Intermatic timer and FPL On-Call box wiring

I’ve seen similar posts, but I want to be certain I get my wiring right so I don’t get a bigger problem.
Like an idiot, I didn’t take pictures before I removed my old timer (hardware, not me). I’ve read the diagrams (as well as seen the one for the FPL box), but my setup is yet different. I have four conduits coming into the timer box:


salt cell, red, black, green

FPL box, red, black, blue:

and pool pump, red, black (attached to blue wire) and green:

The green (grounds) are all attached to the grounding screw on the timer frame. Now, where do the others go?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Seeing pictures of wires is meaningless if they disappear off the edges of the pictures.

Show us complete pictures of your timer and where both ends of each wire run go to.

Post the wiring diagrams you are looking at.

Confirm the pump and SWG are 240V???

  • salt cell - red, black, green
  • FPL box - red, black, blue:
  • breaker box -red, black, two green
  • pool pump - red, black (attached to blue wire) and green

Timer Screws:
  1. Breaker black
  2. FPL red & Salt Black
  3. Breaker red & FPL black
  4. Pump Red & Salt Red
This wiring puts the timer first before the FPL box. That means when the pump is off the FPL box gets no power which I hope is okay with FPL. I have a general idea of what the FPL box does but not exactly sure how it should connect.

If the FPL box was put before the timer then your timer would stop running whenever the FPL box shutoff your power which would not make sense.

Maybe a FL member will chime in who is familiar with the FPL box.
