• Connect the main power supply to the "TIMER POWER" terminals, ensuring correct voltage (120V ou 240V).
• Connect the equipment to be controlled (e.g., pumps) to the respective "CIRCUIT 1," "CIRCUIT 2," and "CIRCUIT 3" LINE and LOAD terminals.
• Ensure all connections are secure and use appropriate wire gauges for the load.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento

The PE153 features an intuitive control panel for programming and manual operation.

Panel de control rematadoview:

• Botón PROG: Cycles through various menu options for programming.
• Botón ENTER: Saves changes and exits the current programming mode.
• Up/Down Arrow Keys: Used to navigate menus and adjust program settings (e.g., time, event type).
• ON/OFF Buttons (Circuit 1, 2, 3): Manually turn individual circuits ON or OFF.
• Lectura LCD: Displays current time, program events, and settings.

Pasos de programación:

1. Preme o PROG key to enter the programming menu. Continue pressing PROG to cycle through available options (e.g., Set Time, Set Date, Program Events).
2. Usa o Teclas de frecha arriba/abaixo to adjust values or select specific settings within a menu option.
3. Once a setting is adjusted, press the ENTRAR key to save the change and proceed.
4. To set ON/OFF events for each circuit, navigate to the "Program Events" section using the PROG chave.
5. Select the desired circuit (Load 1, Load 2, Load 3) and then define the ON and OFF times for up to three events per day.
6. After setting all desired programs, press ENTRAR para gardar e saír do modo de programación.

Anulación manual:

To manually turn a circuit ON or OFF, simply press the corresponding ON/OFF button for Circuit 1, Circuit 2, or Circuit 3. The timer will automatically resume its programmed schedule after the override period, or when the next programmed event occurs.

6. Mantemento

The Intermatic PE153 is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Inspección visual: Periodically inspect the enclosure for any signs of damage, corrosion, or moisture ingress. Ensure the door seal is intact.
• Comprobación do cableado: With power disconnected at the main panel, visually inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or overheating.
• Limpeza: Keep the LCD screen and control buttons clean and free of dust or debris using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Garda de seguridade: Always ensure the internal safety guard is in place, especially after any wiring adjustments.

7 Solución de problemas

If the PE153 is not functioning as expected, consider the following basic troubleshooting steps:

• Sen pantalla/alimentación:
  • Check the main circuit breaker for the timer and connected equipment.
  • Verify that the power supply wiring to the "TIMER POWER" terminals is secure and correct.
  • The unit has a 36-hour backup time for settings during power outages; however, prolonged outages may require resetting the time.
• Equipment Not Turning ON/OFF:
  • Confirm that the program settings for the specific circuit are correct (ON/OFF times, days).
  • Check the manual ON/OFF button for the circuit to ensure it's not in an overridden state.
  • Inspect the wiring connections for the affected circuit (LINE and LOAD) to ensure they are secure.
  • Verify that the connected equipment is functioning correctly independently of the timer.
• Hora/data incorrecta:
  • Access the programming menu using the PROG button and adjust the time and date settings as needed.

For persistent issues or complex problems, it is recommended to contact Intermatic customer support or a qualified electrician.
