Electrical Wiring and High Voltage Connections
Main AC Power Connection (Circuit Breaker Subpanel) The EasyTouch® and
IntelliTouch® Control System Load Center with circuit breaker sub-panel is
rated for 150 AMP maximum Single Phase (3 conductor). Run properly rated
conductors (L1,L2, N, and GROUND) from the primary house electrical panel to
the main AC power connections on the Load Center circuit breaker base (see
page 27). The connection at the main house panel should be to a 240 VAC
circuit breaker rated at 150 AMP maximum. Grounding and Bonding Connections
Connect a ground conductor from the primary house electrical panel to the Load
Center or Power Center GROUND BUS BAR (see page 27). Also ground each piece of
high voltage (120 VAC or 240VAC) equipment that is connected to the Load
Center or Power Center relays or circuit breakers. Also connect the Load
Center and Power Center to the pool bonding system using 8 AWG (6 AWG for
Canada) conductor. There are two (2) GROUND LUGS provides on the bottom of the
Load Center and Power Center. Circuit Breakers (For Load Center with sub
panel) Circuit Breakers are to be supplied and installed by the site
installer. For recommended circuit breaker types, refer to the circuit breaker
chart on the inside front door of the Load Center and Power Center. Be sure to
follow all manufacturer’s circuit breaker rating requirements. Some pool
equipment require connection to ground fault circuit breakers (GFCI). Check
local and NEC (CEC) codes for these requirements. Note: For recommended field
conductor gauge usage, refer to conductor size listed on the circuit breaker
label.
Installing Conduit and Conductors to the Enclosure
Before installing electrical conduit to the enclosure, read the following
recommended guidelines:

Adjusting the valve position (3-way valve shown below) If the valve rotates to the wrong position, adjust the switch on the back of the actuator between ON1 and ON2 positions. This will rotate the valve to the correct position. The following diagram shows the standard plumbing and valve actuator position.
Valve Handle Operation: To reposition the valve handle: Rotate the handle to
the desired “OFF” position. The diverter valve handle OFF indicator,
represents the current position of the valve’s internal diverter seal which
will stop the flow of water. The valve handle stop-pins determine the position
of the diverter valve’s internal seal to stop or allow water flow. Note: When
a motorized valve actuator is installed, stop-pins are not required.
Handle Stop-Pins Positions: The two movable stop-pins can be set to allow the
valve handle’s position to completely stop the flow of water, regulate a
limited flow, or allow the maximum flow. To set the stop-pins: Insert the
stop-pins in the pin holes according to the corresponding “degree indicator”
displayed on top of the handle. The stop-pin positions can be set to 180°,
L90° (left-side) and R90° (right side). Repositioning of either stop-pins
allows the handle to be set to any desired percentage of water flow.

terminal. Refer to Summary Installation Steps (page 5) and Power/Load System
Wiring Diagrams, on page 32 and 43.
System Test
The following describes how to test the Outdoor Control Panel to activate the
heater, valves and pumps. This test assumes that all system equipment has been
properly installed and connected to the Power/Load Center.
Testing Valve Actuators and Pumps
Use the following steps to test the valve actuators (CVA24T) for proper
rotation. For Outdoor Control Panel System i5+3, i7+3, i9+3 (shared
equipment).
To test the valve actuators and pump:
1. Power up the Power/Load Center.
2. Press the SYSTEM CONTROL button on the Outdoor Control Panel until the
SERVICE light is on.
3. Press the V (Valve) button to select POOL.
4. Press the F (Filter Pump) button to activate the filter pump. Water will
be removed from the pool and returned to the pool.
5. Set both valve actuators (CVA-24T) for suction and return. Use the toggle
switch on the rear of the CVA-24 to withdraw and return water from the pool.
Note: With the filter pump operating, if the water is not being removed and
returned to the pool, it may be necessary to reverse the RETURN with VLV A (or
VLV B) plugs on the Personality board.
Testing the auxiliary relays
Affix the auxiliary relay labels to the appropriate buttons on the Outdoor
Control Panel. If necessary, write the function on the control panel.
· Toggle the filter pump, each auxiliary circuit, heater and solar and verify
the function. Press the SYSTEM CONTROL button to set the system in “AUTO” mode
when done.
EasyTouch®, IntelliTouch® Control System Load Center Installation Guide
38
Solar System Installation
· To ensure maximum flow of water through the solar panels, a solar booster
pump should be added if panels are installed at a very high elevation.
· It is recommended that the solar panels are mounted in a way that gravity
will allow draining whenever the filter pump is not on.
· For systems with glazed panels, damage can occur from overheating if the
filter pump is still running after the solar has turned off. To enable glazed
panels to automatically drain whenever the solar turns off (even if the filter
pump is still running), a 1/2″ motorized solar drain valve should be plumbed
from the solar feed line, through a check valve, to a zero psi point (such as
pool fill line or jet air intake).
Solar System Start-Up
1. Switch power on to the IntelliTouch Load Center.
2. If pool cleaner protection has been added to the system, the pool cleaner
pump motor should be activated whenever the pool cleaner timer is on.
Momentarily turn pool cleaner on and off to check the motor is operating
correctly.
3. Check that Solar Valve is in “solar bypass” position, diverting water away
from solar panels. If Solar Valve is staged incorrectly (diverting water to
the solar panels), reverse switch on back of Valve Actuator (change from ON1
to ON2, or vice-versa). The Valve Actuator will automatically rotate to the
correct position.
4. Check that Solar Valve has rotated from the “solar bypass” position to the
“solar” position, diverting water through the solar panels.
5. The system is now ready to be operated as desired.
Pool Cleaner Protection Recommended for use in pool systems which utilize a
“booster pump” pool cleaner. This feature automatically turns off the pool
cleaner pump for a few minutes whenever solar is initiated. This will protect
the pump from damage caused by air in the solar panels at system start-up.
39
Installing the IntelliTouch® Control System Outdoor Control Panel
BEFORE INSTALLING THE LOAD CENTER AND POWER CENTER, ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MAIN
POWER into the home at the main circuit breaker box.
The IntelliTouch Control System Outdoor Control Panel includes a main circuit
board and the Personality circuit board. The Personality board is mounted on
top of the main circuit board which mounts on the back of the Outdoor Control
Panel. The control panel installs in the top part of the Power/Load Center
enclosure. The Power/Load Center receives control inputs from the Personality
board and distributes high voltage power to Pentair Valve Actuators (PVA),
control pumps, lights, and heater operations. The IntelliTouch remote Indoor
Control Panel also controls these and other functions, such as pool and spa
lights. To install the Outdoor Control Panel:
1. Unlatch the front door spring latch and open the front door of the Load
Center. 2. Remove the two (2) retaining screws securing the high voltage
cover-panel. Remove the
HIGH VOLTAGE COVER PANEL from the enclosure. 3. Remove the Outdoor Control
Panel from the Personality Kit and its packaging. 4. Mount the Outdoor Control
Panel in the top part of the Load Center. Secure the lower edge
of the control panel with the two retaining screws. Once secured, the Control
Panel can hinge out and down to access the Personality board for low voltage
connections. 5. When finished with the low voltage connections on the
Personality board, close the hinged control panel and secure it with the two
access screws. 6. Install the cover-panel and secure it with the two screws.
7. Close the front door of the Load Center. Fasten the two spring latch.

Plumbing Requirements
It is important that the pool and spa plumbing system be in accordance with
local codes and the Recommended Hydraulic Schematics (page 45 and 46). 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. If the spa is not attached
to the pool, an overflow, sufficient in size to carry a full pump-flow, must
be installed at the water level in the spa.
2 Plumb a three-port Intake Valve on the suction-side of the filter pump, so
that the center port of the valve is connected to the pump inlet. Connect the
spa suction to one side of the Intake Valve, and the pool suction to the other
side.
3 Plumb a three-port Return Valve on the return-side of the heater, so that
the return water will enter the valve through the center port.
Connect the spa return to one side of Return Valve, and the pool return to the
other side.
4 If required, install a spa makeup line (consisting of a manual gate or ball
valve, for elevated spas install a check valve) to bypass the pool return
line. This will enable some of the chemicallybalanced water from the pool to
cycle through the spa. The manual valve will allow the amount of bypass to be
adjusted.
5 If the spa is to be constructed in concrete, special provision should be
made at this time for the installation of the Spa-Side remote control.
Select a convenient location in the deck or above water level in the spa wall
(where the Spa-Side remote will not be submerged by the spa water), and
install a 6 in to 12 in length of one inch PVC pipe to provide a receptacle
for the Spa-Side remote. The pipe should be level and protrude beyond the
finished surface of the spa. It will be cut back later at installation time.
Reduce the pipe size down to ½ in or ¾ in conduit, and run it to the proposed
Load/Power Center location at the equipment pad. Use sweep elbows for turns.
The Spa-Side remote will not be installed until the spa construction is
completed.
6 For systems which incorporate a skimmer, it is possible to balance the
amount of suction between the skimmer and main drain for maintenance purposes.
This is easily accomplished by installing a manual three-port mixing valve at
the suction line. Plumb one port to the skimmer and the other to the main
drain.
7 If a “non-booster pump” pressure-side pool cleaner is being used, plumb a
manual three-port valve between the filter pump and filter, with the third
port plumbed to the pool cleaner line, and install a motorized two-port Pool
Cleaner Valve at this line. The motorized valve will automatically open
whenever the Control System activates the pool cleaner.
8 If a booster pump pool cleaner is being used, plumb the booster pump so that
its suction-side is connected to the pool return, after the heater, and as
close to the ground as practical.
45
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. Install a drain
valve at the solar feed line and connect to the pool fill line.
12 SCG systems only: IntelliChlor IC40 or IC20 salt chlorine generator (SCG)
cell with check valve at the heater output. Refer to IntelliChlor User’s Guide
(P/N 520589) for plumbing requirements.
Equipment Location
All equipment, with the exception of the spa-side remote, must be located at
least 10 ft. from the water’s edge.
