Relay connectors - 

FLTR PUMP

 - 

AUX1 - AUX7 (EasyTouch 8), AUX1 - AUX3

(EasyTouch 4)

Temperature sensors connectors 

WATER, SOLAR, AIR

Transformer wire harness 

(J1) 

attached to the motherboard.

Heater control connector 

ELEC HTR 

or two-wire screw terminal.

Refer to Summary Installation Steps (page 2) and EasyTouch System Wiring Diagrams, on page 23.

EasyTouch System Test

The following describes how to test the main control panel to activate the heater, valves and pumps.
Before testing the system, be sure that all pool and spa equipment has been properly installed and
connected to the EasyTouch load center.

Testing Valve Actuators and Filter Pump

Use the following steps to test the valve actuators (CVA24T) for proper rotation.

To test the valve actuators and pump:

1. Power up the EasyTouch load center.

2. Press the 

Mode 

button on the main control panel. The display shows “SERVICE”.

3. Press the 

Valve (V)

 button to select 

POOL.

4. Press the 

Filter Pump (F)

 button to activate the filter pump.  Water will be removed from the

pool and returned to the pool.

4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 selecting 

Fill (Spillway)

 then 

Drain

.

5. Set both valve actuators (CVA-24T) for suction and return. Use the toggle switch on the rear

of the CVA-24T to withdraw and return water from the pool.

Note:  

With the filter pump operating, if the water is not being removed and returned to the

pool, check that the valve actuator plugs are connected correctly on the motherboard.

Testing the auxiliary relays

Affix the auxiliary relay labels to the appropriate AUX buttons on the EasyTouch control panel to
identify the connected equipment.

Press the 

Mode

 button to enable “Service” pool mode. Press the Filter Pump button (LED

on) and each auxiliary (AUX) circuit button, the Heater and Solar buttons to verify the
functions. Press the 

Mode

 button twice to return the system to 

“AUTO”

 mode when done.
