I went to connect my IC40 SWG today and was confused when I saw the wiring from the PB/electrician. It took me awhile to figure everything out and for the most part it seems to make sense except for how the Intelliflo3 pump is wired to the relay. I attached an image showing the wiring of the relay for the main filter pump. Unfortunately the electrician used red wire for everything. He also has my booster pump on my main filter relay (not his fault, the booster pump was originally going to be used as my filter pump and we switched it mid job.)
But for some reason, the electrician has the breaker powering the LOAD terminals (#2 and #4) on the relay. The Intellicenter article here says this is a common mistake, but doesn't really expand on this. Terminals #1 and #3, which would typically be energized are NOT connected to the breaker. I That said, everything works. I can turn the pump on and off, I have control of the Intelliflo, pool lights all work (aux #1-3), landscape lighting (aux #6 and 7) also works and can be controlled by the Intellicenter.
Can someone advise me what to do next? Since everything is working, should I not mess with it? Can someone explain WHY the electrician wired it this way? Finally, will my IC40 work the way it is wired? It seems to me that the line and load terminals on the relay are reversed, and indeed, you can see in the photo below that the yellow and white wires from the SWG transformer are going to the LINE side terminals (where they should typically go to the LOAD side terminals, #2 and #4.) So, should I just connect the 4 pin SWG power cable and give it a shot? Or do I need to fix this wiring before firing up the SWG?
Thanks!
