Setting up the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System for the First Time
Use the following steps if you are setting up the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System for the first time.
Note: The following setup steps assume that the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System Power Center is
installed at the equipment pad and ready for operation. For more information see the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4
Control System Power Center installation instructions (P/N 520583).
The recommended first time installation steps for the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System are:
1. Set the system date and time (page 34)
Set the current date and time.
2. Assign circuit names (pages 42)
Assign the generic default circuit names for output auxiliary equipment. Rename (if necessary) and assign
circuit names to the auxiliary (AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX3) connections. Note the factory set auxiliary names
correspond to the plug-in location of the relay on the motherboard. You can assign circuit names from the
available of circuit names. There are nearly 100 circuit names available (see page 43 for the complete list).
3. Create custom names for auxiliary circuits (page 46)
If you cannot find a circuit name that fits your application you can create up to 10 additional customized names
that can be created before assigning circuit names.
4. Assign a “Circuit Function” to a “Circuit Name” (Page 44)
Assign “Circuit Functions” (1-7) to the auxiliary circuit names you created in Step 3 above. From the Circuit
Function
menu, you can assign special logic to a circuit by selecting one of the available circuit functions. For
the complete list of preset Circuit Functions. If an auxiliary circuit (AUX) is assigned GENERIC (simple ON/
OFF when the button is pushed) then nothing needs to be done.
5. Create “Feature Circuits” to conserve relays (page 23)
If you need to conserve physical auxiliary Power Center relays, there are two (2) Feature Circuits available
that you can assign to circuit functions. Feature Circuits are manually turned on or off from the control panel
“Feature Circuits” menu.
6.
Configure valve actuators (controlled by AUX circuit) (page 46)
The EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control System can drive one auxiliary valve actuators for applications such
as solar heating and water features. Assign which circuits that will activate valves A and B. Auxiliary valve
actuators can be controlled by any AUX circuit. Valve A is automatically assigned to solar if “Solar” is enabled
in the “Solar” menu. Tip: Use a “Feature Circuit” to control a valve actuator (see page 23).
7. Set up optional equipment, solar, two-speed pump (page 47)
Set up additional equipment such as solar, 2-speed pump, and optional equipment if required. Set up the
control panel to operate with the optional IntelliChlor
®
Salt Chlorine Generator (see page 38 and IntelliChem
®
Controller (see page 39). To configure the system for special equipment:
•
Is solar heating available? Is solar being used for a heat pump?
•
What circuits will turn 2-Speed pumps to High Speed?
•
Is there a heat pump (UltraTemp
®
Heat Pump) being used?
•
Is there an IntelliChlor
®
SCG installed?
•
Is there an IntelliChem
®
Controller installed?
•
Cool-down cycle for the heater - Lets you set circuits that switch the filter pump to high speed.
•
Do you want to delay turning off the filter pump for 10 minutes when the heater is turned off?
•
Do you want the spa to heat whenever the Spa button is pressed?
