MultiWave Control System Programming and User Guide
Equipment Overview
(PE653) Receiver
The receiver is the central hub of the MultiWave. It receives commands from the controller
to activate circuits. The receiver controls the ON/OFF operation of up to ve circuits. It
can also communicate with variable speed pumps. The receiver maintains data up to 8
hours in case of power loss.
(PE953) Controller
The hand-held controller transmits user commands to the receiver or Z-Wave home
control devices and displays the status of the installed equipment.
The unit, which features a backlit display, is water resistant and shock resistant. It requires
three (3) AA batteries with an expected battery life of one year.
When the components of a specic system are linked to a network, unique network ID
codes supplied by the receiver prevent unauthorized use of the system by neighboring
systems.
(P5043ME) Expansion Module (Optional)
The P5043ME controls up to four 24 VAC water valve actuators. There are two dedicated
actuators for the pool and spa, one for a water feature (i.e. waterfall, fountain, slide) and
one for the solar heating/cooling feature.
In addition to the actuators, the P5043ME can control up to two heaters (1 heater dedicated
to the pool and 1 dedicated to the spa), can control other variable speed pumps (limited
to Jandy, Hayward, Century, Marathon or Speck), and can be controlled by a dry contact
switch. The USB port allows for MultiWave system updates.
The P5043ME is ideal for those pool and spa combination applications with the additional
possibility of a water feature, solar feature, variable speed pump, 1 or 2 heaters and/or a
dry contact switch. The dry contact switch can be triggered by any switching device you may provide —
light switch, spring wound AUTO/OFF, wireless switch, relay and more.
