FILTER PUMP
On the Decora Series Smart Touch controllers the Filter Pump daily filtering cycle is controlled by the Time Clock in the
Power Center.The Filter Timer is an Electronic 7 day programmable timer with rechargeable battery backup. This timer
is only available on the Smart Touch Decora Series controls. On the Smart Touch 620 and 840 controls filter pump pro-
gramming is performed on the TouchScreen. See Page (UNKNOWN) for timer programming instructions.
From The Power Center
The Filter button turns on and off the main filtration pump to begin circulation to the pool. This Filter pump also activates
if the spa is turned on, or if the pool cleaner is turned on. The main filtration pump circulates the pool or spa water
through the filter and heater.The Filter pump must be on if you want to display the pool temperature, or if you want to
heat the pool or spa.
HEATER ENABLE SWITCHES
The Smart Touch system has separate Pool Heater Enable and Spa Heater Enable switches. To heat the pool during
daily filtering , enable the heater by changing to the Manual Mode and pressing the Pool Heat Enable button. The LED
next to the button should be lit. When the heater is firing the LED will flash. Set the Spa Heater Enable if you would like
to heat the spa while in the Spa Mode.
Aux 1 /Clnr
TheAux 1 circuit can be set up as either a standard auxiliary or as a Pool Cleaner pump or valve actuator.The Pool
Cleaner option is also used to control the low speed of a 2 speed pump. If your installer has the #1 Dip switch turned to
the Cleaner position the logic circuits and lockouts will be turned on. With Aux 1 set to the Cleaner position a five minute
delay and Filter Pump interconnect is enabled as well as a Spa Mode lockout. In other words, if the Filter pump and
Cleaner are off and the Cleaner is turned on, theAux 1 / Clnr LED will flash in the standby mode and the Filter Pump will
turn on for a 5 minute prime cycle.After the prime cycle the Aux 1 / Clnr circuit will activate. If the Aux1 / Clnr circuit is
on and the Spa Mode is turned on theAux 1 /Clnr circuit will go into the standby mode and it’s LED will flash.
Aux 2 / Solar
The
Aux 2 circuit can be used as a standard auxiliary or as a Solar heating pump or Solar valve actuator
. If your installer
has the #2 Dip switch turned to the Solar position the logic circuits and lockouts will be turned on. You must have
Innovative Pool Products 4 wire Digital Solar Temperature Sensor to operate the solar collectors automatically. Do Not
Use a 2 wire thermistor type sensor or damage to the system will result. To Enable the Solar Heater turn on the Aux 2
/Solar function, it’s LED will flash until conditions are met for Solar Heating to begin. These conditions are. Filter Pump
must me running and the Smart Touch must be reading the Water Temperature. The Water Temperature of either the
Pool or Spa must be lower than the Pool or Spa Temperature Set Point. The Solar Temperature Sensor must sense that
there is sufficient heat available to activate the Solar Heater (at least 4 degrees higher than the water temperature).
AUX 3 and 4 Smart Touch 6 or Greater,AUX 5 and 6 available on Smart Touch 840 Only.
These auxiliaries can be used for any motor load up to 240 volts 3 horse power.
LOCKOUTS AND DELAYS (FLASHING LED’S)
When a function is in a delay mode or a lockout the LED for that function will flash.
Heater Cool down Delay - When the system is heating (water is circulating to the spa) and the Spa button is pressed,
the system will return to the Pool Mode for five minutes, and will continue to circulate the water.This delay allows water
to cool the heater down by circulating water through it, preventing equipment damage.
Heater Startup -.The heater will only fire if the Smart Touch is reading the water temperature (e.g. filter pump is
on and has been circulating for 1 min.) to the corresponding body of water (e.g. spa for spa heater) and the actual
water temperature is below the temperature you set . If these conditions are not met, the heater can be enabled
(ready to fire), but will not fire. When the heater is enabled, the LED next to the button will be red. When it is fir-
ing, the LED will flash red.
Cleaner Lockout -The pool cleaner will only activate if the system is in pool mode (i.e. water circulating to pool).
The pool cleaner requires that water is circulating to the pool in order for it to operate. Return to pool mode to activate
the cleaner.
