4. Setup and Installation
This motor is intended as a direct replacement for existing Intermatic timer motors. Always ensure the replacement motor matches the voltage and specifications of the original motor.
- Power Disconnection: Before beginning any work, turn off all power to the pool timer at the main circuit breaker. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Access Timer Enclosure: Open the timer enclosure door. Depending on your specific timer model, you may need a screwdriver to remove screws securing the cover.
- Identify and Disconnect Old Motor: Locate the existing timer motor. Note how it is mounted and connected. Carefully disconnect the two electrical wires from the old motor. You may need to loosen terminal screws.
- Remove Old Motor: Unmount the old motor from its position. It is typically held in place by screws or clips.
- Install New Motor: Position the new Intermatic WG157010D motor in the same location as the old one. Secure it using the appropriate screws or clips. Ensure the motor's shaft properly engages with the timer's gear mechanism.
- Wire New Motor: Connect the two white electrical wires of the new motor to the corresponding terminals in the timer. Ensure connections are tight and secure. Refer to your specific timer's wiring diagram if unsure.
- Close Enclosure: Carefully close and secure the timer enclosure door.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the main circuit breaker.
- Test Operation: Observe the timer to ensure the motor is functioning correctly and advancing the timer mechanism.
If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified electrician or pool technician.
5. Operating Instructions
The WG157010D is a motor component of a larger timer system. Its operation is integrated with the timer's overall function. Once installed, the motor continuously drives the timer mechanism as long as power is supplied to it, allowing the timer to accurately track time and activate/deactivate connected pool equipment according to its set schedule.
- Ensure the timer's clock face is set to the correct time after installation.
- Verify that the ON/OFF trippers (if applicable to your timer model) are correctly positioned for your desired schedule.
- The motor operates silently; a lack of movement on the timer's clock face or an incorrect schedule indicates a potential issue.
6. Maintenance
The Intermatic WG157010D motor is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks of the overall timer system are recommended.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the timer enclosure for signs of moisture, insect intrusion, or physical damage.
- Wiring Connections: Ensure all electrical connections remain tight and free from corrosion. (Always disconnect power before inspecting wiring.)
- Cleanliness: Keep the timer enclosure clean and free of debris.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Timer clock not advancing. | No power to the timer; faulty motor; gears jammed. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. If power is present, the motor may need replacement. Inspect for obstructions in gears. |
| Timer making unusual noise. | Motor malfunction; foreign object in gears. | Disconnect power and inspect the motor and gears for obstructions. If noise persists, the motor may be failing and require replacement. |
