Control System Installation and User’s Guide
Glossary
Control Panel: The five button controller with LCD (liquid crystal display) is connected to the SunTouch
®
Control System motherboard located in the Power Center.
High Voltage Compartment: The high voltage compartment in the SunTouch Control System Power Center
for the transformer.
IntelliChlor
®
Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG): Electronic salt chlorinator. Uses a process known as
electrolysis to produce sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) from a low concentration of salt added to the pool/
spa water. See IntelliChlor (SCG) menu features on page 33. The IntelliChlor (SCG) models are:
• IC15 Cell (P/N 520888): Designed for pools up to 15,000 U.S. gallons (56,000 cubic meters). The
cell will produce the equivalent of 0.60 pounds of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool
pump runtime.
• IC20 Cell (P/N 520554): Designed for pools up to 20,000 U.S. gallons (75,000 liters). The cell will
produce the equivalent of 0.70 lbs. of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool pump run time.
• IC40 Cell (P/N 520555): Designed for pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (150,000 liters). The cell will
produce the equivalent of 1.40 lbs. of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool pump run time.
• IC60 Cell (P/N 521105): Designed for pools up to 60,000 U.S. gallons (227,124 liters). The cell will
produce the equivalent of 2 lbs. of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool pump run time.
Low Voltage Compartment: Top compartment of SunTouch Control System Power Center for low voltage
wiring.
Low Voltage Raceway: Vertical space in the left side of SunTouch Control System Power Center for low
voltage wires.
Motherboard: The SunTouch Control System circuit board mounted behind the control panel.
Power Center: Plastic enclosure for housing the SunTouch Control System power relays, transformer, and
circuit breakers. Used for distributing power for controlling the SunTouch Control System.
Relay: A low-powered device used to activate a high-powered device. SunTouch Control System relays are
used to activate equipment such as pumps, and lights. Relays connect to the SunTouch Control System
motherboard. A maximum of three relays can be installed the SunTouch Control System motherboard.
Screw Terminal Connector: Removable connector that may attach to SunTouch Control System
motherboard circuit board with multiple sockets (anywhere from 2 to 6) to receive wires from controllers and
sensors; wires held by screw terminals; multiple wires of a small enough gauge (usually 22 AWG) may be
coupled to a single socket of a terminal connector.
Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG): Automated pool chlorinator that sanitizes using salt water (see IntelliChlor
(SCG) menu features on page 33).
Solar Pool Heater: Solar pool/spa systems are low cost, simple and relatively inexpensive. Pool water
pumped through unglazed plastic panels (collectors) produces water heated by the sun. The pool itself is
the thermal storage for the system, and the pool filter pump circulates water through the solar collectors.
SunTouch Control System supports differential temperature control which also includes solar nocturnal
cooling control for optimizing heat control at night (see page 4 and 19.
Transceiver:
Used by the QuickTouch
®
Wireless Remote. Circuit board with attached antenna that sends
radio frequency (wireless) transmissions.
