Special Lighting Features

If you have at least one Pentair SAm and/or SAL or IntelliBrite, and/or FIBERworks lighting systems, you can use the special Color Set, Color Swim and Color Sync lighting features to change the lighting settings. Up to 12 of these light systems can be independently controlled from the Lights screen.

The Color Swim feature creates the illusion of bands of color moving through the water by switching on each light with a specific color in a specified order and at different time intervals. You can customize the Color Swim feature lighting effect by offsetting the delay time between the various installed Pentair colored lights. The order and time delay between lights can be mixed and matched to create many different effects. For example, colors moving left to right, one body of water to another, from the middle outward, etc. Once programmed all these effects work at the touch of a button. The Color Swim circuit must have its own relay and separate circuit. This lighting feature is not available IntelliTouch models i5, and i5S.

The special light features are:

•Color Set - Allows a combination of up to 12 SAm, SAL, IntelliBrite or FIBERworks lighting circuits to be preset to specific colors. Each light must have its own relay and separate circuits. This feature is not available for the i5, and i5S systems.

•Color Sync - Causes all color changing lights to synchronize their colors.

•Color Swim -Allows a combination of up to twelve SAm, SAL, IntelliBrite, or FIBERworks lighting circuits to be preset to transition through colors in sequence. Each light must have its own relay and separate circuits. This feature is not available for the i5, and i5S systems. The Swimming Colors or Color Swim feature creates the illusion of bands of color moving through the water by switching on each light with a specific color in a specified order and at different time intervals. The order and time delay between lights can be mixed and matched to create many different effects. For example, colors moving left to right, one body of water to another, from the middle outward, etc.

Before you start, check the following:

•The AUX circuits that control your lighting have been assigned names and one of these lighting circuit functions: Light, IntelliBrite, Color Wheel, Photon Generator, SAm light, SAL light, or Dimmer.

•Make sure that your SAm, SAL and IntelliBrite lights have been set up in Circuit Functions as SAm and SAL lights.

•Make sure to assign each colored lights in the appropriate position in the Configurator utility (see Setup Circuits (2 of 5), page 35).

•Make sure that any light you want to be controlled by the All on, All off, Color Sync, Color Set, and Color Swim feature are assigned in the “Special Lights” dialog in the Configurator utility (see page 36).

•If your system has FIBERworks lighting, it must be setup as a “Photon Generator” for the circuit controlling the light bulb and “Color Wheel” for the circuit controlling the color wheel. These setup steps are usually done by the installer. For details, refer to see “Assign a Circuit Name and Function,“ page 38.
