IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. WARNING Water temperature in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit may be hazardous to your health. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F / 37° C.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, (CONT’D.) 1. All work must be performed by a licensed electrician, and must conform to all national, state, and local codes. 2. Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components. 3. If this device is used to control underwater lighting fixtures, a ground-fault interrupter (GFCI) must be provided for these fixtures.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS Plumb system in accordance with ‘RECOMMENDED HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC” on page 3, local codes and the following guidelines. Bring all lines back to the equipment pad. 1. Spa should be at or above the level of the pool. If spa is attached to pool, provide a dam between the two bodies of water to allow spa overflow into pool. If spa is not attached to pool, an overflow, sufficient in size to carry full pump-flow, must be installed at water level in the spa. 2.
HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS WARNING It is required that the main power into the home be switched off at the main circuit breaker box whenever the high voltage cover panel is removed. This is also required to access the low voltage raceway. LOAD CENTER Near the pool equipment pad is mounted the Load Center Foundation. When the Personality Kit control panel is added the Load Center is completed. The Load Center receives control inputs and distributes high voltage power.

PERSONALITY KIT AND EQUIPMENT PAD CONNECTIONS INSTALL CONTROL PANEL At the Load Center, remove the high voltage cover panel. Remove the outdoor control panel from separate packaging and secure to top portion of Load Center with two screws at bottom edge of control panel next to high voltage cover panel screw holes. The control panel has clearance holes to accommodate high voltage cover panel retaining screws. The control panel will now hinge out and down to facilitate low voltage connections.
INSTALL AND CONNECT TEMPERATURE SENSORS (2 INCLUDED) Water Temperature Sensor Drill 5/16 in. hole in plumbing between filter pump and filter. Insert tip of sensor into hole. Use band clamp to secure sensor to pipe. Tighten clamp just enough so o-ring begins to flatten. Do not over-tighten. Run wire through low voltage raceway to control panel, fastening to plumbing with cable ties. Cut off excess wire and strip conductors ¼ in. Connect wires to WATER screw terminals on right edge of board.
CONTROLLER INSTALLATION INDOOR CONTROL PANEL The Indoor Control Panel provides hardwired control of the IntelliTouch system from inside the home. Select a convenient location inside the house or other weather-protected area for the wall mounted controller. The width of the control panel is 5- ¾ in. 1. Four holes are required to mount the unit: three for mounting screws, and one for the communication cable. Using the template below (Figure 5), mark the wall where the mounting holes will be made.
3. The cable must be fed through the low voltage raceway of the Load Center. Strip the Sheave communication cable conductors at the Load Center ¼ in. Open the control panel and fold down to make connections. To the left of the board are the COM PORT terminal connector(s). Attach to any COM PORT terminal connector. 4. Run the cable through the house wall to the location of the Indoor Control Panel and bring a working length of the communication cable out of the wall. 5.
MOBILETOUCH CONTROLLER The MobileTouch Controller provides wireless control of the IntelliTouch system. The controller consists of a hand-held unit, recharging transformer, and transceiver antenna assembly. WARNING Do not plug in recharging transformer within five (5) feet of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require a minimum of (3) meters from pool water. Do not recharge outdoors. CAUTION The hand-held unit is NOT intended to be submersible. Remove unit immediately if dropped in water.
Transceiver The transceiver should be mounted at a convenient location (on a flat vertical surface) a minimum of 5 ft. above ground level to optimize the functional range of the hand-held unit. See Figure 9 for major features. CAUTION The transceiver should be mounted a minimum of 8 to 10 feet away from any air blower, which may be part of the equipment set. The transceiver will not operate properly if it is close to a blower that is operating. 1.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION VIRTUAL CABLE The Virtual Cable accessory kit gives wireless communication capability to an Indoor Control Panel for installations where hardwired control is not feasible. This unit may be operated with any other IntelliTouch controller accessory. Before installation, the Load Center, Personality Kit and Indoor Control Panel must be obtained separately.
INSTALL 4-FUNCTION SPA-SIDE REMOTE CONTROL The iS4 may be used in conjunction with IntelliTouch Control Systems to provide remote switching of four control circuits from the spa location. It is typically used for activating spa circulation and three auxiliary pieces of equipment (such as lights, jet pump, air blower, etc.). The red LED status light comes on steady in Spa mode and flashes while heating. Location The iS4 spa-side remote is a double-insulated, waterproof device that is UL-listed (to UL 1563).
Acrylic Spa Or Hot-Tub Application Obtain optional Spa Wall Mounting Adapter and lock-nut (P/N SSADP). Drill 1-5/8 in. dia. hole in wall of spa or hot-tub. Insert Spa Wall Mounting Adapter, and use lock-nut on external surface of wall to secure Spa Wall Mounting Adapter into place. See Figure 14. Glue ½ in. PVC conduit directly into back of the Spa Wall Mounting Adapter and run conduit to the Load Center. Use sweep elbows for turns.
Spa Wall Mounting Adapter Remote Lock-nut ½ in. PVC Conduit iS4 Mounting Adapter Figure 14. Upgrade For SS4 Application Remove existing SS4 making note of function and button color. Orient iS4 Mounting Adapter to optimize usage by spa occupant per Figure 13. Bond iS4 Mounting Adapter provided over existing Mounting Adapter using caulking or RTV. Run spa-side remote cable through conduit to Load Center. See Figure 15. Use the color call-out description on back of remote to wire unit.
