EasyTouch System Overview

EasyTouch Pool and Spa Control System Overview

Welcome to the EasyTouch Pool and Spa Control system − The next generation in automatic control systems. The EasyT ouch 8 or EasyTouch 4 system allows you to automatically control all of your spa and pool daily operations. Pool and spa service operations can be manually controlled from the EasyT ouch outdoor control panel located at the pool equipment pad. Also available is the optional Indoor Control Panel and wireless control panel which allows automatic control of pool and spa operations from inside you home or outside around your pool area.

The EasyT ouch 8 or EasyTouch 4 system can control high voltage (120 VAC / 240 VAC) equipment, automatic valve actuators, pumps, lighting, a conventional heater or a solar heating system and the optional IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator.

Operating EasyTouch

The EasyT ouch system is designed to automatically control your pool and spa equipment, lights and other optional equipment. However, you can also manually control all EasyTouch system operations from the outdoor control panel. Using the “Mode” button, the system can be switched from “Auto” mode (normal operating mode) to “Service” mode for manual operation and service purposes. Using the outdoor control panel buttons you can manually override any automatic settings.

IntelliChlor™ Electronic Chlorine Generator

The optional IntelliChlor salt chlorination system allows the EasyT ouch system to automatically control water sanitization by using a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool and spa water. The IntelliChlor is enabled from the “IntelliChlor” Settings menu (see page 26). IntelliChlor automatically converts the salt into free chlorine which eliminate bacteria and algae in the pool and spa water. The chlorine will then revert back to sodium chloride after killing the bacteria. The outcome of this continuous cycle, practically eliminates the need to use sanitizing chemicals in the pool/spa water. When the pool and spa water is replenished due to backwashing or draining, more salt may need to be added to the pool/spa water.

IntelliChlor model IC20 (P/N 520554/520556) is designed for swimming pools up to 20,000 U.S. gallons (75,000 liters). Model IC40 (P/N 520555/520556) is designed for swimming pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (151,000 liters). The pool chlorination amounts may vary depending on number of pool occupants, temperature, environment conditions, rainfall and other elements that might affect the pool water .

➇

➈

Valves (V) - (Pool/Spa/Fill (Spillway)/Drain) button: When in normal operating mode, the

Valves (V) button is in “Pool” mode. In this mode the valves are automatically rotated so that only the pool water is circulated through the system and the filter pump is activated. Pressing this button once enables “Spa” mode and activates the filter pump to circulate only spa water through the system. “Fill/Spillway” and “Drain” mode can only be used while in “Service” mode (See Mode button for details). “Fill/Spillway” and “Drain” mode are used when cleaning the spa. Pressing the Valves (V) button again returns the system to “Pool” mode. Note that the filter pump will switch off while the pool/spa valves are rotating into position. The current operating mode is shown in the LCD display. Note: The Valves button (Pool, Spa, Fill (Spillway),

Drain) button has no function in “Pool only” or “Spa only” systems. For an EasyTouch single body system, “Pool” and “Spa” modes are Lo- Temp (Pool) and Hi-Temp (Spa) temperature controls. For more information, see “Hi-Temp/Lo-Temp Controls for Single Body Systems,” on page 27.

Aux 1 - 7 buttons/LEDs: Auxiliary output circuit buttons operate the pool and spa system valves,

lights and other equipment. These auxiliary circuits are assigned in the “Circuit Type” menu, see page 28 for details. There are three auxiliary circuits (AUX 1- 3) on the EasyTouch 4 outdoor control panel and seven auxiliary circuits (AUX 1- 7) on EasyT ouch 8 outdoor control panel. The Solar button can also be used for an “extra” auxiliary circuit if the Solar circuit is not being for solar equipment. Labels can be affixed next to each auxiliary button to identify the circuit function. Labels can be affixed over each auxiliary button to identify the circuit function. When an auxiliary circuit is activated or the button is pressed, the LED is on. Pressing an auxiliary circuit button will activate the corresponding circuit in either “Auto” or “Service” mode. When a circuit relay is switched on manually, it remains on until either you switch it of f 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 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily then the filter pump is switched on manually at 9:00 PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 6:00 PM then switch off. The schedule will then continue from then on.

➉

Heater (Flame) button/LED: This button is only used in “Service” mode for manual heat on and off

control. The Heater LED will be on if “Heater” is enabled in the “Heat” menu setting (see page 18). Switching the heater on automatically controls the output between a “forced off” state and a normal automatic thermostatic control operating state. The heater will continue heating the water until the heater’s current highest set point temperature triggers the heater sensor (approximately 106° F). Note that the Heater button does not activate the pump. Do not activate the heater without running the pump. The heater will not run if water flow is not detected.

Solar (Sun) button/LED and (Aux Extra): In solar mode this button is only used in “Service” mode

for manual solar heat on and off control. The Solar LED will be on if “Solar” is enabled in the “Heat” menu setting (see page 18). Solar must also be enabled in the “Solar” menu. Use the Solar button to manually switch the heater control output between a “forced off” state and a normal automatic thermostatic control operating state. When this button is pressed the solar relay is switched on to activate a booster pump if installed and activates valves to rotate to divert water through solar heating panels. If solar equipment is not being used, this button can also be used to switch the AUX EXTRA circuit on and off.

Reset button: Press this button to reinitialize the EasyT ouch outdoor control panel.

IntelliChlor status LED and circuit breaker (SCG system only): When the LED is on, it indicates

that the IntelliChlor cell is powered on. The circuit breaker opens in case the circuit is shorted or overloaded. Press to reset power to the IntelliChlor.

Low voltage circuit breakers: Three amp circuit breakers protect the low voltage system

motherboard circuits, relays and valves.

Quick Start Spa and Pool Operations

The following describes how to run some of the general day-to-day spa and pool operations.

Heat your spa or pool

AUTO HEATER SPA 95°F / 100°F AIR 70°F MON 09:30 AM

First enable the heat source (see “Adjust your spa heat settings” below) then press the Valves (V) button to enable “Spa” mode, and press the Filter Pump button to activate the filter pump. When in normal operating mode, the Valves (V) button is in “Pool” mode which turns valves and activates the filter pump automatically so that only the pool water is circulated through the system. Press the button to enable “Spa” mode and activate the Filter pump to circulate only spa water through the system. In the main screen shown on left, 95°F is the current temperature and 100° F is set point temperature. By default, the setting “Man Heat’ is set to “On” (see page 36) which allows the spa to begin to heat whenever it is manually switched on.

From the Indoor or wireless control panel (option): First enable the heat source in the Heat menu (see “Heat Menu,” on page 18). Press the Spa button (top button) to switch the filter pump on, rotate the valve actuator (to isolate spa water from pool water), and switch the heater on. Press the Pool button to switch the filter pump on, rotate the valve actuator (to isolate pool water from spa water), and switch the heater on. For Pool and Spa button location, see page 7.

Adjust your spa or pool heat settings

From the “Heat” menu (Menu > Heat > Spa Temp/Src/Pool Temp/Src) you can select the heat source and set the water temperature. The spa or pool water will heat to the settings specified. The EasyTouch system allows for solar and conventional heaters. The EasyTouch will use the heating source that is selected. The heat source selections are:

OFF - No heating even though pump and other circuits may be operating.

•

• HEATER - Gas heater only.

• SOLAR ONLY - Solar heating system to be the only heat source. In order to display “Solar Only” as a

heat option in the “Heat” menu, you must first enable solar in the Settings > Solar menu, (see page 32).

• SOLAR PREF. (Solar Preferred) - Used if solar and gas heating are combined and you want to use

solar heating only when it is most effective. In order to display “Solar Preferred” as a heat option in the “Heat” menu, you must first enable solar in the Settings > Solar menu (see page 32).

Using the Once Only timer feature

The Schedules “Once Only” timer feature enables you to automatically switch equipment on for one time. This feature allows you to program a circuit to turn on at a particular time on a onetime basis. For example, if you wanted the spa to be heated when you arrive home, you could program the heater to switch on at a specific time and after you have finished using the spa you can switch the heater off manually. After the program has run, it is automatically erased. Unlike using the regular “Schedule” program, the “Once Only” program does not repeat. The circuit must be turned off manually or wait for the 12 hour automatic shut-off. However, you could also reset the 12 hour factory shut-off by entering an “Egg Timer” count down program to extend past the default 12 hours shut-off.

Up/Down button: Select: All off, All on, or Sync. The Sync feature allows a combination of up to 12 SAm, SAL, or FIBERworks lights to synchronize their colors before switching the lights on.
