MobileTouch Wireless Controller
The MobileTouch wireless controller provides the same functionality as
the IntelliTouch Indoor Control Panel. It has an operating range of up to
500 ft. from the MobileTouch antenna (Transceiver), which is typically
located near the IntelliTouch load center. The optimum wireless
transmit and receive range may be affected by physical obstructions,
(especially those containing metal), and geographical features.
The MobileTouch controller LCD (liquid crystal display) can be
sensitive to sunlight. When exposed for extended periods, the LCD
screen will heat up and turn black. If this happens, place the remote in
a shaded area and allow the screen to cool down. Do not attempt to
adjust the contrast or the screen will be unreadable when it eventually
cools. When used outside, keep the remote covered or in a shaded
area. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may permanently damage the
unit.
MobileTouch Wireless Controller User’s and Installation Guide
WARNING! Do not plug in the AC adapter to a power source
within five (5) feet of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require a
minimum of (3) meters from pool water. Do not recharge outdoors.
Only use Pentair approved AC adapter transformer.
The MobileTouch wireless controller is water resistant and can be
exposed to temporary splashing or wet hands. However, the controller
is not intended to be submersed. Remove unit immediately if it is
dropped in the water or exposed to rain. Store the unit indoors in a dry
environment. Be sure the gold charging contacts are dry before
charging.
MobileTouch Wireless Controller (Previous Model)
The previous model of the MobileTouch wireless controller and
Transceiver antenna cannot be used with the latest model of the
MobileTouch wireless controller and Transceiver antenna. Both models
cannot coexist in the same IntelliTouch system.
