• Use 14 AWG minimum to 6 AWG maximum 140°/158° F (60°/70° C) or better copper conductors for
relay circuits depending on the load requirement. Be sure to follow all NEC regulation safety codes
for the number and size of conductors that can be installed in various sizes of conduit.
• Supply conductor must be sized to support all loads. The maximum supply current must NOT
exceed 150 AMP at 120 VAC/240 VAC.
• Supply circuit must be protected by suitable breaker rated no higher than 150 AMP. If one relay is
used for more than one device, verify that the total current draw (all equipment) does not exceed the
current rating of the circuit.
• The IntelliCenter Control System automation control circuit board requires 120 VAC, 3A power to
®
operate the control logic circuits and the optional IntelliChlor
Salt Chlorine generator. This power
should be connected to one of the circuit breakers in the sub panel.
• To avoid obstruction into the Load Center or Power Center, when using electrical conduit complete
the installation of the conduit before concrete is poured. Also, underground conduit should be
positioned in well compacted soil. Ensure that all conduit joints are well sealed and watertight.

GROUND BUS BAR (see page 3 and 5). Also ground each piece of high voltage (120 VAC or 240VAC)
equipment that is connected to the Load Center or Power Center relays or circuit breakers. Also connect
the Load Center and Power Center to the pool bonding system using 8 AWG (6 AWG for Canada)
conductor. There are two (2) GROUND LUGS provides on the bottom of the Load Center and Power
Center.
Circuit Breakers (Load Center with sub panel)
Circuit Breakers are to be supplied and installed by the site installer. For recommended circuit breaker
types, refer to the circuit breaker chart on the inside front door of the Load Center or Power Center. Be sure
to follow all manufacturer’s circuit breaker rating requirements. Some pool equipment require connection to
ground fault circuit breakers (GFCI). Check local and NEC (CEC) codes for these requirements.
Note: For recommended field conductor gauge usage, refer to conductor size listed on the circuit
breaker label.
Note: Wiring to Load Center: 14 AWG minimum copper conductors for relays and other equipment sized according to the ampacity of the load.

Installing V alve Actuators
The IntelliCenter® Control System can control multiple valve actuators. Two of the valve outputs
are dedicated to the pool/spa intake (INTAKE) and return (RETURN) valves. Valve A or Valve B
actuators are for general purpose use (solar, water-feature, in-floor cleaner, etc.). For IntelliCenter
Control System shared equipment systems there are two motorized valve actuators (CVA-24T, P/N
263045) provided in the kit.
To install the valve actuator (two-way valve example shown):
1. Remove the valve knob, handle and the four screws, from the valve cover (indicated with arrows).
2. Align the splines of the actuator shaft over the shaft of the valve.
3. If the actuator is not aligned with the mounting holes on the valve cover, rotate the actuator (while
still attached to the valve) until the actuator is positioned correctly over the valve.
4. Secure the actuator with the screws provided. Only use self-tapping screws when required.
5. Mount the valve handle and knob onto the actuator.

valve to the correct position. The following
diagram shows the standard plumbing and
valve actuator position.
Screw
Screw
Screw
Valve Handle Operation: To reposition the valve handle: Rotate the handle to the desired “OFF” position.
The diverter valve handle OFF indicator, represents the current position of the valve’s internal diverter seal
which will stop the flow of water. The valve handle stop-pins determine the position of the diverter valve’s
internal seal to stop or allow water flow. Note: When a motorized valve actuator is installed, stop-pins are not
required.
Handle Stop-Pins Positions: The two movable stop-pins can be set to allow the valve handle’s position
to completely stop the flow of water, regulate a limited flow, or allow the maximum flow. To set the stoppins: Insert the stop-pins in the pin holes according to the corresponding “degree indicator” displayed
on top of the handle. The stop-pin positions can be set to 180°, L90° (left-side) and R90° (right side).
Repositioning of either stop-pins allows the handle to be set to any desired percentage of water flow.

• Be sure the maximum flow of water through the solar panels, a solar booster pump should be added
if panels are installed at a very high elevation.
• It is recommended that the solar panels are mounted in a way that gravity will allow draining
whenever the filter pump is not on.
• For systems with glazed panels, damage can occur from overheating if the filter pump is still running
after the solar has turned off. To enable glazed panels to automatically drain whenever the solar
turns off (even if the filter pump is still running), a 1/2” motorized solar drain valve should be plumbed
from the solar feed line, through a check valve, to a zero psi point (such as pool fill line or jet air
intake).
Solar Temperature Sensor Installation (as shown on page 26)
Run a two-conductor cable between the sensor and the IntelliCenter® Control System circuit board

To install the solar sensor:
27
CAUTION! DO NOT DRILL HOLE AND CLAMP SENSOR INTO SOLAR PIPE.
1 Mount the sensor on a flat surface, with the same exposure to sun as the solar collectors (next to
the collectors is recommended) or any sunny location. Do not let the sensor touch the panels. For
glazed panels, install the sensor between collector and glazing.
2 If necessary, splice a two-conductor extension conductor to the sensor. Run two-conductor cable
between the sensor and the enclosure. Use waterproof connectors to connect the sensor to the
cable. Use twisted pair 20 AWG outdoor rated sensor wiring and be sure the conductor connections
are protected from the environment. Use shielded cable for long runs or runs near other electrical
wiring.
3. Cut off the excess conductor and the strip back conductors ¼ inch.
4. Insert the conductors into the SOLAR SENSOR screw terminals (J15) on IntelliCenter Control
System circuit board. For sensor circuit board screw terminal location see page 26.
The IntelliCenter® Control System use 10k Ohm thermistor sensors. When the solar sensor is
disconnected from the control system, the sensor will read 10k Ohm at 77º F (25ºC). Refer to
the following table for the resistance at other temperatures. An accurate reading should give a
temperature setting that is accurate to ±0.2º C from 0 to 70 º C.

IntelliCenter® Control System Test
The following describes how to test the IntelliCenter Control System Outdoor Control Panel to
activate the heater, valves and pumps. This test assumes that all system equipment has been
properly installed and connected to the IntelliCenter Control System Load Center.
Testing Valve Actuators and Pumps
Use the following steps to test the valve actuators (CVA24T) for proper rotation for i5PS IntelliCenter
Control System (shared equipment).
To test the valve actuators and pump:
1. Switch on the main circuit breakers to apply power to the IntelliCenter Control System Load Center.
2. Pool and Spa Pump and Heater Test: From the Home screen, tap Pool > Pool (or tap Spa > Spa) to activate the pool pump (or Spa pump) and heater. Tap the Heat Mode button and select
a different heat source. The Heat Mode button indicator is Red to indicate the heater is on, Blue is
heater cool down mode. When the heater is on a flame indicator is shown on the Home screen pool
Green badge. Tap Return to return the Home screen.
Heat Mode button indicator:

Spa Manual Heat ON/OFF Feature: Spa Manual Heat ON/OFF Feature: If the Heat Enabled
(Default ON)feature is selected (see Spa Body Configuration >Spa Settings) when the Spa pump
button (or from the Spa-Side remote, or Wireless Controller) is manually turned on, the pump will
turn on and the heater will begin to heat the spa (even if the heater is set to OFF). This feature
allows you to program the pool pump to filter daily with the heater set to off, and then be ready to
heat whenever the Spa button is pressed.
Pool Badge Icons: A Flame icon is displayed with the current
heat set point temperature. The Spa badge icon indicates that the
heat source has been called for.

3. Testing equipment auxiliary circuits: From the Home screen, tap Settings > Service Mode >
Service. Note: Service Mode is displayed on the Home screen.
4. Tap Manual Circuit Control. To test the equipment, tap the displayed circuits (pump, aux, solar,
heater) to confirm proper operation. When the pool circulation pump is on water will flow from the
pool and returned into the pool. The Green radio button is lit when equipment is manually switched
on. Grey indicates the circuit is off.
5. After testing the auxiliary circuits, tap the Return arrow to return to the Service Mode screen. Tap
Auto to return the system to operating mode. Tap and hold the Return arrow to return to the Home
screen.
6. Manual Test V alve Actuators: Set both valve actuators (CVA-24T) for suction and return. Use the
toggle switch on the rear of the CVA-24 to withdraw and return water from the pool.
Note: With the circulation pump operating, if the water is not being removed and returned to the
pool, it may be necessary to toggle the valve ON1 and ON2 switch (or vice versa).
Solar Valve T est
1. Switch on the main circuit breakers to apply power to the IntelliCenter® Control System load center.
2. Check that Solar Valve is in solar bypass position, diverting water away from solar panels. If Solar
Valve is staged incorrectly (diverting water to the solar panels), reverse switch on back of Valve
Actuator (change from ON1 to ON2, or vice-versa). The Valve Actuator will automatically rotate to
the correct position.
3. Check that Solar Valve has rotated from the “solar bypass” position to the “solar” position, diverting
water through the solar panels.
4. The system is now ready to be operated as desired.
HEATER CONNECTIONS: Note: iS5PS/i10D: Pool/Spa Heater Connections - It does not matter which body of water is connected to each heater
connector. The heater on the main i5P board is for body 1 (pool or spa), and the heater on the i10D board is for body 2 (pool or spa).

Check ORP ContainerNote: IntelliChem has indicated that your ORP chemical tank is
running low. It may be time to refill it.
Check pH ContainerNote: IntelliChem has indicated that your pH chemical tank is running
low. It may be time to refill it.
Communication LostNote: IntelliChem has lost communication with the outdoor control
panel. Please check that the filter pump relay is active and that the
communication cable is wired properly.
Invalid SettingsInvalid Settings
ORP Feed LimitNote: IntelliChem has several safe guards built into it to prevent too
much chlorine from being dispensed into your pool. One of them is a
daily maximum feed limit (usually in ounces). If IntelliChem reaches
this limit, it will stop allowing chlorine from being dispensed. You may
need to increase IntelliChem’s daily ORP feed limit to prevent this
alarm.
Peripheral Com ErrorPeripheral Com Error
pH Feed LimitNote: IntelliChem has several safe guards built into it to prevent too
much muriatic acid from being dispensed into your pool. One of
them is a daily maximum feed limit (usually in ounces). If IntelliChem
reaches this limit, it will stop allowing muriatic acid or CO2 from being
dispensed. You may need to increase IntelliChem’s daily pH feed limit
to prevent this alarm.
pH LockoutNote: This means that IntelliChem is not able to keep your pH level at
a low enough level (usually below 7.8) to not have a suppressive effect
on your ORP level. To prevent IntelliChem from adding too much
chlorine to your pool, IntelliChem has stopped adding chlorine until
your pH level is decreased. This usually happens when your pH tank
has run out of muriatic acid or your CO2 tank is empty.
pH LowNote: IntelliChem pH reading is below 7.2 (typical good range is 7.2 to 7.6).
It’s rare for pools to stay below the 7.2 pH level. You may need to add a pH up
chemical to your pool if the level doesn’t rise over time. Please consult your pool
professional for a recommended action.
No FlowNote: The IntelliChem flow switch has indicated there is no flow to the flow cell
where the pH and ORP probes are located. This can be caused by a dirty/
clogged pool filter or IntelliChem prefilter or too slow of a pump speed.
ORP HighNote: IntelliChem ORP reading is above 750. If your pool consistently measures
above 750 ORP and a manual chlorine reading is above 3ppm, you should
decrease your ORP set point to get your chlorine PPM into the desired 1-3 ppm
range.
ORP LowNote: IntelliChem will alert when the ORP level is below 650. If your pool
consistently measures below 650 and a chlorine PPM reading is below 1 ppm,
you may consider increasing your ORP set point to get your chlorine PPM into
the recommended 1-3 ppm range. Also note that ORP probes take at least an
hour before the reading stabilizes. It is perfectly normal to start the day at a very
low 400-600 ORP reading. Similarly, the probe will read on the high side in the
late afternoon and evening hours after the sun stops hitting the pool.
pH HighNote: IntelliChem will alert when the pH is above the 7.6 pH level (typical good
range is 7.2 to 7.6). This could be temporary as IntelliChem signals your muriatic
acid or CO2 feeder to add more to your pool to lower the pH level. If the pH
level doesn’t lower, this usually means that your acid or CO2 tank may be empty.
Otherwise, you may need to increase IntelliChem’s dose amount, lower the
mixing time, or change the sensitivity to High.
IntelliCenter Control System Installation GuideIntelliCenter Control System Installation Guide
Clean & Inspect CellNote: IntelliChlor has indicated that it senses buildup on its chlorine
generating cell blades which is hampering its ability to make chlorine. This
is a normal occurrence that happens over time. This calcium buildup can
be eliminated by turning off your filter pump, removing your salt cell from
the plumbing, and spraying a garden hose on the jet setting to remove the
excess calcium buildup inside the cell. You can also do an acid wash per
the instructions in the IntelliChlor manual.
Cold Water CutoffNote: IntelliChlor won’t produced chlorine in water temperatures below 52F
degrees. When the water is this cold, you should manually add chlorine to
your pool, if needed.
Communication LostNote: This usually indicates that the 4-wire communication cable between
IntelliChlor and IntelliChem has been disrupted in some manner. Please
check this wiring.
Very Low SaltNote: IntelliChlor’s salt level reading is below 2650. IntelliChlor’s optimum
salt level is 3,450 ppm, so salt needs to be added to your pool to raise the
PPM to the IntelliChlor target. One 40 lb bag of salt will raise your salt ppm
by approximately 500 in a 10,000 gallon pool and by 200 in a 25,000 gallon
pool. Tip: Salt and stabilizer only decrease from splash out or dilution. So
if your salt level is low, your stabilizer level is probably low also

Low SaltNote: IntelliChlor’s salt level reading is below 2850. IntelliChlor’s optimum
salt level is 3,450 ppm, so salt needs to be added to your pool to raise the
PPM to the IntelliChlor target. One 40 lb bag of salt will raise your salt ppm
by approximately 500 in a 10,000 gallon pool and by 200 in a 25,000 gallon

if your salt level is low, your stabilizer level is probably low also.
Communication LostNote: This indicates that IntelliCenter is not able to communicate with
IntelliFlo via the 50 foot pump communication cable. Please check the
pump cable’s green and yellow wires are inserted correctly in one of the
IntelliCenter COM ports. Also make sure the cable is securely attached
into the side of the IntelliFlo pump.
Drive Over T emper atureNote: The IntelliFlo pump has sensed that it is getting too hot. Please
make sure that the back of the pump is clear of debris and dirt. In very
hot climates like Arizona, it may help to shield the pump from direct
sunlight.
Over CurrentNote: IntelliFlo has sensed that it is receiving too much current. It is
recommended that you contact your pool professional and/or electrician.
Over V oltageNote: IntelliFlo has sensed that it is receiving too much voltage. It is
recommended that you contact your pool professional and/or electrician.
Power OutageNote: IntelliFlo has sensed that a power outage occurred.
Priming AlarmNote: The IntelliFlo pump is having trouble priming. Ensure that the water
level of the pool is high enough to fill the skimmer basket. Also check to
make sure your skimmer baskets and pump basket are not clogged with
leaves or debris. Make sure to bleed air out of the top of your filter as the
pump is priming or when running. Always exercise caution when your are
working in close proximity to working pool pumps and filters that are under
pressure.

Plumbing Requirements
It is important that the pool and spa plumbing system be in accordance with local codes and the
Recommended Hydraulic Schematics (page 55 and 56). Before starting, please review the diagrams
and the following recommended guidelines:
The spa should be at or above the level of the pool.
If the spa is attached to the pool, provide a dam between the two bodies of water to allow the
spa to overflow into the pool. If the spa is not attached to the pool, an overflow, sufficient in size
to carry a full pump-flow, must be installed at the water level in the spa.
Plumb a three-port Intake Valve on the suction-side of the filter pump, so that the center port of
the valve is connected to the pump inlet. Connect the spa suction to one side of the Intake Valve,
and the pool suction to the other side.
Plumb a three-port Return Valve on the return-side of the heater, so that the return water will
enter the valve through the center port.
Connect the spa return to one side of Return Valve, and the pool return to the other side.
If required, install a spa makeup line (consisting of a manual gate or ball valve, for elevated spas
install a check valve) to bypass the pool return line. This will enable some of the chemicallybalanced water from the pool to cycle through the spa. The manual valve will allow the amount
of bypass to be adjusted.
If the spa is to be constructed in concrete, special provision should be made at this time for the
installation of the Spa-Side remote control.
Select a convenient location in the deck or above water level in the spa wall (where the
Spa-Side remote will not be submerged by the spa water), and install a 6 in to 12 in length of
one inch PVC pipe to provide a receptacle for the Spa-Side remote. The pipe should be level
and protrude beyond the finished surface of the spa. It will be cut back later at installation time.
Reduce the pipe size down to ½ in or ¾ in conduit, and run it to the proposed Load/Power
Center location at the equipment pad. Use sweep elbows for turns.
The Spa-Side remote will not be installed until the spa construction is completed.
For systems which incorporate a skimmer, it is possible to balance the amount of suction
between the skimmer and main drain for maintenance purposes. This is easily accomplished by
installing a manual three-port mixing valve at the suction line. Plumb one port to the skimmer
and the other to the main drain.
If a “non-booster pump” pressure-side pool cleaner is being used, plumb a manual three-port
valve between the filter pump and filter, with the third port plumbed to the pool cleaner line,
and install a motorized two-port Pool Cleaner V alve at this line. The motorized valve will
automatically open whenever the Control System activates the pool cleaner.
If a booster pump pool cleaner is being used, plumb the booster pump so that its suction-side is
connected to the pool return, after the heater, and as close to the ground as practical.

at the feed line. Use a solar valve (model SOL-2T), to allow automatic draining of the panels.
A solar booster pump should be used when the distance to the panels exceed 200 ft., or the
panels are elevated higher than 25 ft.
Glazed solar panels require a drain valve (model HW-5B) to allow draining of the panels. This
prevents damage from overheating water. Install a drain valve at the solar feed line and connect
to the pool fill line.
