summer season without changing batteries, Using the power saving menu options you can also reduce power
consumption and extend battery life. The EasyTouch wireless control panel is water resistent, however, is not
intended to be submersible.
The EasyTouch wireless control panel is designed to be used with the EasyTouch 8 or EasyTouch 4 system.
The EasyTouch system can automatically control your pool and spa equipment, lights and other optional
equipment . You can also manually control all EasyTouch system operations from the EasyTouch outdoor
control panel located at the pool equipment pad. Using the outdoor control panel buttons you can manually
override any automatic settings. For more information, refer to the EasyTouch User’s Guide (P/N 520584).

either you switch it off manually, or the next time the relay is scheduled to be switched off. For
example, if the filter pump is scheduled to automatically run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily then the
filter pump is switched on manually at 9:00 PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00 PM
then switch off. The schedule will then continue from then on.

Using the Once Only timer feature
The Schedules “Once Only” timer feature enables you to automatically switch equipment on for one time. This
feature allows you to program a circuit to turn on at a particular time on a one-time basis. For example, if you
wanted the spa to be heated when you arrive home, you could program the heater to switch on at a specific
time and after you have finished using the spa you can switch the heater off manually. After the program has
run, it is automatically erased. Unlike using the regular “Schedule” program, the “Once Only” program does
not repeat. The circuit must be turned off manually or wait for the 12 hour automatic shut-off. However, you
could also reset the 12 hour factory shut-off by entering an “Egg Timer” count down program to extend past
the default 12 hours shut-off.
The following example describes how to set a “Once Only “ program for the spa. The same steps apply when

Delay Cancel Menu
Use the Delay Cancel feature for service or testing purposes. For convenience, on a one-time basis, the Delay
Cancel feature will cancel the following safety delays. Please note, generally there is no need to cancel any of
the following delays except for servicing or testing the system.
•
Heater Cool-Down Delay Cancel: Shuts Filter Pump off immediately.
•
2-Speed Filter Pump five-minute START on HIGH SPEED Delay Cancel: Shifts pump to low
speed.
•
Automatic Pool Cleaner START Delay: Starts Cleaner Pump immediately, without normal delay in
which the filter pump first runs for 5 minutes.
•
Automatic Pool Cleaner SOLAR Delay: Allows Cleaner Pump to run even though solar delay has
shut it off for 5 minutes.
Some heaters require a cool-down cycle before being switched off. This can be setup in the menu to run the
filter pump an additional ten minutes to dissipate residual heat built up inside the heater combustion chamber.
The Delay Cancel feature is mainly for use by service technicians when it’s necessary to shut the filter pump
off immediately, and know the heater has not been running. Heaters manufactured by Pentair do not require
this cool-down period and do not need the delay to be set up.
Note: For Information about assigning delays to the pool and spa valves, refer to “Settings Menu:
Delays” on page 32.

Schedules Menu (Continued)
Program your Spa or Pool
You can use the “Schedule” feature to set the time and day(s) when to switch the filter pump on and rotate the
pool or spa valves into the “Spa” or “Pool” position. The heater will automatically heat the spa or pool water
up to the set point temperature as set in the “Heat” menu (see page 16). If the pool has a separate jet pump or
blower controlled by AUX 1 and/or AUX 2 , these need to be scheduled separately.
Schedules
You can create schedules to automatically run equipment like pool filtration or lights. Any circuit can be set to
switch on and off on every or any specific day of the week. When a relay is switched on manually, it remains
on until you either switch it off manually, or the next time the relay is scheduled to be switched off. For
example, if the filter pump is scheduled to automatically run from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM daily then the filter
pump is switched on manually at 9:00 PM, it will run continuously for 12 hours until the next day at 6:00 PM
then switch off. The programmed schedule will then continue from then on. Default run time for the
“Schedule” feature is 12 hours. If you program the start and stop times the same the schedule will run for 24
hours if scheduled to run for one day. A pool or spa program can be overridden using the Filter (F) button and
pool/spa Valves (V) button on the outdoor control panel in the EasyTouch load center. The system must be in
“Service” manual mode to operate these buttons.
Note: The following example describes how to use the “Schedule” feature to program the spa circuit to
switch the filter pump on and rotate the valves into the “Spa” position and switch the heater on. This
example can also be used to program when to filter and heat your pool, and switch light or auxiliary
circuits on or off.

Using the Once Only feature
The “Once Only” feature allows you to program a circuit to switch on at a particular time and day on a
one-time basis. A typical use for this feature is to have the spa and heater switch on before you get home from
work for one evening. Unlike the regular “Schedule” timer, this feature does not repeat. After this event has
finished, the program is automatically erased. The circuit must be switched off manually or wait for the 12
hour automatic shut off. If you wish to override the 12 hour default shut-off time you can extend the time by
using the “Egg Timer” count-down feature (page 23).
Note: The following example describes how use the “Once Only” feature to program the spa circuit to
switch the filter pump on and rotate the valves into the “Spa” position and switch the heater on for one
time only. This example can also be used if you wanted to program when to filter and heat your pool,
and switch light or auxiliary circuits on.

Using the Egg Timer (count-down) Feature
The “Egg Timer” feature allows you switch off a circuit automatically after a specified time. The time period
can be anywhere from one minute to 24 hours or run continuously. The “Egg Timer” (count-down) feature is
useful for switching off lighting and spa therapy jets. For example, a jet pump can be set to switch off in 15
minutes, even when switched on by the iS4 Spa-Side remote control or whenever you switch your spa on, you
would like it to automatically switch it off in two hours. All Egg Timer programs are factory set to switch off
after 12 hours. You also have the option to use the “Don’t Stop” feature to run a circuit continuously until
manually switched off.
Please note that in the event of a power failure, the “Egg Timer” feature will not switch the circuit back on.
Use the “Service” mode to turn the equipment back on. For running the filter pump continuously during new
pool start up, it is recommended to use the “Service” mode, which will automatically restart the filter pump in
the event of a power failure.
The following example describes how to program the “Egg Timer” for the spa. The same applies when
selecting the pool or any auxiliary circuit.

Settings Menu: IntelliChlor
The IntelliChlor electronic chlorination system must be connected to the EasyTouch system to use the
following IntelliChlor settings. While in normal operating mode (“Pool,” “Spa” mode or “Spa Fill (Spillway),”
EasyTouch will control the chlorinator output level. When IntelliChlor is connected to the EasyTouch outdoor
control panel, chlorination levels can only be changed from the EasyTouch outdoor control panel, indoor control
panel or wireless control panel. The amount of chlorine introduced into the pool is determined by the amount of
salt in the water, water temperature, and the amount of time the pool operates in “Pool” mode. Note: While in
“Freeze Protection” mode, IntelliChlor will not operate during the time that the filter pump is operating. For
more information, refer to the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator User’s Guide (P/N 520589).

When Super Chlorination is enabled, the system will switch on the filter pump, set the pool/spa valves to the
correct position, and set the IntelliChlor chlorine generator to maximum output. This process continues for 24
hours. At the end of the Super Chlorination process, the pool will return to normal operation. It is possible to
manually stop the Super Chlorination process and switch off the filter pump using the Filter (F) button on the
control panel. When the filter pump is switched on again using the Filter (F) button, the Super Chlorine process
will resume for the duration of time left.

Settings Menu: Circuit Types
Assigning Circuit Types
From the “Circuit Types” menu you can assign special logic to the circuits. For example, when setting up an
automatic pool cleaner pump, you would assign the circuit type MASTER CLEANER. With this "Cleaner"
logic the cleaner pump would force the filter pump on, and the cleaner pump would start after a delay of five
minutes. The cleaner pump would automatically shut off whenever the spa and/or solar is switched on.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection switches on a circuit if the outside air temperature sensor detects the temperature is getting
close to freezing (below 35° F). The system will switch on all circuits that have been assigned freeze
protection, and runs the circuits for 15 minutes to stop the pipes from freezing. This is especially important if
there is a pool and spa combination. If freeze protection is set to both the spa and pool circuits, the filter pump
switches on and the pool and spa valves alternate every 15 minutes to keep the water moving in both the pool
and spa. This process continues until the freeze condition is over.

Note: for the POOL circuit the filter pump will have freeze protection. For the
SPA circuit the filter pump will run and the pool/spa valves will switch between
pool and spa at 15 minutes intervals throughout the freeze condition. For the
MASTER CLEANER circuit freeze protection is generally not needed for pool
cleaner pumps since they get water flow from the filter pump. Just make sure
that POOL has freeze protection.

Troubleshooting
Use the following troubleshooting information to help resolve problems that may occur when using the
EasyTouch system. If by following the recommended actions you are still unable to resolve the problems,
please contact Technical Support (see page vi).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I setup a two-speed pump?
A two-speed pump operates using two relays and one or more circuits. The first relay turns the pump on or
off. Assuming this is a filter pump, this circuit is controlled by the pool and spa circuits or any other circuit that
may be tied to the filter pump (such as circuits with freeze protection, etc.). The second relay switches the
pump from low speed to high speed. The default condition is low speed. Up to seven circuits (EasyTouch 8),
three circuits (EasyTouch 4) may be assigned to trigger the pump to high speed. Note: These circuits do not
switch the pump on.
To configure a two-speed pump relay, refer to “Settings Menu: 2-Speed Pump,” on page 31. The 2-Speed
pump relay connector is plugged into the 2-SPD output on the EasyTouch motherboard.
Can I switch the heater on and change the temperature from the spa?
The heater may be switched on from the spa location using the iS4 Spa-Side remote or by the QuickTouch
wireless remote controller. To learn more about these remotes and controllers, see page 6. However, the iS4
and QuickTouch wireless remote controller cannot adjust the water temperature.
How do I switch on solar heating?
The system must first be configured for solar heating. Go to the “Heat” menu (see page 18) and enable
“Solar” as the heat source (Settings Menu: Heat > Solar). Note: Do not set solar as a heat pump. Then the
heating method must be selected for each body of water.

EasyTouch Transceiver Module Installation
Installing the EasyTouch Transceiver Module
Use the following procedure to install the EasyTouch transceiver module near the EasyTouch load center and
the transceiver cable to the EasyTouch motherboard COM port. Read through the installation procedure
before starting.
EasyTouch wireless control panel kit
The EasyTouch wireless control panel kit consists of:
•
•
•
•
EasyTouch wireless control panel
Two AA-size alkaline batteries
Transceiver module
Four plastic anchors and retaining screws (to mount the transceiver module)
Mounting the EasyTouch Transceiver Module
The Transceiver module is a two-way radio device with an attached antenna that communicates to and from
the EasyTouch system via the wireless hand-held wireless control panel. Mount the Transceiver module at a
convenience location (on a flat vertical surface) near the Load Center, at a minimum of 5 ft. above ground
level to optimize the functional operating range of the wireless control panel.
CAUTION - To avoid signal interference, mount the Transceiver module antenna a minimum of
10 ft. away from the Load Center, any metal surface/structure, or air blower located in the immediate area of
the equipment pad.
To mount the EasyTouch transceiver module:
1.
CAUTION - Switch the main power off at the EasyTouch load center.
2. Remove the two retaining screws securing the transceiver case to the back plate. Carefully slide the
case off the back plate.
3.
CAUTION -Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Hold the circuit board from the edges. Do not
touch the board components, electrostatic discharge can damage the board. Slide the
transceiver circuit board up and out of the back plate.
4. Position the back plate against the mounting surface so that the case is oriented in an upright position
(with the antenna pointing upwards). Use a pencil to mark the four mounting points. Drill four 3/16 in.
diameter holes into the mounting surface. If screws are not being used, insert the four plastic wall
anchors (provided in the kit).
5. Feed a UL approved four 22 AWG conductor cable through the knockout hole at the bottom of the
enclosure. Do not run wire through the drain holes. If the knockout hole is not being used to run wire
through, drill a hole through the bottom of the back plate, route the wire through the hole and seal it
using a fitting with a few feet of conduit or some other sealant between the case and the cable.
