Delay Cancel Menu

Use the Delay Cancel feature for service or testing purposes. For convenience, on a one-time basis, the Delay Cancel feature will cancel the following safety delays. Please note, generally there is no need to cancel any of the following delays except for servicing or testing the system.

• Heater Cool-Down Delay Cancel: Shuts Filter Pump off immediately.

• 2-Speed Filter Pump five-minute START on HIGH SPEED Delay Cancel: Shifts pump to low

speed.

• Automatic Pool Cleaner START Delay: Starts Cleaner Pump immediately, without normal delay in

which the filter pump first runs for 5 minutes.

• Automatic Pool Cleaner SOLAR Delay: Allows Cleaner Pump to run even though solar delay has

shut it off for 5 minutes.

Some heaters require a cool-down cycle before being switched off. This can be setup in the menu to run the filter pump an additional ten minutes to dissipate residual heat built up inside the heater combustion chamber. The Delay Cancel feature is mainly for use by service technicians when it’s necessary to shut the filter pump off immediately, and know the heater has not been running. Heaters manufactured by Pentair do not require this cool-down period and do not need the delay to be set up.

Note: For Information about assigning delays to the pool and spa valves, refer to “Settings Menu: Delays” on page 35.

Schedules Menu (Continued)

Program your Spa or Pool

You can use the “Schedule” feature to set the time and day(s) when to switch the filter pump on and rotate the pool or spa valves into the “Spa” or “Pool” position. The heater will automatically heat the spa or pool water up to the set point temperature as set in the “Heat” menu (see page 20). If the pool has a separate jet pump or blower controlled by AUX 1 and/or AUX 2 , these need to be scheduled separately.

Schedules

You can create schedules to automatically run equipment like pool filtration or lights. Any circuit can be set to switch on and off on every or any specific day of the week. When a relay is switched on manually, it remains on until you either switch it off manually, or the next time the relay is scheduled to be switched off. For example, if the filter pump is scheduled to automatically run from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM daily then the filter pump is switched on manually at 9:00 PM, it will run continuously for 12 hours until the next day at 6:00 PM then switch off. The programmed schedule will then continue from then on. Default run time for the “Schedule” feature is 12 hours. If you program the start and stop times the same the schedule will run for 24 hours if scheduled to run for one day. A pool or spa program can be overridden using the Filter (F) button and pool/spa Valves (V) button on the outdoor control panel in the EasyTouch load center. The system must be in “Service” manual mode to operate these buttons.

Note: The following example describes how to use the “Schedule” feature to program the spa circuit to switch the filter pump on and rotate the valves into the “Spa” position and switch the heater on. This example can also be used to program when to filter and heat your pool, and switch light or auxiliary circuits on or off.

Using the Once Only feature

The “Once Only” feature allows you to program a circuit to switch on at a particular time and day on a one-time basis. A typical use for this feature is to have the spa and heater switch on before you get home from work for one evening. Unlike the regular “Schedule” timer, this feature does not repeat. After this event has finished, the program is automatically erased. The circuit must be switched off manually or wait for the 12 hour automatic shut off. If you wish to override the 12 hour default shut-off time you can extend the time by using the “Egg Timer” count-down feature (page 25).

Note: The following example describes how use the “Once Only” feature to program the spa circuit to switch the filter pump on and rotate the valves into the “Spa” position and switch the heater on for one time only. This example can also be used if you wanted to program when to filter and heat your pool, and switch light or auxiliary circuits on.

Using the Egg Timer (count-down) Feature

The “Egg Timer” feature allows you switch off a circuit automatically after a specified time. The time period can be anywhere from one minute to 24 hours or run continuously. The “Egg Timer” (count-down) feature is useful for switching off lighting and spa therapy jets. For example, a jet pump can be set to switch off in 15 minutes, even when switched on by the iS4 Spa-Side remote control or whenever you switch your spa on, you would like it to automatically switch it off in two hours. All Egg Timer programs are factory set to switch off after 12 hours. You also have the option to use the “Don’t Stop” feature to run a circuit continuously until manually switched off.

Please note that in the event of a power failure, the “Egg Timer” feature will not switch the circuit back on. Use the “Service” mode to turn the equipment back on. For running the filter pump continuously during new pool start up, it is recommended to use the “Service” mode, which will automatically restart the filter pump in the event of a power failure.

The following example describes how to program the “Egg Timer” for the spa. The same applies when selecting the pool or any auxiliary circuit.
