SunTouch Pool and Spa Control System Installation and User’s Guide

Setting up the SunTouch System for the First Time

(after equipment installation)

Use the following steps if you are setting up the SunTouch system for the first time.
Note: The following setup steps assume that the SunTouch enclosure is installed at the equipment pad
and ready for operation.
The recommended first time installation steps for the SunTouch system are:
1. Set the system mode and type (page 24)
System Mode: Configure the SunTouch system to operate in “Solar Only” or “Pool/Spa” mode.
System Type: Configure the SunTouch system to operate as a “Shared Equipment” system or as a “Single
Body” system (pool only or spa only).
2. Set the system date and time: Solar only (page 6) (For Pool/Spa mode, see page 9)

Set the system time for “Solar Only” and time and date for “Pool/Spa” mode.

3. Assign a circuit function to a circuit name (for Pool/Spa mode, see page 26)
Assign “Circuit Functions” (menu 10/13) to circuits. From the Circuit Type menu, you can assign special logic
to a circuit by selecting one of the available circuit functions. If an auxiliary circuit (AUX) is assigned
GENERIC (simple ON/OFF when the button is pushed) then nothing needs to be done.
4. Configure valve actuators (controlled by AUX circuit) - (For Pool/Spa mode, see page 21)
The SunTouch system can drive two auxiliary valve actuators for applications such as solar heating and water
features. Assign which circuits will activate valves A (intake) and B (return). Auxiliary valve actuators can be
controlled by any AUX circuit. Valve C is automatically assigned to solar if “Solar” is enabled in the “Solar”
menu.
5. Set up optional equipment, solar, two-speed pump (Fro Pool/Spa mode, see page 26, 31)
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 IntelliFlo 4x160 pump, and IntelliChlor chlorine generator (see page 31). To
configure SunTouch 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?
• 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?
