2. Setup
The Screenlogic2 Interface & Wireless Connection Kit typically involves two main components: an outdoor unit that connects to your existing Pentair IntelliTouch or EasyTouch control panel, and an indoor unit that connects to your home's internet router. The wireless kit facilitates communication between these two units.
2.1. Component Overview
- Outdoor Protocol Adapter: This unit connects directly to the IntelliTouch or EasyTouch Controller Load Center COM port. It requires a 4-wire, 22-gauge wiring connection.
- Indoor Wireless Transceiver: This unit connects to your home's internet router via an Ethernet cable and requires a power source. It communicates wirelessly with the outdoor protocol adapter.
2.2. Installation Steps (General Guidance)
- Mount the Outdoor Protocol Adapter: Securely mount the outdoor unit near your pool/spa control panel, ensuring it is protected from direct weather exposure as per installation guidelines.
- Wire the Outdoor Unit: Connect the 4-wire, 22-gauge cable from the IntelliTouch or EasyTouch Controller Load Center COM port to the designated terminals on the outdoor protocol adapter. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram in the full installation manual for specific connections.
- Mount the Indoor Wireless Transceiver: Choose a suitable indoor location for the transceiver, ideally within the wireless range of the outdoor unit and close to your internet router and a power outlet.
- Connect to Router: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the indoor wireless transceiver to an available LAN port on your internet router.
- Power On: Connect the power adapter to the indoor wireless transceiver and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
- System Pairing: Follow the instructions in the full installation manual to pair the outdoor and indoor units. This typically involves a sequence of button presses or a software-guided process.
- App Installation: Download the Pentair ScreenLogic app from your device's app store (iOS or Android) or install the desktop software for your computer.
- Network Configuration: Open the ScreenLogic app/software and follow the prompts to connect to your newly installed system. This may involve entering network credentials or scanning for the device.
Always consult the complete Pentair installation manual for detailed, model-specific instructions and safety warnings before attempting any installation or wiring.
