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

1. Set the system date and time (page 24)

Use the “clock” menu option to set the current date and time for the EasyTouch system.

2. Assign circuit names (pages 26)

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 27 for the complete list).

3. Creating custom names for auxiliary circuits (page 30)

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 28)

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 30)

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.
