Connecting a Pump Start Relay
CAUTION: To prevent timer damage, ensure the 
relay current draw does not exceed 0.30 Amps. Do 
not connect the timer directly to the pump starter. 
1.  For pump relay wires, install a 1/2″ (13mm) conduit 
adapter and conduit.
2.  Connect a wire pair to the pump relay terminals and 
route the cable through the conduit and into the timer 
housing.
3.  Connect one wire to the terminal labeled COM (10). 
Connect the remaining wire to the terminal labeled 
PUMP/MV (9) as shown below.
CAUTION: To prevent pump damage due to  
excessive back pressure, remove all unused zone 
modules. Connect a jumper wire from an unused zone 
terminal to a zone terminal with a valve connected. 
Note: 
Refer to “Pump Control” section on page 29 for 
important pump circuit control information.

WARNING:
 
AC power wiring must be installed and connected 
by qualified personnel only. All electrical compo-
nents and installation procedures must comply 
with all applicable local and national electrical 
codes. Some codes may require a means of dis-
connection from the AC power source installed in 
the fixed wiring and having a contact separation 
of at least 0.120
 in the line and neutral poles. 
Make sure the power source is OFF prior to con-
necting the timer.
