GENERAL INFORMATION
DANGER
This Time Control with Freeze Protection is
designed to automatically control as well as
protect the Pool/Spa equipment and plumbing
against freeze damage. The Control, if wired
according to instructions, turns ON/OFF the
Filter Pump on a daily schedule and also turns
ON the Filter Pump when the air temperature
(where this Control is located) drops below
the temperature set by the thermostat dial
(between 33˚F and 42˚F). Nevertheless, the
Control is not intended to be a substitute for
insulation, coverings or maintenance.
It is self-contained in an indoor-outdoor, beige
rainproof enclosure and designed to operate
on 240 Volt, 60 cycle only.
Model PF1102MT is a mechanism only,
functions just like Model PF1102T and
fits (snaps into) any Intermatic Pool
Panel, Models T10000R, T30000R or
T40000R Series.

WARNING

Risk of injury or property damage!
Do not install or operate this equipment and other associated equipment without basic safety
precautions.
Read and follow the safety instructions listed below and other basic safety precautions before
installation or operation of this control and other associated equipment.
1. This control must be installed by a qualified person, according to the national and local electrical
codes.
2. Install this control not less than 5 feet (3 meters in Canada) from inside edge of pool and 1 foot
(30cm) above ground.
3. USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY rated 75˚C minimum.
4. Do not exceed maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices and current carrying
capacity of conductors.
5. For control grounding, bonding, installing and the wiring of underwater lights, refer to Article 680
of the National Electrical Code or Article 68 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
6. The control should not operate any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property
damage should it be activated unexpectedly.
INSTALLATION
1. Select the proper outdoor location for the
Control and prepare the necessary conduit run(s)
required by the installation layout.
2. Hang enclosure on a flat vertical surface or other
support, using hardware suitable for the
purpose.
3. Properly terminate conduits at both ends and
pull-in the conductors (Min.75˚C Rated) as
specified by the installation layout.
4. Select the appropriate wiring diagram on page
4 of this manual and make LINE and LOAD (Pump)
connections as shown. First identify each lead by
color. The LINE connections for 240 Volt supply are
Black and Red. Connect pump to Blue and Yellow
leads. Make sure the installation is
properly grounded.
5. If the Control is installed in location where it is
exposed to direct sun most of the day, extend 8
inches of the copper capillary tube of the
thermostat into an open ended (plastic or metal)
conduit, about 10 inches long, installed at bottom of
the enclosure. Handle capillary tube with care!
6. TEST INSTALLATION:
a. Turn thermostat dial to its lowest setting and
place crushed ice (in plastic bag) inside
capillary coil of Thermostat.
b. Turn power ON to Control, wait one minute
then slowly turn thermostat dial counter
clockwise until Filter Pump starts.
c. Turn power OFF to Control, remove ice,
check wiring, reinstall front plate.
d. Turn power ON to Control and set Timer
and the Thermostat, see OPERATION
instructions on page 3.
INSTALLATION - MODEL PF1102MT
1. Install mechanism in any Intermatic Pool Panel
with only one Time Switch by snapping it into the
unused mounting bracket, furnished with the Panel.
TO SET FILTER TIMER, follow instructions on page 3. The length of the daily filtration/heating cycle depends
on many variables such as size, shape, and geographic location of the pool, water chemistry, type of pool
equipment, usage and season of year. If not sure, contact your local pool service professional for advice.
TO SET THERMOSTAT, turn dial to desired temperature between 33˚F and 42˚F. Remember, many variables,
such as the location of this Control, the location of the pool or spa, the location and insulation of the plumb-
ing, etc., must be considered before selecting the “turn ON” temperature of the Filter Pump. Your local pool
service professional is the best source of information. The Thermostat is factory set to turn OFF the Filter
Pump when the ambient temperature rises 5˚ F above its set point.
