“230v motor wiring;
You need a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) Center Off switch.
One of the Hot leads goes the the center pole on one side of the switch.
The high speed terminal (L1) goes to one of the side poles on the same side of the switch as the first hot lead.
The low speed terminal (A) goes to the other side pole one the same side of the switch as the first hot lead.
The second hot lead goes to the other side of the switch.
The L2 (Com) terminal wires to one of the switch terminals on the same side of the switch as the second hot.
A jumper needs to be ran between the side poles of the switch terminals that the second hot is going to.
Maybe this drawing will make it a little clearer. Not exactly how I described but close enough. I'd wire it without the first switch (DPST) and break both lines through the DPDT Center Off switch.â€

Anyone know where I might find this pic?
My question is:
Since this refers to a DPDT switch, and I have a GE outdoor 15087 time switch that can be configured as a DPDT, I was wondering if anyone ever tried to do the above with a time switch like the GE 15087. It is selectable to 120vac/240vac/277vac
The reason is I have an AO Smith B2982, and I cant afford expensive timer and this only cost 55 bucks. I read somewhere in here that someone did this with a simple flip DPDT switch.
I‘ll post the pump label. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. BTW this is a great site.
I’m can take this timer back since it’s still boxed. I suppose a timer that has 3 circuits would be best but what to buy that will hurt the least? I have been working on this for about 2.5 weeks and I’m afraid to look under the pool cover. There are probably creatures growing in there by now.
I tried to upload the pic of the pump label but it wouldn't let me.
