Section 1
Overview
SunTouch® Control System Overview
Congratulations! On your purchase of the Pentair Aquatic Systems SunTouch® Control System - The next
generation in intelligent pool and spa control systems. The SunTouch Control System quick-access menus
helps you to setup control of your pool and spa daily operations. Your system can be easily configured to
operate in “Solar Only” mode for solar systems, “Pool/Spa” mode for shared equipment systems or “Single
Body of Water” mode for single equipment systems.
The SunTouch Control System supports the IntelliChem® Chemistry Controller, IntelliChlor® Salt Chlorine
Generator (SCG), for pool water sanitizing and IntelliFlo® Variable Speed (VS) and IntelliFlo® Variable Flow
(VF) Pump to meet all your pool and spa needs. For a complete list of the SunTouch Control System and
optional equipment, see to page 43.
Solar Mode
The SunTouch Control System Solar Mode provides automatic solar heating control using a differential
temperature control designed especially for solar-heated swimming pool, spas, and hot tubs. Also included is
solar nocturnal cooling control for optimizing heat control at night. Whenever solar energy is available, The
SunTouch Control System will automatically activate a motorized three-port solar valve and/or the optional
solar booster pump which controls the water flow direction, and pump pool water through the solar collectors.
The filter pump timer can be set so the filter pump is operating during that time of the day when solar energy
is available.
If you are using a pool cleaner booster pump for your pool, the SunTouch Control System will disable the
pump for five minutes whenever the solar system turns on. This protects the pump from possible damage
caused by residual air within the solar panels.
Note: For information about setting up and operating the SunTouch Control System as a solar only
system, see page 5.
Pool/Spa Mode
The SunTouch Control System Pool/Spa Mode provides automation controls for pool and spa shared
equipment systems or for pool only or spa only “Single Body” systems. With the addition of two valve
actuators, The SunTouch Control System can be configured to control your pool and spa heating and filtration
schedules and additional features such as pool lights, automatic cleaners, or waterfalls.
Using the optional QuickTouch® (QT4) Wireless Remote controller you can control up to four circuits to
activate the spa circulation, and for operating three auxiliary pieces of equipment (such as lights, jet pump,
air blower, waterfall, etc.). For more information, see “Main Menu: QuickTouch (QT4) Wireless Remote,” on
page 28.

Pool/Spa Mode Menus

The following describes the 14 “Pool/Spa mode” menus. Displayed on the Main Menu screen is the menu
description and the menu number (1/14).
Circuit On/Off Menu (1/14)
Use the “Circuit On/Off” menu feature to manually switch ON/OFF the pool filter pump, auxiliary
circuits (AUX 1-3) and feature circuits (FT. 1-4). Switching circuits on or off will override any
programmed schedules that might already be assigned to these circuits. For more information about schedules,
see “Schedules Menu” on page 17.
POOL FILTER PUMP ON/OFF: Use the “Circuit On/Off” Pool setting, to manually switch the pool filter
pump relay on or off. When the pool filter pump switched on, the valve actuator will rotate to isolate the pool
water from the spa water, and switch the heater on (if enabled in the “Heat” menu). When this circuit relay
is switched on manually, it remains on until either you switch it off manually or the default 12 hours has
elapsed. The system default 12 hours can be changed from 1 to 23 hours (see “Circuit Timeout” page 24).
For example, if the filter pump is scheduled to automatically run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, then the
filter pump is switched on manually at 9:00 PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00 PM then
switch off. The schedule will then continue from then on. The top display line on the main status screen will
alternately display the current water temperature and the current air temperature (if the air sensor is enable,
see page 24 for details). If the pool filter pump is on, and the spa is switched on using the Up arrow button,
the main status screen will alternately display the current water temperature between “Pool” and “Spa” mode.

HI-TEMP (Up Arrow button)

For SunTouch® Control System single body systems (pool only or spa only, see page 36), the HI-TEMP (UP
arrow button) is used to switch the heater (regardless of the Heat menu setting) and filter pump on and off.
Typically this circuit is used with the “Manual Heat” feature (see below) for on-demand spa water heat. The
heat temperature settings are displayed on the main screen. The heater is active when the set temperature is
higher than the water temperature. The heater will switch off when the water temperature rises above the set
temperature.
LO-TEMP (Spa) Menu Operation

The LO-TEMP on and off control is made from the Heat menu setting. For SunTouch® Control System
single body systems (pool only or spa only, see page 36), the LO-TEMP menu setting is used to switch on
and off the heat source and filter pump. A heat selection must be selected in the Heat menu before the heater
is activated. The “Manual Heat” setting does not function with the LO-TEMP circuit. The heater is active
when the set temperature is higher than the water temperature. The heater will switch off when the water
temperature rises above the set temperature.
MANUAL HEAT (Off/On)
By default, the spa Manual Heat feature is always set to “ON.” This allows the spa to begin to heat whenever
the SPA, Up arrow button is pressed, regardless of the heat source setting in the Heat menu (see page 4).
This feature allows the spa to be filtered daily with the heater switched off. The optional QuickTouch® QT4
Wireless Remote can also be used to switch the spa heater on. This feature will not work for solar systems,
only gas and electric heaters.

Delay Cancel Menu (3/14)

Use the Delay Cancel feature for service or testing purposes. Normally, there is no need to cancel any of the
following delays except for servicing or testing the system. For convenience, on a onetime basis, the Delay
Cancel feature will cancel the following safety delays.
• Heater Cool-Down Delay Cancel: Shuts Filter Pump off immediately.

• 2-Speed Filter Pump five-minute START on HIGH SPEED Delay Cancel: Shifts pump to low
speed.
• Automatic Pool Cleaner START Delay: Starts Cleaner Pump immediately, without normal delay in
which the filter pump first runs for 5 minutes.
• Automatic Pool Cleaner SOLAR Delay: Allows Cleaner Pump to run even though solar delay has
shut it off for 5 minutes.
Some heaters require a cool-down cycle before being switched off. This can be setup in the menu to run the
filter pump an additional ten minutes to dissipate residual heat built up inside the heater combustion chamber.
The Delay Cancel feature is mainly for use by service technicians when it’s necessary to shut the filter pump
off immediately, and know the heater has not been running. Heaters manufactured by Pentair do not require
this cool-down period and do not need the delay to be set up.

Schedules Menu (4/14) (Continued)

Schedule your Spa or Pool
You can set a daily start and stop time to switch the filter pump on and rotate the pool or spa valves into
the “Spa” or “Pool” position. The heater will automatically heat the spa or pool water up to the set point
temperature as set in the “Heat” menu (see page 14). If the pool has a separate jet pump or blower controlled
by AUX 1 and/or AUX 2 , these need to be scheduled separately. You can also program when to filter and heat
your pool, and switch light or auxiliary circuits on or off.
You can create schedules to automatically run equipment like pool filtration or lights. Any circuit can be set
to switch on and off on every day of the week. When a relay is switched on manually, it remains on until
you either switch it off manually, or the next time the relay is scheduled to be switched off. For example, if
the filter pump or any circuit is scheduled to run from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and the programmed schedule
is turned OFF at 1:00 PM and then turned on at 1:10 PM, the circuit will turn OFF at its programmed OFF
time of 4:00 PM. But if the circuit is turned on after 4:00 PM, the factory set Egg Timer of 12 hours is now
engaged. So if the circuit was turned on at 6:00 PM that circuit will turn off at 6:00 AM (12 hours later). If
the circuit was turned ON at 5:00 PM and because a programmed OFF time had been set to turn off at 4:00
PM, the circuit would operate for 11 hours. A spa or pool program can be overridden using the Spa button (Up
arrow) or switch the Circuit On/Off pool filter pump on in the Circuit On/Off menu (see page 13).

NOCTURNAL COOLING: The transfer of solar heat to water occurs during the day when the BTU’s
(heat) is harvested from the solar collector, then hot water is transferred into the swimming pool. When the
pool water goes through the collector at night, in some climates as long as the night time air is cooler than
the swimming pool water, the water will cool off. This transfer of heat to the night air to cool the water is
referred to a “nocturnal cooling” or occurring during the night hours. This process is opposite to what occurs
during the day time hours to generate heat from the sun. The solar collector is similar to a car radiator, in that
cool air on the surface of the solar collector is used to cool the water off.

21
Valves Menu (7/14)

The valves feature allows you assign a circuit to the extra valve output (Valve C) on the SunTouch® Control
System motherboard. The SunTouch Control System can drive the auxiliary valve actuator for applications
such as solar heating and water features and for freeze protection. By assigning any one of the auxiliary (AUX
1, AUX 2, AUX 3, FEATURE 1 - 4) circuits to control the valve actuator, you can conserve auxiliary circuits
for high voltage relays for controlling pumps and lights.
Note: When solar heating is enabled in the “Solar” menu (see page 20) and is not configured as a heat pump,
Valve C is dedicated for controlling the solar heating valve actuator. Also, only “USED SOLAR” is displayed
when solar is enabled. To select other circuits (AUX 1, AUX 2, FEATURE 1 - 4, etc.) solar must be switched
off.

Advanced Menu (8/14): Calibrate Water, Air and Solar Sensors

The SunTouch® Control System includes two temperature sensors for monitoring water and ambient air
temperature. An additional air sensor for controlling solar heating systems can also be installed for solar
systems. Generally, these sensors are accurate and do not require calibration. However, long plumbing runs
and water features can cause temperatures at a body of water to be different from the temperature sensor
reading. You can manually recalibrate the sensors to adjust for this. You only need to calibrate one body of
water, since the temperature sensor is common to both the pool and spa.
CALIBRATION
Before you start, you’ll need an accurate all weather thermometer. When calibrating the air sensor, wait until
the sensor is not in direct sunlight. For the air temperature sensor, make sure that the sensor is located in the
shade for accurate readings.
To calibrate the water temperature sensor:

Circuit Functions Menu (10/14)

Assigning Circuit Functions
From the Circuit Functions menu you can assign special logic to the auxiliary relay circuits AUX 1 and
AUX 2. For example, when setting up an automatic pool cleaner pump, you could assign AUX 1 the circuit
function FLOOR CLEANER. With this “Cleaner” logic the cleaner pump would force the filter pump on, and
the cleaner pump would start after a delay of five minutes. The cleaner pump would automatically shut off
whenever the spa and/or solar is switched on.
Using AUX 3 circuit: The AUX 3 circuit connector on the SunTouch® Control System motherboard cannot be
connected to a dedicated relay, however, it can be used as an extra assignment to control an electric heater or
pump speeds. For example, AUX 3 can be assigned to control the high speed function of a 2-Speed pump, one
of the four speeds of the IntelliFlo VS Pump or the flow rate (GPM) for the IntelliFlo® VF Pump. The pump
speed control can be selected/activated via a scheduled program or switched on/off manually. Also, If VLV C
is not enabled for solar, an additional pump could be connected to VLV C for a waterfall feature and AUX 3
could be assigned to control the valve actuator to divert water for the waterfall feature.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection switches on a circuit if the outside air temperature sensor detects the temperature is getting
close to freezing (below 36° F). The system will switch on the circuits that have been assigned freeze
protection, and runs the circuits for every 15 minutes to stop the pipes from freezing. For pool and spa
combination the valves will rotate between the pool and spa. During this process the cleaner will be switched
off. This is especially important if there is a pool and spa combination. If freeze protection is set to both the
spa and pool circuits, the filter pump (and booster pump if installed) switches on and the pool and spa valves
alternate every 15 minutes to keep the water moving in both the pool and spa. This process continues until the
freeze condition is over.

- Forces the filter pump on 5 minutes before the cleaner pump switches on.
- Switch the cleaner off when the spa is on.
- Switch the cleaner off for 5 minutes when the solar heating begins.
Floor Cleaner This setting moves a 3-way valve every 20 minutes alternating flow between two
cleaner system valves that feed the pop-up heads.
Spillway For pool/spa combinations where the spa is raised above the pool. This setting
moves the return valve so that the filter pump pulls the water from the pool and re-
turns it to the spa, creating a water fall effect. Automatic pool cleaners are turned off
when this feature is turned on.

pump, or assign up to eight speeds and circuits for the IntelliFlo® VS and VF Pumps. The SunTouch® control
system can be setup to operate either one IntelliFlo VS or one IntelliFlo VF pump. The SunTouch® Control
System communicates with the IntelliFlo VS and the IntelliFlo VF pump via a two-wire RS-485 cable. For
information about connecting the RS-485 communication cable from SunTouch control system Power Center
to the IntelliFlo pump, refer to the IntelliFlo VS Pump Installation and User’s Guide (P/N 357269).
SINGLE SPEED FILTER PUMP

For a single-speed pump there are no assigned pump circuits. The pool filter pump schedule program
determines when the pump is switched on and off. If the heat source is enabled in the “Heat” menu (see page
14), when the pool or spa circuit is activated the selected heat source is also enabled. The default time before
the filter pump will switch off is 12 hours. If the pool/spa circuit is switched off and the heater is operating,
only the heater will turn off, then the filter pump will automatically switch off after 10 minutes to allow the
heater to cool down. Pentair Aquatic Systems heaters do not require a cool down time. To override the “heater

IntelliFlo® VS Pump
Connecting power to an IntelliFlo® Pump
The IntelliFlo® Pump is designed to be permanently connected to its power source. Typically the pump receives
power directly from the circuit breaker. No contactor or motor starter is required. The drive controls the starting
and stopping of the pump. If the IntelliFlo Pump is connected to an automation system, such as the SunTouch®
Control System, the drive must be powered up to receive and respond to the RS-485 serial communication from
the automation system. However, the pump can be operated in “stand-alone” mode, starting and stopping when
power is applied or removed. When the drive powers up it will return to the mode and run status that it was in
when power was removed. This setup maybe appropriate if you need to use existing relays or timers.
Assigning an IntelliFlo® VS 3050 Pump address
Before assigning a pump address in the IntelliTouch® Control
System indoor control panel, first set the address on the pump
itself. If there is only one pump, it is always seen as pump #1 by
the IntelliTouch® Control System. In this case you do not need IntelliFlo® VS 3050 Pump Speed buttons
to set the pump address. When using multiple IntelliFlo VS
3050 pumps with IntelliTouch Control System you need to assign an address to each pump. The
address can be set to #1, #2, #3, or #4. The address set at the pump must match the IntelliFlo
Pump number selected in the IntelliTouch® Control System Indoor Control Panel.
To assign an IntelliFlo VS 3050 pump address:
1. Be sure that the pump is powered on and the green power LED is on.
2. Press the Stop buttons to stop the pump.
3. Press and hold both the Start and Stop buttons until the red LED will starts flashing, then
press one of the four speed buttons (1-4) to select which address to assign the pump. For
example, if you are assigning the pump as pump #1, then press Speed button number 1.
4. Press and hold both the Start and Stop buttons to save the address. Repeat the process for
the other pumps.
NOTE: INTELLIFLO PUMP IN “SERVICE MODE” - IntelliFlo pumps will STOP when IntelliTouch Control System
is in ‘Service” mode.
NOTE: INTELLIFLO PUMP “FREEZE” PROTECTION - If the IntelliFlo Pump is on due to a freeze condition (not
switch on from a relay circuit), and if a freeze speed is set in SunTouch Control System, this setting takes priority
even if the previous setting is lower than the default circuit speed. If no “freeze” protection is set, the pump will be
forced on at the default circuit speed. Any programmed or manual operation that actually switches on a circuit, will
cause the pump to run at that speed if it is higher.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If the outside
air temperature sensor falls below 36° F (2° C), freeze protection is activated and the pool/spa filter
pump relay is switched on to circulate the pool water. To enable freeze protection for a circuit, see
page 26. In order to use the SunTouch Control System freeze protection function, an optional sensor
is required to monitor the air temperature. To enable freeze protection and display the outside air
temperature on the main screen, the “AIR SENSOR” must be enabled (see Advanced Menu 8/14 on
page 24). Freeze protection is enabled whenever the outside temperature is 36º F or lower. When
freezing conditions are detected by the air sensor, SunTouch will switch the filter pump on and
circulate pool water continuously through the pool and spa. For SunTouch Control System “solar
only” systems, the optional air sensor and an additional time clock connected to the filter pump is
required for freeze protection. Note: If multiple AUX circuits are set to ON, when freeze is active, the
circuit will run the pump at the highest assigned speed of the active circuit.

About Super Chlorination: The Super Chlorination feature is used to introduce large amounts of chlorine
into the pool water if there has been heavy rain fall, many bathers in the pool, cloudy water conditions, etc.
When Super Chlorination is enabled, the system will switch on the filter pump, set the pool/spa valves to the
correct position, and set the IntelliChlor (SCG) to maximum output. This process continues for 24 hours.
At the end of the Super Chlorination process, the system will return to normal operation. It is possible to
manually stop the Super Chlorination process and switch off the filter pump in the “Circuit On/Off” menu
(see page 13). When the filter pump is switched on again, the Super Chlorine process will resume for the
duration of time that is left.

Plumbing Requirements
It is important that the pool and spa plumbing system be in accordance with local codes and the
Recommended Hydraulic Schematics. Before starting, please review the diagrams and the following
recommended guidelines:
1 The spa should be at or above the level of the pool.
2 If the spa is attached to the pool, provide a dam between the two bodies of water to allow the spa to
overflow into the pool. If the spa is not attached to the pool, an overflow, sufficient in size to carry a full
pump-flow, must be installed at the water level in the spa.
3 Plumb a three-port Intake Valve (VLV A) on the suction-side of the filter pump, so that the center port of
the valve is connected to the pump inlet. Connect the spa suction to one side of the Intake Valve, and the
pool suction to the other side.
4 Plumb a three-port Return Valve (VLV B) on the return-side of the heater, so that the return water will
enter the valve through the center port.
Connect the spa return to one side of Return Valve, and the pool return to the other side.
5 If required, install a spa makeup line (consisting of a manual gate or ball valve, for elevated spas install a
check valve) to bypass the pool return line. This will enable some of the chemically-balanced water from
the pool to cycle through the spa. The manual valve will allow the amount of bypass to be adjusted.
6 For systems which incorporate a skimmer, it is possible to balance the amount of suction between the
skimmer and main drain for maintenance purposes. This is easily accomplished by installing a manual
three-port mixing valve at the suction line. Plumb one port to the skimmer and the other to the main drain.
7 If a “non-booster pump” pressure-side pool cleaner is being used, plumb a manual three-port valve
between the filter pump and filter, with the third port plumbed to the pool cleaner line, and install a
motorized two-port Pool Cleaner Valve at this line. The motorized valve will automatically open
whenever the SunTouch activates the pool cleaner.
If a booster pump pool cleaner is being used, plumb the booster pump so that its suction-side is connected
to the pool return, after the heater, and as close to the ground as practical.

47
8 Plumb the solar feed and return lines between the filter and the heater. Install a three-port valve at the feed
line. Use a solar valve (P/N 263047)), to allow automatic draining of the panels.
9 A solar booster pump should be used when the distance to the panels exceed 200 ft., or the panels are
elevated higher than 25 ft.
10 Glazed solar panels require a drain valve to allow draining of the panels. This prevents damage from
overheating water. Install a drain valve at the solar feed line and connect to the pool fill line.
Equipment Location
All equipment, with the exception of the spa-side remote, must be located at least 10 ft. from the water’s edge.

Solar Hydraulics System

Plumb the SunTouch® Control System solar system in accordance with recommended hydraulics shown
below.
• 2” diameter plumbing is advised to ensure maximum flow of water through the solar panels. A solar
booster pump should be added if panels are installed at a very high elevation.
• It is recommended that the solar panels are mounted in a way that gravity will allow draining
whenever the filter pump is not on.
• For systems with glazed panels, damage can occur from overheating if the filter pump is still
running after the solar has turned off. To enable glazed panels to automatically drain whenever the
solar turns off (even if the filter pump is still running), a 1/2” motorized solar drain valve should be

with all national, state, and local codes.
• Install the SunTouch Control System Power Center no less than five (5) feet from pool or spa near to
the pumps, heater, valves, and sensors. Mount the Power Center outside or inside a pool equipment
house or other enclosure.
• Before choosing the final location for the SunTouch Control System Power Center, consider the
length of the wires and valve wires that have to be connected to the enclosure. Make sure to consider
cable lengths for the sensors to the SunTouch Power Center location. The air temperature sensor
cable is 3 feet long and the water temperature sensor is 20 feet long.
• Mount the SunTouch Control System Power Center on a flat vertical surface or wall so that the
conduit knockouts are located at the bottom of the enclosure. Upper and lower brackets are provided
to mount the Power Center to a vertical surface.
• DO NOT mount the SunTouch Control System Power Center horizontally. Water can enter the
conduit knockouts and cause damage to the system and an electrical shock hazard.
• Consider the SunTouch Control System Power Center location when routing the conduit carrying
the AC power to the SunTouch Power Center, and the conduit that will be run to the high voltage
equipment.
• All the SunTouch Control System high voltage double pole relays and are rated at 3HP/30A at 240
VAC (1˝ HP/30A at 120 VAC).
• Install the SunTouch Control System Power Center so that drainage is provided for all electrical

SunTouch® Control System Solar System Installation

• To ensure maximum flow of water through the solar panels, a solar booster pump should be added if
panels are installed at a very high elevation.
• It is recommended that the solar panels are mounted in a way that gravity will allow draining
whenever the filter pump is not on.
• For systems with glazed panels, damage can occur from overheating if the filter pump is still
running after the solar has turned off. To enable glazed panels to automatically drain whenever the
solar turns off (even if the filter pump is still running), a 1/2” motorized solar drain valve should be
plumbed from the solar feed line, through a check valve, to a zero psi point (such as pool fill line or
jet air intake).
SunTouch® Control System Solar System Start-Up

1. Switch power on to the SunTouch® Control System Power Center.
2. If pool cleaner protection has been added to the system, the pool cleaner pump motor should be
activated whenever the pool cleaner timer is on. Momentarily turn pool cleaner on and off to check
the motor is operating correctly.
3. Check that Solar Valve is in “solar bypass” position, diverting water away from solar panels. If
Solar Valve is staged incorrectly (diverting water to the solar panels), reverse switch on back of
Valve Actuator (change from ON1 to ON2, or vice-versa). The Valve Actuator will automatically
rotate to the correct position.
4. Check that Solar Valve has rotated from the “solar bypass” position to the “solar” position, diverting
water through the solar panels.
5. The system is now ready to be operated as desired.
Pool Cleaner Protection

Recommended for use in pool systems which utilize a “booster pump” pool cleaner. This feature
automatically turns off the pool cleaner pump for a few minutes whenever solar is initiated. This will protect
the pump from damage caused by air in the solar panels at system start-up.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Use the following troubleshooting information to help resolve problems that may occur when using the
SunTouch® Control System. If by following the recommended actions you are still unable to resolve the
problems, please contact Technical Support (see page vi).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I setup a two-speed pump?
A two-speed pump operates using two relays and one or more circuits. The first relay turns the pump on or
off. Assuming this is a filter pump, this circuit is controlled by the pool and spa circuits or any other circuit
that may be tied to the filter pump (such as circuits with freeze protection, etc.). The second relay (AUX 2)
switches the pump from low speed to high speed. The default condition is low speed. Up to three circuits
may be assigned to trigger the pump to high speed. However, if three relays are being used, two relays must
be located outside the SunTouch Control System enclosure. The SunTouch Control System enclosure which
houses two relays. Note: These circuits do not switch the pump on.
To configure a two-speed pump relay, refer to “Settings Menu: 2-Speed Pump,” on page 29. For relay location
and wiring (see page 53). The 2-Speed pump relay connector is plugged into the AUX 3 output socket on the
SunTouch Control System motherboard.
Can I switch the heater on and change the temperature from the spa?
The heater may be switched on from the spa location using the QuickTouch® Wireless Remote (optional), see
page 28 for setup details.
How do I switch on solar heating?
The system must first be configured for solar heating. Go to the “Heat” menu (see page 14) and enable “Solar”
as the heat source. Note: Do not select “Heat Pump” as the solar heating method.

Problem Solving a Solar System

SunTouch® Control System solar is not operating
Verify the circuit breaker at sub-panel is not tripped. If the 3 AMP Circuit Breaker on the on the SunTouch®
Control System is tripped, it is most often due to a defective Circuit Board or Valve Actuator. Try
disconnecting each one separately to determine which one is at fault.
Solar will only operate when the solar temperature is 6° warmer than the water temperature.
Inspect the appropriate sensor cable and wire connections and replace the appropriate temperature sensor if
necessary. An ohm meter can be used to take a reading of the sensors. See table on page 68.
If the temperature sensors are not at fault, replace the SunTouch Control System circuit board.
Water flow to panels switch does not operate the valve actuator
If the valve actuator does not operate when using the WATER FLOW TO PANELS Switch (sliding switch
between ON and OFF), either the valve actuator or the SunTouch circuit board is at fault.
First verify that the toggle switch located on the valve actuator is either in the ON1 or ON2 position.
With a voltmeter, check the output voltage of the VLV1 socket located on the SunTouch Control System
circuit board. When the WATER FLOW TO PANELS Switch is in the OFF position, the top and middle pins
should read 24 VAC. When the WATER FLOW TO PANELS switch is in the ON position, the top and bottom
pins should read
24 VAC.
If voltage readings are correct, replace the valve actuator. If voltage readings are incorrect, replace the
SunTouch Control System circuit board.
Checking The Temperature Sensors
Disconnect temperature Sensor wires from the SunTouch Control System circuit board, and test sensor using
an ohm meter. See table on page 66.
Testing the Solar System

To test the SunTouch Control System in “SOLAR ONLY” mode: Set the “System Control” menu setting to
“SOLAR ON” verify the valve(s) are in the solar position. Then set the menu setting to “SOLAR OFF”
and verify the valve is in the normal recirculating pool position. If the valve(s) positions are working in
reverse, toggle the valve switches and test again.
Air Sensor ERROR

If after enabling the optional air sensor (see page 24) the main screen displays AIR Error or Solar
Sensor ERR, this indicates the solar sensor is not connected or it is out of range. Check that the sensor
is connected correctly to connector J9 on the SunTouch Control System motherboard (see page 53).

71
Temperature vs. Resistance Data

The SunTouch® Control System use 10k Ohm thermistor sensors. When the solar sensor is disconnected
from the SunTouch Control System, the sensor will read 10k Ohm at 77º F (25ºC). Refer to the
following table for the resistance at other temperatures. An accurate reading should give a temperature
setting that is accurate
