Connecting IntelliFlo VS-3050 to an EasyTouch System

The IntelliFlo can be controlled by an EasyTouch system via the RS-485 communication cable

(P/N 350122). In this configuration, EasyTouch starts, stops and controls the speed of the IntelliFlo pump. When the EasyTouch does this, it rewrites the IntelliFlo memory, which can take several seconds. This causes a delay after a command is given on the EasyTouch control panel until the IntelliFlo physically responds.

The IntelliFlo control panel is disabled when communicating with the EasyTouch system. Note that IntelliTouch will not start communicating with the IntelliFlo until the pump is assigned to a circuit. The IntelliFlo default pump address is one which is the only address that works with EasyTouch. See page 6 for details about how to check the address and change if necessary. For more information, refer to the EasyTouch User's Guide (P/N 520584).

To connect the IntelliFlo communication cable to EasyTouch load center:

1. CAUTION - Switch the main power off to the EasyTouch load center.

2.Unlatch the two enclosure door spring latches, and open the door.

3.Remove the two retaining screws securing the high voltage cover panel, and remove it from the enclosure.

4.Loosen the two access screws securing the control panel.
