Installing Replacement Intermatic T104P Pool Timer
I am installing a replacement Intermatic T104P201 Pool Timer and have two set of red and white wires. I have rewired exactly as I thought it was befire and all that happens is the circuit breaker trips. Can I assume per the answer below to a similar question that the white is the same as the blacks.
Any other reasons it may be tripping? Other options to explore?
Thx!
"This switch is a "double-pole, single throw" switch, meaning that it opens and closes both hot wires simultaneously. Connect the black wire from the breaker panel to terminal 1 (line) and the black wire from your pool pump to terminal 2 (load). Connect the red wire from your breaker panel to terminal 3 (line) and the red wire from your pool pump to terminal 4 (load). Having said this, I would double-check the ratings plate on your pump motor to be sure it is 240 volts. It should be fed from a common-trip circuit breaker that disconnects both sides of the line when it is turned off."
