Connecting a Pump Start Relay

NOTE: Complete this section only if you have a pump start relay installed. A pump start relay is a device that uses a signal from the controller to actuate a separate electrical circuit to energize a pump to provide water to your system.

The controller should be mounted at least a 15 ft (4.5 m) away from both the pump start relay and pump to minimize any potential electrical interference.

  1. Route a pair of wires from the pump relay into the controller.
  2. Connect a common wire to the C (Common) terminal inside the controller and connect the remaining wire from the pump start relay to the P terminal.

Relay holding current draw must not exceed .30 amps. Do not connect the controller directly to the pump or damage to the controller will result.
