5.2 Wiring the Timer
WARNING: Ensure power is disconnected at the main breaker before proceeding with any wiring.
The PE723P features two independent circuits and auto-voltage detection. Refer to the internal wiring diagram and terminal block for correct connections.
- Route electrical conduits into the appropriate knockouts on the enclosure.
- Connect the incoming power supply (120-277 VAC) to the designated LINE terminals.
- Connect the load wires for Circuit 1 (e.g., pump) to the CIRCUIT 1 terminals.
- Connect the load wires for Circuit 2 (e.g., lights) to the CIRCUIT 2 terminals.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Close and secure the enclosure door.

9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Timer does not power on. | No power supply; tripped breaker; loose wiring. | Check circuit breaker. Verify power connections. Consult a qualified electrician. |
| Equipment does not turn ON/OFF as scheduled. | Incorrect programming; timer in MANUAL or SERVICE mode; Wi-Fi disconnected. | Verify schedules in the app. Ensure timer is in AUTO mode. Check Wi-Fi connection. |
| NETWORK LED is blinking or OFF. | No Wi-Fi connection; incorrect Wi-Fi credentials; router issue. | Re-attempt Wi-Fi pairing via the app. Check router status and signal strength. Ensure correct Wi-Fi password. |
| Cannot control via app. | No internet connection on phone or timer; app issue. | Check phone's internet connection. Verify timer's NETWORK LED is solid. Restart app or phone. |
