wiring of disconnecting AC power having a contact separation
of at least 0 .120" (3mm) in the line and neutral poles . The
connection wire must have insulation rated @ 105° C min .
The controller must be connected to a grounded power
source . Do not connect to one phase of a 3-phase power
supply used by a pump or other electrical equipment .
Prior to connecting controller wiring, verify that power has
been turned off at the source by using an AC volt meter .
1 . Install a 1/2" (13mm) NPT conduit body to the transformer thread-
ed fitting . From the conduit body, install electrical conduit routing to
the AC power source (per electrical code) .
2 . Pull 14 AWG through the conduit into the conduit body .
3 . Using twist-on wire connectors, attach the mating wires as shown
in Figure 10 .
4 . Close and secure the conduit body cover .
