Installing and Connecting Temperature Sensors

Water Temperature Sensor

To install the water sensor:

1.Drill a 5/16 in. hole in the plumbing between the filter pump and filter.

2.Insert tip of sensor into the hole. Use the band clamp to secure the sensor to the pipe. Tighten the clamp just enough so that the o-ring begins to flatten. Do not overtighten

3.At the EasyTouch load center, route the wire up through the low voltage raceway to the motherboard.

4.Fasten the cable to the plumbing with cable ties.

5.Cut off the excess wire and the strip conductors ¼ inch. Insert the wires into the WATER screw terminals (J21) on right-side of the motherboard. For motherboard connection details, refer to “EasyTouch Motherboard Connections,” on page 13. For wiring details, refer to EasyTouch System Wiring Diagram,” on page 23.

Ambient Air Temperature (Freeze Protection) Sensor

To install the air sensor:

1Mount the sensor in the open air, in a shaded area, away from air conditioners. During the winter months, to avoid freeze damage to pool and spa equipment, mount the air sensor in a shaded area to assure proper temperature readings.

2Route the wire through the low voltage raceway to the motherboard.

3Fasten the cable to the plumbing with cable ties.

4Cut off the excess wire and the strip conductors ¼ in. Insert the wires into the AIR screw terminals (J21) on right side of the motherboard.

Solar Temperature Sensor (Optional)

To install the solar sensor:

1Mount the sensor on a flat surface, with the same exposure to sun as the solar collectors (next to the collectors is recommended). Do not let the sensor touch the panels.

2If necessary, splice a two-conductor extension wire to the sensor. Route the wire to the load center and up through the low voltage raceway to the motherboard.

3Strip the conductors ¼ in. Insert the wires into the SOLAR screw terminals (J21) on right side of the motherboard.
