Controls and buttons (Continued)
AUX buttons/LEDs: The auxiliary output circuit buttons operate the pool and spa system valves, lights and other equipment. These auxiliary (AUX) circuits are assigned in the “Circuit Type” menu, see page 27 for details. There are three auxiliary circuits (AUX 1- 3) on the EasyTouch 4 indoor control panel and seven auxiliary circuits (AUX 1- 7) on the EasyTouch 8 indoor control panel. The Down arrow button can also be used as an “extra” auxiliary circuit if solar equipment is not being used. Refer to “Down arrow button” on page 4 for more information. Labels can be affixed next to 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 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 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 5:00 PM then switch off. The schedule will then continue from then on.
EasyTouch Indoor Control Panel Display
The Indoor Control Panel screen displays when the system is in automatic mode (AUTO) or in service mode (SERVICE). Service mode is enabled from EasyTouch outdoor control panel at the pool equipment pad. The following describes the main status screen.
AUTO (Automatic): The system is in normal operating mode.
Scheduled programs will run automatically.
HEATER: Displays the heat source (Off, Heater, Solar Prf.,
Solar) as specified in the Heater menu settings (see page 16).

For more about assigning circuits to the QT4 buttons, refer to “Settings Menu: QuickTouch (QT4) Wireless Remote,” on page 33. Note: The QT4 wireless controller may be used with wet hands, but should never be submersed in water as this could damage the QT4. If accidental submersion occurs, dry the QT4 out by removing battery cover and removing battery. Position the QT4 so that water can drain out. Reassemble when the QT4 is completelydry.
iS4 Spa-Side Remote Controller (Optional)
The iS4 Spa-Side remote controller is a double-insulated, waterproof device that is UL (1563) listed for installation at the water’s edge. Pentair recommends that the iS4 always be installed above the water line of the spa wall, or in the deck within arm’s reach of a spa occupant. The iS4 provides remote switching of up to four control circuits from the spa location. It is typically used for activating spa circulation and any three auxiliary pieces of equipment (such as lights, jet pump, air blower, etc.). The red status LED indicator glows steady when in Spa mode and flashes while the spa is heating. For more about assigning circuits to the iS4 buttons, refer to “Settings Menu: iS4 Spa-Side Remote controller,” on page 32. The iS4 two installation choices are shown:

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 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.
The following example describes how to set a “Once Only “ program for the spa. The same steps apply when selecting the pool or any auxiliary circuit.

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.

•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)
