OVERVIEW

iS4 Spa-Side Remote Control
The iS4 Spa-Side Control can be used with the Pentair® IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch® Control Systems and the Compool® CP series Control Systems to provide remote switching of four control circuits from the spa location. It is typically used for activating spa circulation and three auxiliary pieces of equipment (such as lights, jet pump, air blower, etc.). One iS4 spa-side control can be installed per control system. It is possible to install two iS4 remotes on a single control system, however, the two iS4 remotes will mirror each other in functionality. The iS4 spa-side remote is a double-insulated device UL and ETL listed to UL 1563. It is splash-proof and weatherproof but should not be permanently submerged below the spa water level. The iS4 remote must be installed above the highest sustained water level.
The iS4 Spa-Side Remote red LED status light functions are as follows:

Spa Mode N/A Steady Steady Steady
Heating N/A N/A Flashing Flashing

When used with any Pentair Control System:

• Voltage: 5 VDC
• Current: 2 mA maximum

iS4 Kit Contents

• Spa-side remote (with cable attached)
• S4 Mounting Adapter (for acrylic spa and upgrade from SS4)
• Label Set

INSTALLATION

The iS4 spa-side remote is a double-insulated, waterproof device for installation at the water’s edge. It is typically installed at the tile-line of the spa wall, or in the deck within arm’s reach of a spa occupant. It can be used with a gummite spa, acrylic spa, or hot-tub. However, in order to install the spa-side remote into the wall of a gummite spa, provision must be made while the spa is being plumbed.

iS4 Required Mounting Space
To install the iS4 Spa-Side Remote into the wall of a unite spa, provision must be made while the spa is being plumbed. For surface mounting (protruding from deck, tile or uneven surface), When installed, the iS4 remote requires the following space:

• Flat Faceplate: 6-1/2” x 3-1/2”
• Skirted Faceplate: 6” x 2-5/8” x 1-1/4” high
• Material: ABS plastic

NOTE: If the Automation Load Center or Power Center to which the spa-side remote is connected is not located above the spa water level, a junction box should be provided (above water level).
iS4 SPA-SIDE REMOTE GUNITE INSTALLATION

1. When plumbing the spa, install a 3 in. to 6 in. length of 1 in. Sch 40 PVC pipe (perpendicular to the spa wall) to provide a receptacle for the spa-side remote. Plumb the pipes level as possible. The “eyeball” design built into the remote compensate for a discrepancy of up to 15°. See Figure 1.
2. The pipe should protrude beyond the finished surface of the spa, as it will be cut back after surface-finishing is completed. Outside the spa, the conduit size may be reduced down to ½ in. or ¾ in., and run to the Control Power/Load Center.
3. Use sweep elbows for turns.
   NOTE: For new gunite spa installations, the iS4 Mounting Adapter has no purpose and can be discarded.

GUNITE SPA INSTALLATION

1.  When the spa construction is completed, cut back the 1 in. diagonal PVC conduit receptacle flush with the spa wall finish or surface of deck.
2. Run spa-side remote cable through conduit to Control Power/Load Center. Use Figure 2 and the color call-out the on back of remote to wire unit.
3.  Affix remote to 1 in. diagonal PVC conduit using a small amount of silicon on back of unit. Orient unit per Figure 3 for optimum usage by spa occupant. Attach appropriate labels to remote.

ACRYLIC SPA OR HOT-TUB INSTALLATION

1. Obtain optional Spa Wall Mounting Adapter and lock-nut (P/N SSADP).
2. Drill 1-5/8 in. diagonal hole in wall of spa or hot-tub. Insert Spa Wall Mounting Adapter, and use lock-nut on external surface of wall to secure Spa Wall Mounting Adapter into place. See Figure 3.
3.  Glue ½ in. PVC conduit directly into back of the Spa Wall Mounting Adapter and run conduit to the Control Power/Load Center. Use sweep elbows for turns.
4. Bond iS4 Mounting Adapter provided over Spa Wall Mounting Adapter using silicon.
5. Run spa-side remote cable through conduit to control power/load center. Affix remote to iS4 Mounting Adapter using small amount of silicon on back of unit. Attach appropriate labels (P/N 522082) to the remote.

UPGRADE FOR SS4 INSTALLATION

1. Remove existing SS4 making note of function and button color.
2. Orient iS4 Mounting Adapter to optimize usage by spa occupant per Figure 4.
3. Bond iS4 Mounting Adapter provided over existing Mounting Adapter using silicon. Run spa-side remote cable through conduit to Power/Load Center. See Figure 5.
