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 one-time 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.

Setting up EasyTouch

Setting up the System for the First Time

Use the following steps if you are setting up the EasyTouch system for the first time.

Note: The following setup steps assume that the EasyTouch Load Center is installed at the equipment pad and ready for operation. For EasyTouch Load Center installation instructions, refer to the EasyTouch 8 and 4 Load Center Installation Guide (P/N 520583).

The recommended first time installation steps for the EasyTouch system are:

1. Set the system date and time (page 22)

Set the current date and time.

2. Assign circuit names (pages 25)

Assign the generic default circuit names for output auxiliary equipment. Rename (if necessary) and assign circuit names to the auxiliary (AUX 1, AUX 2) connections. Note the factory set auxiliary names correspond to the plug-in location of the relay on the EasyTouch motherboard. Assign circuit names from the available of circuit names. There are nearly 100 circuit names available (see page 26 for the complete list).

3. Creating custom names for auxiliary circuits (page 29)

If you cannot find a circuit name that fits your application you can create up to 10 additional customized names that can be created before assigning circuit names.

4. Assign a circuit type to a circuit name (Page 27)

Assign “Circuit Types” (functions) to circuits. From the Circuit Type menu, you can assign special logic to a circuit by selecting one of the available circuit types. For the complete list of Circuit Types. If an auxiliary circuit (AUX) is assigned GENERIC (simple ON/OFF when the button is pushed) then nothing needs to be done.

5. Configure valve actuators (controlled by AUX circuit) (page 29)

The EasyTouch system can drive two auxiliary valve actuators for applications such as solar heating and water features. Assign which circuits that will activate valves A and B. Auxiliary valve actuators can be controlled by any AUX circuit. Valve A is automatically assigned to solar if “Solar” is enabled in the “Solar” menu.

EasyTouch Indoor Control Panel Installation and User’s Guide

6. Set up optional equipment, solar, 2-speed pump (page 29 and 30)

Set up additional equipment such as solar, 2-speed pump, and optional equipment if required. Set up the control panel to operate with the optional IntelliChlor chlorine generator. To configure EasyTouch for special equipment:

• Is solar heating available? Is solar being used for a heat pump?

• What circuits will turn 2-Speed pumps to High Speed?

• Cool-down cycle for the heater - Lets you set circuits that switch the filter pump to high speed.

• Do you want to delay turning off the filter pump for 10 minutes when the heater is turned off?

• Do you want the spa to heat whenever the Spa button is pressed?

7. Configuring the heater system options (page 16)

Set the type of heat source being used (Heater, Solar, Solar Preferred).

8. Configure the iS4 spa-side remote, QuickTouch wireless remote buttons (page 32 and 33)

Assign four circuits to the iS4 and/or QuickTouch remote buttons. Once you have checked that all buttons operate properly, place labels on remote buttons.

9. Set the delays feature (page 31)

Enable the one time “delay” feature for the heater, 2-speed pump, and automatic pool cleaner.

10. Schedule on/off times for circuit (page 18 - 21)

Set times for automatic circuit activation. Up to 12 total programs can be created for all circuits combined. One circuit can have up to a maximum of 9 programs (9/9), which leaves 3 programs that can be used by one circuit or three separate circuits for a total of 12 programs. All user created programs are active all the time; so check that there are not conflicting automated times.

11. Setup the lighting settings (page 15)

From the lighting menu you can enable special control of your pool and yard lighting, such as rotating colored lights, and synchronized colored lights.
