Wireless Touch Pad Pre-wiring Instructions
Description:
The Touch Pad sends a digital signal to the cover receiver unit which is mounted in the cover housing.
The signal is received through the remote antenna that is connected to the receiver board. The Touch
Pad must be located in line of sight of the antenna.
(See "Wireless Touch Pad Placement and Antenna Mounting" instructions.)
There are no wires required to be run to the Touch Pad, it is powered by a long life lithium battery
with a 5 year life expectancy. Only power wires need to be run to the receiver board and the receiver
board is wired to the pool cover motor or hydraulic pump motor.
Touch Pad:
The Touch Pad is operated by pushing and holding either the cover, or uncover buttons.
The Touch Pad can be locked off or on with the lock provided. Up to 3 Touch pads may be installed
to operate the same cover.
Touch Pad Mounting:
The Touch Pad comes in a 2" x 4" bezel mounted in a separate standoff box. The Touch Pad can
be mounted in a standard recessed wall box if you choose. The Touch Pad must be mounted in
full view of the pool cover and must be 5 feet above the deck to meet codes.
Hydraulic Installations:
Hydraulic power units are typically mounted in a remote location from the pool. Your power wires for
the Touch Pad will run to the hydraulic power unit location. The antenna attached to the receiver board
must be located in line of site with the Touch Pad for reception. The antenna has a 10 ft cord and may
be able to be mounted in a good reception location. If not the receiver will have to be extended away
from the hydraulic system until the antenna is in a good reception location. Do not cut or extend the
antenna wire. It has been tuned for a specific length and will not work if changed.
Electrical Requirements:
120 V AC dedicated line from 15 amp G.F.C.I. 3# 14 AWG wires, hot, neutral and ground.
(Run's longer than 50 ft, may require larger wires.) Conduit from breaker must terminate in motor side of
housing with at least 3 feet of flex conduit plus wires.

Your Wireless Touch Pad comes to you Pre-programmed. If the System is not operating properly, follow
this procedure.
TO CLEAR MEMORY:
Step 1: Circuit Breaker: ‘OFF’
Step 2: Orange Button (in Receiver Box): hold down three seconds as the Circuit Breaker is
switched on – this is a concurrent event.
This will clear the memory.
TO PROGRAM THE RECEIVER TO TOUCH PAD:
Step 1: Power to the Pool Cover ‘ON’
Step 2: Touch Pad Key: ‘ON’ position
Step 3: Hold the orange button down for 3 seconds as either Touch Pad button is held so the
LED flashes. This is a concurrent event.
This will complete the programming.
PROGRAMMING a 2ND or 3rd TOUCH PAD: (Up to 3 Touch Pads can be programmed to run cover.)
Repeat step 1 & 2 for programming as described above.
This will complete the programming of the second Touch Pad. Repeat procedure for 3rd
Touch Pad.
LED FUNCTIONS:
Touch Pad LED flashes during transmission. Receiver LED flashes when receiving a signal.
Note: If Receiver LED flashes but the cover does not move, clear the memory and reprogram
the Touch Pad. It is not abnormal for the LED to flash intermittently.

Wireless Touch Pad Placement and Antenna Mounting
Mounting locations for Aluminum Lid - Bench - Hydraulic systems
The antenna for the Wireless Touch Pad receiver is
mounted on top of the aluminum lid or outside the bench
assembly. The antenna has a 10 ft. cable and can be extended
out to a clear line of reception. Never cut the antenna cable.
On aluminum lids the antenna should be mounted on the lid
since it is moved less than the lid ends. The Wireless Touch Pad
control can be mounted within an 80 ft. circle of the antenna as
long as there are no obstructions between the antenna and the
Touch Pad. Hydraulic pump units are usually mounted away from
the pool. In this case you will need to use the same distance
requirement from the antenna location. If the antenna cannot
be mounted in line of reception you may need to move the receiver
box off the hydraulic unit so the antenna is in range.
Always test the reception from the proposed Touch
Pad mounting location before permenantly mounting
the Touch Pad! Make sure the cable is secured to the housing.
RECEIVER
ANTENNA LID
Mounting locations for Vanishing Lid mounted antenna systems
Antenna mounted to bottom
front of lid tray with double sided
tape and fully extended
toward center of mechanism.
The antenna for the Wireless Touch Pad receiver is mounted
on the underneath side of a lid tray. This location will be somewhat
obstructed and you will need to insure the antenna is as far
forward on the front of the tray as possible. The antenna should
be mounted as far towards the center trays of the lid as possible
with the 10 ft. cable. Never cut the antenna cable. The reason is to get
the antenna out and exposed to the radio signal from the Touch Pad.
Antenna located under lids, stone or other material may not receive a
signal coming from behind the lid. It may be possible to get reception
in these areas but, you will need to test first to see how well the system
receives before choosing a mounting location.
