Pentair MinMax NT Fireman's switch connection

The connection point is not critical as long as the fireman's switch is connected in series with the safety loop. For instance you may cut a wire connected to the pressure switch and use two wire nuts to connect the wires from the fireman's switch, one to each side of the cut wire.

I NEEDAND CAN'T FIND DIAGRAM FOR THE INTERMATIC T101P201 FIREMAN SWICH

1) T101P201 timer does not have a separate manual yet
http://www.poolandspacontrols.com/products/mechanical%20time%20switches/pool%20and%20spa%20time%20switches.aspx

2) However typical T101P201 timer is ordinary T101 timing mechanism inside Nema 3R beige-colored outdoor plastic enclosure, with additional fireman's switch.
Wiring for T101 shows on following link, and shows on door of timer enclosure:
Check that your timer terminals match illustrations because many timers can fit inside Intermatic enclosures.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-T104-Intermatic-timer.html#T101

3) Fireman switch wiring:
T101P201 has a fireman's switch that wires directly to the pool heater thermostat.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Intermatic-Firemans-switch-156T4042A.pdf
If you are not using the timer for pool heater, or if heater does not have connection for fireman's switch, then do not connect fireman switch wires, and just tape them out of the way.

I've installed a intermatic t101p201 which has a heater delay circuit - but can't get power to the heater through the delay switch when i turn the switch manually on - i haven't checked yet to...

Check that your pool heater supports optional fireman's switch
Black wires on firemans switch connect to pool heater. Power to fireman switch comes from pool equipment and not the timer.
If pool equipment does not support fireman, then cap off the wires.

Fireman switch turns off heater 15-20 minutes before turning off pump.
The purpose is so pool equipment lasts longer.

You can buy the fireman's switch separately, but if this is new timer, then switch is probably good.
Open following link to identify fireman's switch and related parts for the timer:

The front panel acts like there is no power.

Typically the intellitouch controller is wired to the "fireman" switch on the heater. If the switch is not closed the heater will not turn on. If the heater was wired to the controller through the power supply rather than the fireman switch and the fireman switch is not bypassed at the heater the problem you describe would be created.
