformer taps
(leads) are separately insulated.
8. Use the tables at the top of page 3 as a guide
to determine the correct wire size.
9. Check voltage at lamp terminals after
installation. It should be 12+0.3 volts.
10. Install front panel over wiring compartment.
