Relay Programming

• IntelliConnect includes two high voltage relays for connecting equipment. Once equipment has been wired to a high voltage relay, it can be controlled via the Pentair Home app.
• Equipment that be can wired to IntelliConnect relays include; Booster Pumps, Color and White Lights, Single Speed Pumps and other flow dependent or non-flow dependent equipment.

Adding a Booster Pump or Other Flow-Dependent Equipment

Designating a relay as a “Booster Pump” or “Other (Flow-Dependent)” will ensure the filter pump is activated two minutes before the relay is activated; ensuring flow during relay operation.
When assigning a Booster Pump or Other Flow-Dependent equipment to an IntelliConnect relay:

1. Device Voltage: Select the voltage of the equipment connected to the particular relay.
2. Pump Speed: Set the speed the filter pump will run when the relay is activated.
3. Save: Press to save edits made at the relay screen. If you leave this page without saving all edits will be lost.

Adding a Light, Single Speed Pump or Other Non-Flow-Dependent Equipment

When assigning a Light, Single Speed Pump or Other Non-Flow- Dependent equipment to an IntelliConnect relay

1. Device Voltage: Select the voltage of the equipment connected to the particular relay.
   Note: When adding a color light device voltage will not be set.

2. Save: Press to save edits made at the relay screen. If you leave this page without saving all edits will be lost.

Programming a Relay Device

Each relay features a screen similar to that shown below. To add or program a relay, refer to the descriptions below.

1. On/Off Toggle: Press to enable or disable the relay. If OFF, the relay will not start until this toggle is switched to ON.

2. Mode Selection: Choose whether you want to program the relay in Timer or Schedule mode.

   If the Enabled/Disabled toggle is ENABLED the program will repeat at the same time each day and for the set timeof day.

Freeze Protection Mode

In areas that experience a short period of freezing temperatures, Freeze Protection Mode should be activated by sliding the Freeze Protection Mode toggle to the ON position.

Note: Freeze Protecion Mode settings can be accessed from Pump Settings. Refer to IntelliFlo Programming, page 5.
A strong and stable wireless connection is required for properly syncing freeze protection, as IntelliConnect uses data from the internet based weather service and updates hourly.

WARNING

If your wireless connection, internet or the weather service website is not working the IntelliConnect freeze protection feature will not function. Additional steps will be required to avoid property damage from freezing temperatures. Follow the instructions given in the pump and other equipment manuals to prevent freeze damage.

• Freeze protection is designed to run the filter pump when air temperatures drop below the freeze protection set point for a short period of time. Freeze Protection will not guarantee protection from damage to pool, equipment or property during extended periods of cold.
• Contact your local pool professional for additional information on pool winterization to protect property and equipment in extended cold temperatures.
