Installation of the Intermatic RC2163BFE system requires electrical expertise. It is strongly recommended that a qualified, licensed electrician perform the installation to ensure compliance with all applicable electrical codes and safety standards.

  • Мантаж: Securely mount the Type 3R metal load center in a suitable outdoor or indoor location, away from direct water spray and excessive heat.
  • Праводка: Connect the main power supply to the load center. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram located on the inside of the enclosure door (see Figure 2) for specific connections of the filter pump, heater, and other pool/spa equipment.
  • Ўстаноўка выключальніка: Utilize the eight available breaker spaces for necessary circuit protection for your pool/spa equipment.
  • Ўстаноўка прывада: Install the two PE24VA valve actuators onto the appropriate pool/spa valves. Connect the actuator wiring to the control system as per the wiring diagram.
  • Кіраванне абагравальнікам: Connect the 3-wire heater control system to your pool/spa heater according to the heater manufacturer's instructions and the RC2163BFE wiring diagram.

Важна: Before energizing the system, double-check all wiring connections for correctness and security. Ensure proper grounding.

5. Настройка

After successful installation and power-up, configure the system for your specific pool/spa operation.

  1. Усталяваць бягучы час: Use the digital timer interface to set the current time of day. Refer to the timer's specific instructions for detailed programming steps.
  2. Program ON/OFF Cycles: Program the desired ON/OFF times for your pool filter pump and other connected loads. The timer allows for 24-hour scheduling.
  3. Configure Pool/Spa Modes: The system includes a switch to select between Pool and Spa modes. Ensure the valve actuators are correctly calibrated to align with these modes.
  4. Heater Temperature Settings: If connected to a dual thermostat heater/heat pump, set the desired pool and spa temperatures on the heater unit itself. The RC2163BFE will signal the heater to switch between these pre-set temperatures based on the selected mode.

6. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

The RC2163BFE system offers flexible control options:

  • Аўтаматычная праца: Once programmed, the system will automatically control the ON/OFF cycles of your pool/spa equipment and switch valve actuators according to the set schedule.
  • Ручное перавызначэнне: The digital timer typically includes a manual override function to temporarily turn loads ON or OFF outside of the programmed schedule.
  • Spa Mode Digital Override: To activate spa mode and its associated settings (e.g., heater temperature, specific pump cycles), use the dedicated digital override timer. This allows for temporary activation of spa functions without altering the main pool schedule.
  • Пульт дыстанцыйнага кіравання (калі ёсць): If a wireless receiver/transmitter or Ascend Smart In-Wall timer is integrated, follow their respective instructions for remote operation of the system.

7. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your control system.

  • Enclosure Inspection: Periodically inspect the metal enclosure for any signs of damage, corrosion, or water ingress. Ensure the door latch is secure.
  • Праверка праводкі: Annually, or if issues arise, have a qualified electrician inspect all wiring connections for tightness and integrity.
  • Праверка прывада: Observe the valve actuators during mode changes to ensure smooth and complete rotation of the valves. Clean any debris that might impede their movement.
  • Timer Battery (if applicable): Some digital timers may have a backup battery. Consult the timer's specific manual for battery replacement procedures if the time display is lost during power outagэс.
  • Уборка: Keep the exterior of the enclosure clean and free of dust and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

8. Выпраўленне непаладак

If the Intermatic RC2163BFE system is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

  • Няма харчавання: Check the main circuit breaker supplying power to the unit. Ensure it is in the "ON" position. Verify all internal connections are secure.
