Power Control Center
The Power Control Center allows backyard water gardeners the flexibility of installing a pond where no electricity is near the pond site. Now you can control the operation of your pumps, U.V. Clarifiers, underwater lights, and other necessary items with the Power Control Center. The ultimate luxury to power your pond.
This has to be "The best thing since sliced bread" for ponders. One of the biggest problems with installing a pond is to add electricity near the pond. Now with this Power Control Center you have 50 ft of Grounded Cord. This means 50 ft from your current electrical outlet. Also, you have 4 - 120V electrical outlets and 2 - 12V low voltages outlets. And get this, there is are 2 digital timers: 1 for the 120V and 1 for the 12V side.
- Class II Rated (see info below)
- There are total of six progamable options per timer per day
- Easy to Set Digital Timers control both line voltage & low voltage
- Also Great for Holiday & Security Lighting
- Weather Resistant Construction for Safety & Durability
- Mounting Bosses for Mounting Convenience
- Dimensions: 8.25"W x 5"D x 6.5"H
- 50' Heavy Duty 12-Gauge Power Cord
- Input: 120V; 50/60Hz
- Output 1: 120V, 60Hz, 5A max with timer I
- Output 2: 120V, 60Hz, 5A max
- Output 3: 12V AC, 150 Watts with timer II
- Total Output 10A max
NOTE: Cal Pump transformers reduce 120 volt to a safe, economical 12 volt power supply for many low voltage applications, with the added convience of programmable digital timers. These transformers eliminate the risk of electrical shock to children and animals if the cable is accidentally damaged or cut. Ul Listed for underwater & dry applications. Transformer is solid state and may cause flickering with some LED fixtures.
Installation
Locate the Power Control Center (PC50-15) in a dry and protected area. There are mounting bosses on the back of the unit for convenient installation. It is recommended that the Power Control Center (PC50-15) be mounted at least 3 feet above ground level. You may plug the unit directly into a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
Timer Controls
The minimum setting time is one minute and the maximum setting time is 24 hours. There are a total of six ON-OFF positions. The light will stay lit during the programming for one minute.
SETTINGS:
MODE- Switch to programming (the word "MODE" does not appear).
RUN - Automatic Operation
ON
OFF
- Plug the power supply cord into an outlet that is 120 volts AC 60 Hz.
- Press "RESET" button once to clear all programs.
- Setting the time: Press "SET" and then press "HOUR" and "MIN" button to adjust the current time (Military Time).
- Press the "SET" once and the screen will display "1 ON".
- Press "HOUR" button until desired time is reached.
- Press "MIN" button until desired time is reached.
- Press "SET" button to set the "off time" and the "ON" will disappear from the screen. Now press the "HOUR" and "MON" button to set the "off time".
- Repeat Steps 3 through 6 for maximum of 36 programmable options per day.
- When finished programming, press the "MODE" button until "RUN" is displayed on the screen to start operation.
To override the program, press the "MODE" button until "ON" is displayed. To turn off, press "MODE" button until "OFF" is displayed. For automatic operation, you must put the unit back into "RUN" mode.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with a RESET button. In the event of a programming malfunction, press the RESET button. This will clear all programs. Repeat STEPS 1 through 9 to program timer.
CAUTION:
- To reduce risk of fire, replace only with the same Type 15A, 125V (or above) fuse.
- Not for use with dimmers.
- Disconnect all power supplies before servicing.
- If installation involves running wiring through a building structure, special wiring methods are required. Consult as a qualified certified electrician
Class II transformers that are pool/spa rated. National Electrical Code 2008
“680.23 Underwater Luminaires.
This section covers all luminaires installed below the normal water level of the pool.
(A) General.
(1) Luminaire Design, Normal Operation. The design of an underwater luminaire supplied from a branch circuit either directly or by way of a transformer meeting the requirements of this section shall be such that, where the luminaire is properly installed without a ground-fault circuit interrupter, there is no shock hazard with any likely combination of fault conditions during normal use (not relamping).
(2) Transformers. Transformers used for the supply of underwater luminaires, together with the transformer enclosure, shall be listed as a swimming pool and spa transformer. The transformer shall be an isolated winding type with an ungrounded secondary that has a grounded metal barrier between the primary and secondary windings.”
