iS10 spa-side remote controller overview

T

5"

The iS10 spa-side remote is a double-insulated device UL and ETL listed to UL 1563 for use with the IntelliTouch pool and
spa control system, and the Compool CP series systems. The iS10 spa-side remote provides control of ten functions from
the spa location. The spa temperature can also be adjusted from the remote. Up to four iS10 remotes may be installed using
the IntelliTouch model i7+3, i9+3, i9+3S and i10+3D. The i5 and i5S IntelliTouch system, and the compool CP3 series
systems can support one iS10 remote. It is possible to use two iS10’s on an i5, i5S and CP3 system, however, the two iS10
remotes will mirror each other in functionality.

Operating the iS10 remote controller

The iS10 remote controller can control up to ten system functions, depending on the system being used. Each circuit
function can be labeled above or below the buttons to identify the button function. Pressing the “peanut-shaped” middle
button toggles between which row of circuit functions to activate when one of the five in-line buttons are pressed. An LED
indicator light above and below the toggle button indicates which row (top or bottom) is active. When one of the in-line
buttons is pressed, the adjacent LED indicator will be on indicating that the circuit has been activated. The default circuits
activated by each button are shown below. To change the default circuit function settings or configure different settings for
multiple iS10 remotes with IntelliTouch only, see page 2.

Spa temperature is displayed in the temperature display. The spa temperature may be adjusted up or down by pressing the
appropriate up or down arrow button. The current temperature display will blink while it is being adjusted. After setting the
desired temperature, the display shows the actual temperature as it adjusts to the set temperature. This only functions while
in the “Spa” mode. The temperature set by the iS10 is only temporary. When the “Spa” mode is switched OFF, the
temperature set at the IntelliTouch Indoor Control Panel will resume the next time the spa mode is activated using the “Set
manual heat” function (see the IntelliTouch User’s Guide (P/N 520102) for details. The “Spa” mode will automatically switch
off after 24 hours.

iS10 required mounting space

In order to install the iS10 spa-side remote into the wall of a gunite spa, provision must be made while the spa is being
plumbed. For recessed mounting (even with tile, plaster, or other flat installation only), a mounting enclosure
(mud-box, P/N 520335 sold separately) and flat faceplate must be used. For surface mounting (protruding from deck, tile or
uneven surface), a skirted faceplate is used without the use of a mud-box. When installed, the iS10 remote requires the
following space:

Flat Faceplate: 6-1/2” x 3-1/2”

Skirted Faceplate: 6” x 2-5/8” x 1-1/4” high

Mud-box: 5-1/2” x 2-1/2” x 2-7/8” deep

Material: ABS plastic

Note: If the IntelliTouch load center to which the spa-side remote is connected is not located above the spa water level, a
junction box should be provided (above water level).

Recess mount installation

CAUTION - The iS10 is splash-proof/weatherproof and is NOT submersible. The iS10 must be installed above the

highest sustained water level. Do not allow mud-box to be submerged.

Step 1: Install Conduit

Prepare the mounting location near the spa by
installing a 1 in. conduit where the remote control
is to be located. Conduit may be reduced down
to ¾ in. or ½ in. after the first three inches cast
into the spa area. Run the conduit from the spa
to the low voltage raceway of IntelliTouch load
center using sweep elbows for turns.

Step 2: Install Mud-Box

Slide the mud-box over the conduit. Trim the
conduit so that it just protrudes into the mud-box.
The fit will be loose. Orient the mud-box so the
iS10 spa-side remote will be even with the deck
or spa wall. Secure the mud-box and plumbing
together using NEUTRAL CURE caulking or RTV.
Insert the mud-box cover (secure with two
screws) until the deck or spa wall are finished,
discard insert when completed (keep the screws
for bracket installation). Cut away the mud-box
wall protruding from finished deck or spa wall.

Adding an iS10 spa-side remote controller to IntelliTouch

Up to four iS10 Spa-Side remote controllers can be installed to allow each iS10 to operate different functions or to the same
functions at different locations. Each iS10 can be assigned as number 1, 2, 3, or 4. If a different number is not assigned to
each installed iS10, then all iS10’s are assigned as number iS1. This is useful if you wish to have the same functions
available at different iS10 locations.

The following steps describe how to manually assign each iS10 a number 2, 3, or 4 as required.

Note: If the first iS10 was installed with the main Load Center or Power Center, it will automatically be assigned as number
IS1. Other additional iS10 remotes need to be manually assigned.

To assign additional iS10 remotes as iS2, iS3, or iS4:

1. On the IntelliTouch outdoor control panel, press the Reset button then press the 1 button. The three “System
Control” LEDs will start flashing.

2. On the iS10, press the bottom part of the “peanut shaped” toggle switch and the 1 button at the same time while
the outdoor control panel LEDs are flashing.

3. The iS10 temperature display will show SHA.

4. The four red iS10 LEDs adjacent to the in-line buttons will be on. Do one of the following:

• If this is the second iS10, press 2. The temperature display reads IS2.

• If this is the third iS10, press 3. The temperature display reads IS3.

• If this is the fourth iS10, press 4. The temperature display reads IS4.

5. The iS10 red LEDs will start to flash for about a minute. Wait until they stop flashing. Repeat steps 2-4 for each
remote.

6. On the outdoor control panel, press the Reset button. The iS10 is now configured.

Note: To configure the buttons on the iS10 remote controller, refer to “Setting up the iS10 remote from IntelliTouch indoor
control panel” see page 2. To disable or enable the iS10 remote from the indoor control panel, refer to “Disable/Enable
the iS10 spa-side remote,” see page 2.

Upgrading from the SS8 to the iS10 remote

The iS10 spa-side remote may be used to replace the SS8 spa-side remote on the CP3XXX family of systems. Note: The
iS10 remote will still only control up to eight functions. The SS8 must also have been plumbed with a minimum 1-inch
conduit.

Remove SS8 remote

Unplug the SS8 from the load center then pull out the unit from spa-side location. Remove the SS8 mounting bracket from
spa-side location (two screws). All that should be left is a minimum of 1-inch. diameter conduit.

Install the iS10 remote

The installation is identical as the iS10 surface mounting of a new installation (see pages 4 through 7) except for the
faceplate (P/N 520427) to match the SS8 footprint. Run spa-side remote cable through conduit and into the load center.
