I have and intellitouch 19+3 I just installed. Got everything up and running no problem with screen logic. I want to do a couple of things and was interested to hear if anyone else has experience with setting up certain features.
First I would like to set up the intellitouch to turn on and off the fill valve on my pool. It is easy enough to put a solenoid sprinkler valve on the pool fill. I would like to do this without adding another personality expansion board as they are rather expensive and it seems the current board should be able to accommodate it. I found the plug that the intellitouch uses for hooking up valves to the board on Digi-Key. ( JST 03nr-e4k) I know the valve actuators run on 24volts Ac same as the Hunter Solenoid sprinkler valve I have. So i thought i could just hook the sprinkler valve to one of the Aux Valve port on the intellitouch. but when i hook my multimeter to the board and turn on the valve I am not seeing andy power. I know there are 3 wires there and not sure how its wired, so could use some help if anyone has tried this or know how its wired so i can see the voltage.
My second question I think is fairly straight forward. I am using flatplate solar collectors to heat my spa and once my spa gets to temp would like to put whatever excess heat is available from the solar in the pool. I have the pool and spa both plumbed with an extra set of lines so i will be using an aux pump to pump the water from the pool/spa through the heat exchanger of the solar system. the solar relay on the intellitouch will allow me to turn on the pumps for the solar system recirculating pump and the pool/spa aux pump. I am interested to know how to tell the intellitouch to turn a valve once the spa is at its set temperature to direct the solar heat into the pool.
Thanks in advance for your help
