SunTouch® - Pentair

Valves Menu (7/14)
The valves feature allows you assign a circuit to the extra valve output (Valve C) on the SunTouch
motherboard. The SunTouch system can drive the auxiliary valve actuator for applications such as solar
heating and water features and for freeze protection. By assigning any one of the auxiliary (AUX 1, AUX 2,
AUX 3, FEATURE 1 - 4) circuits to control the valve actuator, you can conserve auxiliary circuits for high
voltage relays for controlling pumps and lights.
Note: When solar heating is enabled in the “Solar” menu (see page 20) and is not configured as a heat
pump, Valve C is dedicated for controlling the solar heating valve actuator. Also, only “USED SOLAR”
is displayed when solar is enabled. To select other circuits (AUX 1, AUX 2, FEATURE 1 - 4, etc.) solar
must be switched off.
VALVE CIRCUIT
To assign a circuit to Valve C:
Main Menu 7/14
Valve
Valve Circuit
[SPA ]
Menu button: Select the Valve 7/14 menu.
Right button: Select the Valves Circuit setting.
Up/Down buttons: Select a circuit to assign to Valve C. The circuits names are:
NONE, SPA, POOL, AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3, FEATURES 1 - 4, SOLAR, HEATER
and FREEZE (circuit protection).
Note: “USED SOLAR” displays when solar is enabled in the “solar” menu,
therefore no other circuits are available. For more information, see page 20.
Note: Freeze protection function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment
against freeze damage. If the outside air temperature sensor falls below 36° F,
freeze protection is activated and the pool/spa filter pump relay is switched on to
circulate the pool water.
Left button: Press the Left button to return to the main status screen.
