Controls and buttons (Continued)
Pool button (Continued)
• Single-Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the Pool button to switch the pump
on. Press the Pool button again to switch the pump off. However, if the heater is operating, and a
delay is enabled for valves, this allows the heater to cool down (heater cool-down), then when you
press the Pool button to switch off the pump, only the heater will turn off, then the filter pump will
automatically switch off after 10 minutes to allow the heater to cool down. Pentair heaters do not
require a cool down time. To override the heater cool-down process, press the Pool button again to
switch off the pump.
• Two-Speed Filter Pump: Press the Pool button to switch the two-speed pump on in high speed.
Press the Pool button again to run the pump in low speed. In order to use the “2-Speed Pump” menu
assignments (see page 31), the 2-Speed relay option must be installed in the EasyTouch Load
Center.
Notes about Freeze Protection: This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against
freeze damage. If the outside air temperature sensor falls below 36° F, “Freeze Protection” is
activated and the Filter Pump relay is switched on to circulate the pool water. To enable freeze
protection for a circuit, see “Settings Menu: Circuit Types, ” on page 28.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): The main system display consists of a 16 x 4 alphanumeric character
LCD with EL backlighting for easy viewing of the menu items, and status messages. Press the
Menu/Select button twice to refresh the display. For EasyTouch main screen status information, see
page 5. For details about the battery status icon, see page 2.
Left button: Use the Left button to scroll through sub-menu selections, setting and values. While
editing settings, press and hold the Left button to fast reverse through settings and values.
Menu/Select and Power On button: This button has two functions; to access the menu options and
switch power on to the unit. The unit can be manually switched off using the “Power Off” menu
option (see page 41 for details). Use the Menu/Select button to access the EasyTouch menu system,
save and exit settings. Control panel buttons are disabled while in the menu. Use this button to exit
from main menu or sub-menu items. Pressing the Menu/Select button while in a menu item will
return to the main screen. If no menu activity is detected after five minutes, the main screen is
displayed. All menu settings are permanently saved and retained in the control panel even after
power is removed from the control panel.
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 280 for details. There are three auxiliary circuits (AUX 1- 3) available on the EasyTouch 4
and seven auxiliary circuits (AUX 1- 7) on EasyTouch 8. 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.
