Check that actuator valves correctly switch between pool and spa
What to do
If it doesn’t work
Reference/Procedure
Press the
<P/S>
button
on the membrane pad so
the green light beside the
button is illuminated.
Wake up the Hand-Held
Remote Transceiver by
pushing any button.
Verify that the Hand-Held
Receiver shows “Spa” on
the LCD screen.
Verify that the Actuators
and Valves are in the SPA
position.
Press the
<P/S>
button on
the Hand-Held Receiver
and verify that the
receiver shows “Pool” on
the LCD screen.
Verify that the green light
beside the
<P/S>
button
on the membrane pad
has gone out and the
Actuators and Valves are
in the Pool position.

Verify that power is ON to
the panel
Turn the main circuit breaker that feeds the panel to the
ON position.
Use a voltmeter to verify voltage is present at the buss
terminals. See page

2.
Verify that the Actuator
cable is plugged into the
lower control board.
Retrace your wiring and verify each actuator is plugged in
properly. See page

.
Verify that the Actuator
shaft is engaged in the valve
it controls.
Tighten the screw located on the top of the actuator.
Turn the valve handle until actuator engages.
If the actuator IS NOT engaged, the handle will turn
and then engage.
If the actuator IS engaged, the handle will not turn.
DO NOT FORCE THE HANDLE TO TURN.

Verify that the ON/OFF
switch on the Actuator is
powered ON.
The Intermatic actuator has an ON/OFF switch located on
the back of the actuator. Make sure this switch is in the
AUTO ON 1 or AUTO ON 2 position, depending on your
plumbing configuration.
Verify that the Membrane
Pad works independently
of the Panel-Mounted
Transceiver.
Remove power from the system by turning off the main
breaker.
Disconnect the Panel-Mounted Transceiver from both of
the Chassis upper and lower control boards.
Reapply power. Do the Actuators work now?
If yes, reconnect Panel-Mount Transceiver and
synchronize the Hand-Held Transceiver.
If no, proceed to next step.

Verify that the Membrane
Pad is connected to both
the upper and lower control
boards.
Remove System Chassis and verify that both ribbon cables
from the membrane pad are plugged into each control
board.
Verify that the 24VAC
power is connected and
present at both upper and
lower control boards.
With a voltmeter, verify that the secondary of the
transformer is producing 24VAC to each of the upper and
lower control boards. See page
26
, Fig
5-9
. If not, replace
transformer.
