System Test
Follow the steps below to test the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System control panel to activate the heater,
valves and pumps. This test assumes that all system equipment has been properly installed and connected to
the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System Power Center.
Testing Valve Actuators and Pumps:
Use the following steps to test the valve actuators (CVA24T) for proper rotation.
To test the valve actuators and pump:
1. Switch on the electrical power at the house breaker.
2. Switch on the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System Power Center. You may need to switch on the
breakers on the Power Center.
3. Press the
Mode
button to enable “Service” mode.
4. Press the
Valve (V)
button to select “Pool” mode.
5. Press the
Filter Pump (F)
button to activate the filter pump. Water will be removed from the pool
and returned to the pool. A spa bypass line divert a small amount of water to the spa. Make sure
the filter pump turns on correctly. If the pump has two speeds: Press the button one time to run the
pump in low speed. Press the button again to run the pump in high speed. Press the button again to
switch the pump off. A Two-Speed pump has to be configured in the 2-Speed menu (see page 46).
6. 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.
7. Press the
Valves (V)
button. Step through all four valve positions: Pool, Spa, Fill, Drain. Make sure
the valves turn on correctly and the water is moving in the correct direction for each position. If
necessary, flip the actuator toggle switch to change the direction of the water.
Note:
With the filter pump operating, if water is not being removed and returned to the pool, it may
be necessary to reverse the
RETURN
with
VLV A
(or
VLV B
) plugs on the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4
Control System main circuit board.
Testing the Auxiliary Relays
Affix the auxiliary relay labels to the appropriate buttons on the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System
Outdoor panel and/or the Indoor Control Panel. If necessary, write the function on the control panel.
1. Step through the rest of the auxiliary buttons. Notice which button turns on which equipment. You
may need to walk the property to find what each button turns on.
2. Write down what each button switches on, including the number of the circuit. You need this
information when you set up the Indoor Control Panel.
3. Label the circuit buttons on the outdoor control panel and the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Indoor Control
Panel.
