3 Plumbing Requirements It is important that the pool and spa plumbing system be in accordance with local codes and the Recommended Hydraulic Schematics (page 4 and 5). Before starting, please review the diagrams and the following recommended guidelines: 1 The spa should be at or above the level of the pool. If the spa is attached to the pool, provide a dam between the two bodies of water to allow the spa to overflow into the pool.
4 9 Plumb the solar feed and return lines between the filter and the heater. Install a three-port valve at the feed line. Use a solar valve (model SOL-2T), to allow automatic draining of the panels. 10 A solar booster pump should be used when the distance to the panels exceed 200 ft., or the panels are elevated higher than 25 ft. 11 Glazed solar panels require a drain valve (model HW-5B) to allow draining of the panels. This prevents damage from overheating water.

6 EasyTouch Load Center High Voltage Connections The EasyTouch load center enclosure includes a 125/220 VAC 125 AMP circuit breaker base (subpanel), high-voltage power relays, transformer, and low voltage circuit breakers. WARNING - BEFORE REMOVING THE HIGH VOLTAGE COVER PANEL FROM THE ENCLOSURE switch the main power OFF into the home at the main circuit breaker box. Also, switch OFF the main power to the EasyTouch load center before removing the high voltage cover panel to access the low voltage raceway.

8 Preparing the EasyTouch Load Center Enclosure Before mounting the EasyTouch load center, first remove the front door and the high voltage panel to access the conduit knockouts and low voltage raceway. To remove the EasyTouch load center front door and high voltage panel 1. Unpack the load center from the shipping box. 2. Unlatch the front door spring latches, and open the front door. 3. Remove the front door screw located above the lower hinge. Remove the front door from the hinges. 4.
9 Mounting the EasyTouch Load Center The EasyTouch load center can be mounted on a flat vertical surface, such as a wall or post. To mount the EasyTouch load center: 1. Position the EasyTouch load center against the vertical flat surface. If wall anchors are being used, support the EasyTouch load center enclosure in position (horizontally level and square) against the surface and mark the bracket hole pattern on the wall. 2.
10 Removing Electrical Conduit Knockouts Before installing EasyTouch load center electrical conduit, read the following recommended guidelines: • Determine the number of low and high voltage circuits being used in the EasyTouch load center, the conduit size and runs needed based on the wire size, and the number of conductors within the conduit. The EasyTouch load center conduit knockouts sizes are 1", ½" and ¾".
11 Installing Conduit and Wire to the EasyTouch Load Center Before installing electrical conduit, read the following recommended guidelines: • Determine the number of low and high voltage circuits being used in the EasyTouch load center, the conduit size and runs needed based on the wire size, and the number of conductors within the conduit. • Use 14 minimum to 6 maximum AWG for relay circuits depending on the load requirement.

13 EasyTouch Motherboard Connections The EasyTouch system motherboard is mounted onto the back of the main load center control panel. The motherboard provides the voltage connections to switch the filter pump, heater, auxiliary relays, motorized valves, and connections for temperature sensors, EasyTouch Indoor Control Panel and iS4 Spa Side remote. To access the motherboard, refer to “Accessing the EasyTouch Motherboard,” on page 14.
14 Accessing the EasyTouch Motherboard The EasyTouch motherboard provides connectors for the auxiliary relays, valve actuators and sensors (see page 13). To access the motherboard connectors, fold down the main control panel. To access the motherboard connectors: 1. Loosen the two retaining screws securing from the top edge of the control panel. 2. Fold down the control panel to access the rear of the motherboard for the electrical connections. 3.
15 Installing Auxiliary Relays Install the optional auxiliary relays as needed. To install a relay: 1. Install optional auxiliary relays below the pre-installed relays. Secure in place with two retaining screws. Depending on the EasyTouch model, there may be up to 5 available relay positions (EasyTouch 8 includes eight relays and EasyTouch 4 includes four relays). 2. Route the relay cable plug up through the holes into the low voltage compartment to the motherboard. 3.
16 Installing Valve Actuators For shared equipment systems there are two motorized valve actuators (CVA-24T) included with the EasyTouch kit. To install a valve actuator: 1. Remove the valve handle/cover four screws, indicated with arrows on the valve cover. 2. Mount the actuator on the valve. Optional: Mount the valve handle onto the actuator as shown below. 3. Secure the actuator with the provided screws. 4.
17 Installing and Connecting Temperature Sensors Water Temperature Sensor To install the water sensor: 1. Drill a 5/16 in. hole in the plumbing between the filter pump and filter. 2. Insert tip of sensor into the hole. Use the band clamp to secure the sensor to the pipe. Tighten the clamp just enough so that the o-ring begins to flatten. Do not overtighten 3. At the EasyTouch load center, route the wire up through the low voltage raceway to the motherboard. 4.
18 Connecting the Heater Thermostat The following installation instructions are for gas heaters and heat pumps with low voltage thermostats. To connect the heater thermostat cable plug to the motherboard: 1. Run a two-conductor cable from the heater thermostat area to the low voltage raceway to the motherboard in the EasyTouch load center. 2. Strip the conductors ¼ in. Insert the wires into the GAS HEATER two-screw terminals (J19) on the motherboard.
19 Connecting the IntelliChlor Cell The following connection instructions are for the optional IntelliChlor electronic chlorine generator (model IC20 and IC40). After the IntelliChlor cell unit has been installed, connect the cell power cable to EasyTouch load center. To connect the IntelliChlor power cable to the EasyTouch load center: 1.
20 Rewiring the IntelliChlor Transformer for 115 VAC The IntelliChlor power supply transformer located in the EasyTouch load center can be wired for 220 VAC or 115 VAC. The IntelliChlor transformer is pre-wired at the factory for 220 VAC service.
21 EasyTouch System Start-Up Perform the following start-up procedures to ensure that the EasyTouch load center is installed correctly. If you need more detailed operating information, refer to the EasyTouch Pool and Spa Control System User’s Guide (P/N 520584).
