Follow each products installation manual for proper installation. Run appropriatelyrate wires from the unit to the WPC-1 no less then 12 Gauge COPPER wires. Connect thePower to the Circuit 1 terminal at one end and to the BLACK wire on the Fiberstars unit.Connect the neutral to the NEUTRAL terminal in the WPC-1 and to the WHITE wire on the Fiberstars unit. Connect the grounding cable to the EQUIP. GND. and on the other end to the GREEN cable. Finally, for synchronization operation, connect the C/W CONTROL cable to theCircuit 2 terminal and on the other end to the RED wire on the Fiberstars unit. You may connect up to 8Amps of Fiberstars units to Circuit 1. NOTE: Some models with optional equipment will have Circuit 2 or Circuit 1 or both Circuitspre-wired for other functions and therefore eliminates the ability for this type of wiring.

http://www.fiberstars.com 79-15053-00 REV. C Page 11 of 16 Flathead Screwdriver Repeater Mounting The WPC-1 is equipped with a signal repeater that can be mounted up to 10 feet from the WPC-1 unit. This repeater receives signals from the wireless remote and sends that signal to the WPC-1 via the 10 foot cable. Establish a location for the Repeater that is in line of sight from where the wireless remote will be used most frequently and that is no more then 75 feet from furthest wherethe remote will be used. NOTE: If extension is needed, use Fiberstars part number 94-15098-00and follow installation instructions supplied with the Repeater Extension. To mount the Repeater, carefully insert a small flathead screwdriver into groove between theDome and Base approximately where the locking dimples are located. Pry the Dome out of on of the locking dimples. Then carefully insert the small flathead screwdriver into the groove betweenthe Dome and the Base in an adjacent locking dimple and pry the Dome out. Then separate theDome from the Base by hand. Using the supplied self-drilling screws, locate a suitable mounting surface and screw the base to this surface. Note that the marking “TOP” must be in the 12o’clock position and the wire slit must be in the 6 o’clock position. Do not over tighten thescrews as it may damage the Repeater base. Realign the Repeater Dome to the Base and ensurethat the wire is exiting the base through the slit and the Locking Dimples are aligned with the10 feet Repeater Dome/Base groove Locking Dimple Orientation Marker Mounting Holes Base Slit for Repeater Wire Repeater Dome Repeater Base Mounting Screws

Foroperation with the wireless transmitter, the switchesneed to be in the REMOTE position. To manuallyturn ON the devices connected to either Circuit 1 or Circuit 2, flip the switches to the ON position. Whena circuit is in the ON position, the Wireless Remotewill not be able to turn OFF the respective circuit.To turn OFF the devices manually, flip the respective switch to the MIDDLE or OFF position. NOTE: In the OFF position, the wireless remoteoperation will be bypassed. To re-enable the wireless remote operation, flip the switch back to theREMOTE position. NOTE: If the units turn ONwhen the switch is returned to the REMOTEposition, simply use the wireless remote to turn OFFthe units if desired. For Synchronization of Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 Circuit 2 control Circuit 1 control WIRELESS REMOTE OPERATION NOTE: The toggle switches on the WPC-1 must be set to REMOTE for wireless operation. The POWER ON/OFF buttonscontrol the individual circuits independently.With each push of the button, the WPC-1 toggles the individual circuits from ON to OFFand vice versa. For Synchronizationoperation, simply push the SYNC ON/OFFbutton. NOTE: If all circuits are off when theSYNC ON/OFF button is pressed, all circuitswill be turned to ON. If any one of the circuitsare in the ON state by the wireless remote,then when the SYNC ON/OFF button ispressed all circuits will be turned OFF and theSYNC ON/OFF must be pressed to turn allcircuits on simultaneously.

In the example below, the current time is set for 9:00pm. NOTE: Only turn the Timer dial clockwise or the timer will be damaged. Once the time has been set to the current time, set the hours of the Pump operation by “snapping” the timer tabs inwardstowards the center. NOTE: Each tab represents 15 minutes of operation and tabs setinwards towards the center is for OFF operations and ON when the tabs are set outwards as illustrated. In the example below, the Pump will be off from 12:00pm to 11:45pm. Once the time and time of operation has been set, ensure that the Timer function switch is set to Auto for timer control of the Pump as illustrated below. To turn off timers automatic functions,set the Timer function switch to OFF. To manually turn on the Pump, set the Timer functionswitch to the ON position. NOTE: When in the ON position, the Pump will continue to run until the Timer function switch is set to Auto where the tabs at the Set Point is in the OFFposition or if the Timer function switch is rotated to the OFF position.

RECEIVER DIP SWITCHES – Turn OFF power to the WPC-1 from the breaker panel. Open the enclosure and unscrew the face plate. Disconnect the Molex connector that connects the front panel controls to the receiver unitand set the face plate on a safe location where it will not be bent, scratched, or impact forces applied to the components or the face plate itself. Unscrew the four (4) screws holding the receiver to the base of the WPC-1 control box. Unscrew the four (4) screws located on the back of the receiver to release the cover. NOTE: Take notice of how the wires enter and exit the receiver. Remove the cover and look on the PCB to locate the DIP switch as illustrated. TRANSMITTER DIP SWITCHES – Remove all screws from rear of remote. Separate the bottom cover from the top cover. DIP SWITCH ADJUSTMENT – The four DIP switches have an ON and an OFF position. Changing just one DIP switch will change the code. MAKE SURE BOTH THE RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER HAVE THE SAMEDIP SWITCH SETTINGS. CODE ADJUSTMENTS

Button 1/Circuit 1 is wired standard. Button 2/Circuit 2 is wired as a Time Clock Bypass & JVA which actuates a JVA valve and turns on the High Speed pump (if Time Clock is already ON, then this action will keep the High Speed ON even after the Time Clock has Shut OFF) with the push of the Button 2 on the remote or flipping the Circuit 2 switch to ON. And this equipment is equipped with a Freeze Protect device which will turn on the High Speed pump when outside temperatures drop near freezing. 79-15053-00 REV. C Page 16 of 16
