IntelliChlor® Salt Chlorine Generator - (optional)
The optional IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator system allows the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System system to automatically control water sanitization by using a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool and spa water. IntelliChlor automatically converts the salt into free chlorine which eliminate bacteria and algae in the pool and spa water. The chlorine will then revert back to sodium chloride after killing the bacteria. The outcome of this continuous cycle, practically eliminates the need to use sanitizing chemicals in the pool/spa water. IntelliChlor model IC20 (P/N 520554/520556) is designed for swimming pools up to 20,000 U.S. gallons (75,000 liters). Model IC40 (P/N 520555/520556) is designed IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator for swimming pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (151,000 liters).
IntelliChem® Chemical Controller (optional)
The optional IntelliChem® Controller is a pH and ORP sensing device that dispenses correct amount of chlorine or bromine, muriatic acid or CO2 gas. IntelliChem provides continual analysis of your swimming pool water sanitation and pH levels, providing real-time status information to dispense the proper amount of muriatic acid (pH reducer) and chlorine or bromine for the correct sanitization and pH balance. IntelliChem Controller operates with or without a salt chlorine generator to provide a self-replenishing supply of chlorine generated from salt. IntelliChem Controller can also connect to carbon dioxide (CO2) liquid gas tanks to lower pH in your swimming pool water. When CO2 dissolves into water it produces weak neutral bicarbonate salts which reduces pH. CO2 is environmentally friendly and produces no secondary pollution into the treated water by salts such as chlorides or sulfates. IntelliChem also supports IntelliChlor® Salt Chlorine Generator to help manage your pool water sanitizer levels.
IntelliChem Chemical Controller
iS4 Spa-Side Remote (optional)
The iS4 Spa-Side remote controller is a double-insulated, waterproof device that is UL (1563) listed for installation at the water's edge. Installed above the water line of the spa wall, or in the deck within arm's reach of a spa occupant. The iS4 can control four circuits from the spa location. Used for activating spa circulation and any three auxiliary pieces of equipment (such as lights, jet pump, air blower, etc.). The red status LED indicator glows steady when in Spa mode and flashes while the spa is heating.

Section 2 Setting up the EasyTouch® PL4/PSL4 Control System
Setting up the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System for the First Time
Use the following steps if you are setting up the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System for the first time. Note: The following setup steps assume that the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System Power Center is installed at the equipment pad and ready for operation. For more information see the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System Power Center installation instructions (P/N 520583). The recommended first time installation steps for the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System are: 1. Set the system date and time (page 34) Set the current date and time. 2. Assign circuit names (pages 42) Assign the generic default circuit names for output auxiliary equipment. Rename (if necessary) and assign circuit names to the auxiliary (AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX3) connections. Note the factory set auxiliary names correspond to the plug-in location of the relay on the motherboard. You can assign circuit names from the available of circuit names. There are nearly 100 circuit names available (see page 43 for the complete list). 3. Create custom names for auxiliary circuits (page 46) If you cannot find a circuit name that fits your application you can create up to 10 additional customized names that can be created before assigning circuit names. 4. Assign a "Circuit Function" to a "Circuit Name" (Page 44) Assign "Circuit Functions" (1-7) to the auxiliary circuit names you created in Step 3 above. From the Circuit Function menu, you can assign special logic to a circuit by selecting one of the available circuit functions. For the complete list of preset Circuit Functions. If an auxiliary circuit (AUX) is assigned GENERIC (simple ON/ OFF when the button is pushed) then nothing needs to be done. 5. Create "Feature Circuits" to conserve relays (page 23) If you need to conserve physical auxiliary Power Center relays, there are two (2) Feature Circuits available that you can assign to circuit functions. Feature Circuits are manually turned on or off from the control panel "Feature Circuits" menu. 6. Configure valve actuators (controlled by AUX circuit) (page 46) The EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System can drive one auxiliary valve actuators for applications such as solar heating and water features. Assign which circuits that will activate valves A and B. Auxiliary valve actuators can be controlled by any AUX circuit. Valve A is automatically assigned to solar if "Solar" is enabled in the "Solar" menu. Tip: Use a "Feature Circuit" to control a valve actuator (see page 23). 7. Set up optional equipment, solar, two-speed pump (page 47) Set up additional equipment such as solar, 2-speed pump, and optional equipment if required. Set up the control panel to operate with the optional IntelliChlor® Salt Chlorine Generator (see page 38 and IntelliChem® Controller (see page 39). To configure the system for special equipment: · Is solar heating available? Is solar being used for a heat pump? · What circuits will turn 2-Speed pumps to High Speed? · Is there a heat pump (UltraTemp® Heat Pump) being used? · Is there an IntelliChlor® SCG installed? · Is there an IntelliChem® Controller installed? · Cool-down cycle for the heater - Lets you set circuits that switch the filter pump to high speed. · Do you want to delay turning off the filter pump for 10 minutes when the heater is turned off? · Do you want the spa to heat whenever the Spa button is pressed?

Using the Egg Timer (countdown) Feature
The "Egg Timer" feature allows you switch off a circuit automatically after a specified time. The time period is from one minute to 24 hours or run continuously. The "Egg Timer" (countdown) feature is useful for switching off lighting and spa therapy jets. For example, a jet pump can be setup to switch off in 15 minutes, even if you switch it on using the iS4 Spa-Side Remote or QuickTouch® II Wireless Remote 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.
In the event of a power failure, the "Egg Timer" feature will not switch the circuit back on. They must be switched back on manually. 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 use the "Egg Timer" (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.

If the IntelliFlo pump is connected to an automation system, such as the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System, the drive must be powered up to receive and respond to the RS-485 serial communication from the automation system. However, the pump can be operated in "stand-alone" mode, starting and stopping when power is applied or removed. When the drive powers up it will return to the mode and run status that it was in when power was removed. This setup is appropriate if you need to use existing relays or timers.
Assigning an IntelliFlo VS 3050 pump address
Before assigning a pump address at the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System indoor, wireless or outdoor control panel, first set the address on the pump itself. The pump's default address is pump #1.
To assign an IntelliFlo VS 3050 pump address:
1. Be sure that the pump is powered on and the green power LED is on.
2. Press the Stop buttons to stop the pump.
3. Press and hold both the Start and Stop buttons until the red LED will starts flashing, then press one of the four speed buttons (1-4) to select which address to assign the pump. For example, if you are assigning the pump as pump #1, then press Speed button number 1.
4. Press and hold both the Start and Stop buttons to save the address. Repeat the process for the other pumps.

SAT INDEX: The Saturation Index (SI), also called the Langelier Index, is a chemical equation or formula used to diagnose the water balance in the pool. The Saturation Index formula is SI = pH + TF + CF + AF - 12.1. To calculate the Saturation Index, you must first test the pool water for pH, temperature, calcium hardness, and total alkalinity. Refer to a chart for assigned values for your hardness, and alkalinity readings then add these to your pH value. Subtract 12.1, which is the constant value assigned to Total Dissolved Solids and a resultant number will be produced. A result between -0.3 and +0.5 indicates balanced water. Test results not within these values require chemical adjustments to achieve balance. This formula is more or less reliable but not guaranteed. In some cases, individual readings for pH, calcium, and alkalinity might be beyond normal recommendations, however, combined within the formula can produce "balanced water." The SI is useful to pinpoint potential water balance problems.
pH: pH produced by the IntelliChlor (SC) is close to Neutral pH. However, other factors usually cause the pH of the pool water to rise. Therefore, the pH in a pool chlorinated by the IntelliChlor (SC) tends to stabilize at approximately 7.8. This is within APSP standards. If the pool pH rises above 7.8, have a pool professional test to see if other factors such as high Calcium Hardness or Total Alkalinity are the cause and then balance accordingly.
pH Level Test: Test the pH level of your pool water with a reliable test method. If necessary, adjust according to your pool professional's recommendations. APSP's recommended ideal range for pH is 7.4 to 7.6. Note: Never use dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive evaporation and minimal dilution of pool water with fresh water. A buildup of byproducts can damage the IntelliChlor (SC).
Calcium Hardness: Recommended range for calcium hardness is 200-400 ppm. Calcium Hardness levels should be tested weekly. Calcium hardness is the calcium carbonate scale deposited on pool surfaces. The test for Calcium Hardness is a measure of how "hard" or "soft" the water is testing. "Hard" water can have high levels of calcium and magnesium. If these levels are too high the water becomes saturated and will leave calcium carbonate scale deposits (a "white-ish," crystallized rough spot) on any surface inside the pool. If the levels are too low, the water becomes "soft" and will corrode surfaces inside the pool. Use TSP or Hydroquest 100 to lower Calcium Hardness levels that are too high or add water to the pool which has a lower calcium hardness content. Levels which are too low require the addition of calcium chloride.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Adding salt to pool water will raise the TDS level. While this does not adversely affect the pool water chemistry or clarity, the pool water professional testing for TDS must be made aware salt has been added to the IntelliChlor system. The individual performing the TDS test may then subtract the salinity level to arrive at a TDS level that would be compatible to a TDS reading for a non-salt water pool.
Total Alkalinity: APSP's recommended ideal range for total alkalinity is 80 to 120 ppm for "gunite" and concrete pools and 125-170 ppm for painted, vinyl, and fiberglass pools. Test levels weekly and adjust according to your pool professional's recommendations. Alkalinity can be described as a buffer that keeps pH in order. pH depends on the ability of the alkalinity in the water to withstand the changes in pH. If the alkalinity is too high, adding acid (similar to pH) lowers the level. Adding a base (e.g sodium bicarbonate) when alkalinity is low, raises the level. The level of alkalinity in the water is a measurement of all carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides, and other alkaline substances found in the pool water.
Cyanuric Acid: Cyanuric acid is needed in outdoor pools to help to stabilize and maintain proper levels of chlorine. 90% of unstabilized chlorine is destroyed by the UV radiation from the sun within two hours. Cyanuric acid stabilizes chlorine in water from UV degradation. When using the IntelliChlor (SC), the cyanuric acid level should be maintained between 30-50 ppm (50ppm maximum).

Assigning Circuit Functions
From the "Circuit Functions" menu you can assign special logic to the cleaner pump, spa spillway, lights and MagicStream® Laminar circuits. For example, when setting up an automatic pool cleaner pump, you would assign the circuit function "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 (40° C)). 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.

Up/Down buttons: Select Yes or No to assign freeze protection to this circuit. If "Yes" is selected, the circuit will switch on if the air temperature drops to 35° F. 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.

Delays Cool down: This feature keeps the pump running for ten minutes after the heater is switched off to cool down the heaters header and heat exchanger. Some heater models require this cool down period or damage will occur. This is sometime referred toas the "Fireman Switch." for example, If you are in the spa, and you switch it off. The system will return the valves to "Pool" mode position. If the pool is running a cycle, or the Fireman switch (Spa/Pool Delay) is enabled,colder water from the pool would be pumped into the spa as the valves turn. Note: If the pool is not running a cycle,and the fireman switch is not enabled, the pump stops and no pool water would be pumped into the spa as the valves turn back to pool.
Delays For Valves: This feature creates a 30 second PUMP OFF (forced) period anytime the valves rotate. Either from pool to spa, or spa to pool. When you switch the spa off, even if the pool is running a cycle or the fireman switch is enabled,it stops the pump for 30 seconds while the valves turn, so colder water from the pool will not enter the spa. This feature prevents cold water entering the spa when you start the spa, so less heating is needed. It also stops the pump when the system is changing from pool to spa or back again in Freeze mode.

Settings Menu: Calibration
The EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System includes two temperature sensors (10 k) for water and ambient air temperature. You can also add an additional sensor for controlling solar heating systems. Generally, these sensors are accurate and you do not have to calibrate them. However, long plumbing runs and water features can cause temperatures at a body of water to be different from the temperature sensor reading. You can manually recalibrate the sensors to adjust for this. You only need to calibrate one body of water, since the temperature sensor is common to both the pool and spa. The system must be in "Service" mode to calibrate sensors.
Calibration
Before you start, you need an accurate all weather thermometer. If you are calibrating the air sensor, wait until the sensor is not in direct sunlight. For the air temperature sensor, make sure that the sensor is located in the shade for accurate readings.
To calibrate the water, air and solar temperature sensors:

Troubleshooting
Use the following troubleshooting information to help resolve problems that may occur when using the EasyTouch® PL4/PSL4 Control System. If by following the recommended actions you are still unable to resolve the problems, please contact Technical Support (see page ii).
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 four circuits (except for Spa/Hi Temp) 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 47. For relay location and wiring (see page 58). The 2-Speed pump relay connector is plugged into the 2-SPD output on the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System main circuit board.
How do I switch on solar heating?
The system must first be configured for solar heating. Go to the "Heat" menu (see page 30) and enable "Solar" as the heat source MENUsHEATsSOLAR Note: Do not set solar as a heat pump. Then the heating method must be selected for each body of water.
