P1353ME is versatile timer, and can be wired many different ways, and wiring can vary depending on which mode is selected, and which loads are being controlled.

The key to understanding P1353ME wiring is that incoming voltage connects to terminals 1 and 2. This will power the timer mechanism and power the switches, but does not put any power to terminals 3 thru 8.
Terminals 3 thru 8 are 'dry' switches. There are three switches, and you have to connect power to each switch.

Terminals 3-4 are one switch, just like a light switch that turns on-off with timer programming. Terminals 5-6 are separate switch. Terminals 7-8 are separate switch. So there are three switches.

Also in different modes the switches can operated at the same time, or operate separately with different programming for each switch.

PE153 comes with P1353 timer.
The timer instruction manual is too long to copy.
Read manual, and add a comment with specific question about any part of manual.
Add as many comments as needed.

P1353 is 3-channel timer.
3-channels means that timer can control 3 separate circuits, each with different timing schedule.

Timer has 5 different modes.
Page 13 of manual shows modes.
Select different modes depending on what type of device(s) you are controlling with timer.
For example, 2-speed pool pump, you select MODE 2 or MODE 4
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/P1353ME-2-speed-motor-500.jpg

By selecting Mode 2 or 4, the timer protects against programming conflicts that would turn on both speeds at same time, and cause electrical problem.

1) Timer has 1 year limited warranty. Contact Intermatic:

2) Read troubleshoot overview for timer that worked previously

T21004R is Intermatic control center with T104M 240Volt mechanical timer mechanism.
http://www.poolandspacontrols.com/products/mechanical%20controls/60%20amp%20pool%20and%20spa%20control%20panels.aspx

Typically the T104M timer is not used to control a 2-speed pump, simply because the timer doesn't have NO NC terminals or programming capability.
Add a comment any time for more help.

Typically, if you are controlling a 2-speed pump, then a different mechanical timer is installed into the T21004R control center, OR the P1353 programmable timer is installed.

IF you are programming P1353, read instruction manual and get along as far as you can, then add a comment saying where you are stuck. Use MODE 2 for 2-speed motor applications.

Same answer applies as one sent earlier.
Take some time and read answer, or re-post question and pay for interactive answer with fixya expert who can walk you through the steps for a price.

1) You have P1353 timer.
This is a complicated timer for beginner because timer can be set up many different ways for multiple operations.

1) You want Mode 2 so low and high speeds are not turned ON at same time.
2) Wiring requirement: High speed is connected to terminal 3, low speed connected to terminal 2 as shown in fig 4-4 > this is where you can send a photo or add a comment and clarify how your timer is wired.

3) Page 30 goes through steps for setting the mode. Remember you want Mode 2.
4) Page 31 shows how to set current time of day.

5) Page 31-2 shows steps for programming each circuit.
Assuming that your wiring matches fig 4-4 mentioned above:
High speed is circuit 1
Low speed is circuit 2

Once you digest this information, it will narrow down the questions and I can answer those one at a time with more detail if needed.
Or you can re-post a question and I will probably catch it.

1) You might need a different timer.
240Volt T106 has one NO terminal and one NC terminal.
http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/files/intermatic/products/instructions/timers/t106r%20-%20english.ashx

2) Terminal 1 is NC terminal
NC terminal is 'normally closed' so electricity flows continually through this terminal.
For example you can connect this terminal to speed-1.
So speed-1 is on until timer turns on, and then electricity is turned off to NC terminal and speed-1 stops.

3) Terminal 4 is NO terminal
NO terminal is 'normally open' so electricity flows through this terminal only when timer turns on.
For example you can connect this terminal to speed-2.
So NO terminal only has power when timer turns on.
When timer turns off, NO terminal turns off and NC terminal turns on again.

4) As you can see, the problem with T106 timer is that pool motor is continually running.
Either speed-1 is on, or speed-2 is on.

5) Here's how to wire T106 for 240V two-speed pump:
Two hot wires arrive from breaker box: 1 black wire and 1 white wire.
White connects to terminal A
Black connects to terminal 3.
Three wires go to motor.
Speed-1 connects to terminal 1 probably black wire
Speed-2 connects to terminal 2 probably red wire
Remaining motor wire connects to terminal A probably white wire
Ground wires connect to green ground screw.

6) Usually, 2-speed pool pumps are wired to dual timer like T10404R
So each speed is wired to a separate timer.
With this timer, each speed is connected to separate timer, and then the pump can be turned off when neither speed is needed.
http://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-2-Speed-Timer-208-277-T10404R/dp/B002UBPCDW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_1

7) However there is a newer electronic timer P1353ME and P1353ME-6 and PE153 that can control 3 different loads. This timer snaps into any T106 box.
For example speed-1 is one load, speed-2 is another load, and a pool light can be third load, or simply do not use third load.

Manual for P1353:
Programming instructions for P1353 start page 30
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Intermatic-P1353-manual.pdf

The on-off button is merely an override of existing program, and then programming resumes at next event setting.
I have read this manual looking for a simple way to turn off timer functions so no pool equipment operates, and it appears that you have to turn off circuit breaker.

This is the same as any mechanical timer such as T104 or T101, and is not brand-specific as all mechanical box timers follow same pattern. Mechanical timers have override button, but the timer reverts to regular schedule at next tripper, just as the P1353 does.

Keep in mind that each load on timer can be wired separate from the timer clock. So you can turn off the load wire going to each load, and still have power to clock.
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/P1353-terminals-566.jpg
If you cut power to each load, then it is not necessary to reset current time. Programs remain inside timer even if power is completely cut to timer.

P1353 manual with wiring and programming appear on following link:

1) To clear all programming, press MODE button located above PROG button. Use paper click and hold in MODE button for 5 seconds until display shows SET MODE and the Mode Number blinks.(page 30).

2) Use ENTER button to to review events for each circuit. At this point, you can reprogram timer.
Use PROGRAM button to advance to next circuit and go to next programming feature. (page 31)

3) Don't forget, when reprogramming timer, and you want each circuit to operate independently, then select MODE 1 (page 33).

4) P1353 timer can control 3 different circuits. And programming for each circuit can be independent, or linked by selecting different MODE (page 33).
Linking programs let you control 2-speed motor for example, with each speed controlled by separate circuit.

5) You can set up to 3 programs for each circuit.
