Setting up the SunTouch System for the First Time
(after equipment installation)
Use the following steps if you are setting up the SunTouch system for the first time. Note: The following
setup steps assume that the SunTouch enclosure is installed at the equipment pad and ready for
operation. The recommended first time installation steps for the SunTouch system are:
1. Set the system mode and type (page 24)
System Mode: Configure the SunTouch system to operate in Solar Only or Pool/Spa mode.
System Type: Configure the SunTouch system to operate as a Shared Equipment system or as a Single Body
system (pool only or spa only).
2. Set the system date and time: Solar only (page 6). For Pool/Spa mode (page 9)
Set the system time for Solar Only and time and date for Pool/Spa mode.
3. Assign a circuit function to a circuit name in Pool/Spa mode (see page 26)
Assign Circuit Functions (menu 10/14) to circuits. From the Circuit Type menu, you can assign special logic to
a circuit by selecting one of the available circuit functions. If an auxiliary circuit (AUX) is assigned GENERIC
(simple ON/OFF when the button is pushed) then nothing needs to be done.
4. Configure valve actuators (controlled by AUX circuit) in Pool/Spa mode (see page 21)
The SunTouch system can drive two auxiliary valve actuators for applications such as solar heating and water
features. Assign which circuits will activate valves A (intake) and B (return). Auxiliary valve actuators can be
controlled by any AUX circuit. Valve C is automatically assigned to solar if Solar is enabled in the “Solar”
menu.
5. Set up optional equipment, solar, two-speed pump in Pool/Spa mode (see page 29, 30)
Set up additional equipment such as solar, 2-speed pump, and optional equipment if required. Access the Main
Menus (1/14) to setup optional equipment such as the IntelliFlo VS and IntelliFlo VF pump and IntelliChlor
chlorine generator (see page 33 and 79). To configure SunTouch 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?
• 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?
CAUTION: When using the IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator and the IntelliFlo with the SunTouch
system, the IntelliChlor power center AC power wires must be connected to the PUMP SIDE OF THE
RELAY located in the SunTouch power center. This ensures that IntelliChlor produces chlorine only
when the main filter pump is on. See page 79 for details.
6. Configuring the heater system options Pool/Spa mode (page 14)
Set the type of heat source being used (Heater, Solar, Solar Preferred).
7. Configure the QuickTouch wireless remote buttons (page 28)
Assign four circuits to the QuickTouch remote buttons. Once you have checked that all buttons operate
properly, place labels on remote buttons.
8. Schedule on/off times for circuit (page 17)
Set times for automatic circuit activation. Up to 6 total programs can be created for all circuits combined.
One circuit can have up to a maximum of 4 programs (4/4). All user created programs are active all the time;
so check that there are not conflicting automated times.
