How to Wire a P1353ME

The Intermatic P1353ME is a three-circuit digital time switch designed for use with a pump in a pool or spa. It can automatically switch pumping loads according to three different preset daily schedules that you program. In the case of an indoor facility, it can give you control over applications such as lighting, heating and or air conditioning. After you have mounted the P1353ME to the wall, wiring it correctly is of paramount importance. An improper job could lead to energy loss or short circuits of your pump.
