    Controlling low voltage lights (how to wire) with Pentair Easytouch

    Ahultin, yeah....the wiring for the LV transformer were "colorful" to say the least....not really any kind of 'standard' that I've ever seen. In looking at one of the other closeups that I took...the white (actually tied to a blue-ish wire from the transformer) is tied into a white which leads...

    Controlling low voltage lights (how to wire) with Pentair Easytouch

    oh yeah....a follow up question. For whatever reason, on my Pentair software.....the new relay "automatically" showed up under "lighting" and only allowed an "off/on".....which we need a "schedule" for them. So I was trying to configure the screenlogic and was able to get it changed to 'cabana...

    Controlling low voltage lights (how to wire) with Pentair Easytouch

    Ok...I am onsite now and got the wiring done today! so, now I would like to have input on 'how I did'?...be honest, I can handle it. The GOOD news is the electrician that put the low voltage overhead lights and the 'light switch' in the Pentair box, did a little better than I originally...

    Controlling low voltage lights (how to wire) with Pentair Easytouch

    Sorry, I just saw these new posts.....you are correct that the silver box just to the right of the Easy Touch box IS the 'transformer' or "box" related to the overhead pool lights that were installed by the electrician. I haven't seen 'in person' how it wired it, but it seems he is powering the...

    Controlling low voltage lights (how to wire) with Pentair Easytouch

    Thanks again Jim! I understand. Can you answer one more 'stupid' question? which side of the relay does the black/white wire need to go?? Line/load side?

    Controlling low voltage lights (how to wire) with Pentair Easytouch

    Jim, Thanks for your response....However, I'm still a 'little' confused. So, you are saying that I CAN bring the low voltage wires (already stepped down from the transformer(s)) and attach to the relay?? or the 'correct' way is to attach the 120v powering the lights and then direct that to the...

    Controlling low voltage lights (how to wire) with Pentair Easytouch

    Hi all, I just read an 'old thread' that was relating to what I needed, but it did not 'finish' the thread and so I still have a question. I currently have low voltage overhead LED lighting system for our pool lanai area. We also have a low voltage pool light that is controlled by a wall...

    how to wire Hayward Variable speed pump to Pentair Easy touch automation

    Allen, FYI.....The Pentair folks were able to "deactivate" the solar sensor via the ScreenLogic Connect software (the tech I spoke to originally that gave me the instructions for deactivating on the panel gave 'incomplete' instructions.) but deactivating it via the 'configure ScreenLogic' from...

    how to wire Hayward Variable speed pump to Pentair Easy touch automation

    Thanks Allen.....I appreciate the copy/paste instructions, but they "seem" to indicate this direction if you have both "heat pump and gas heater" for using the Dual heater relay kit:unsure: I only have the Built Right electric heat pump. Maybe I'm reading those instructions wrong?!? You can...

    how to wire Hayward Variable speed pump to Pentair Easy touch automation

    Jim,. Thanks again for your time and responses (and expertise!). I am hoping to get some more time tomorrow to work out my issues and get things corrected. Also, hoping that I can get someone from Pentair to walk me through some things. They "told me" how to get rid of a "system alert"...

    how to wire Hayward Variable speed pump to Pentair Easy touch automation

    Jim, You nailed it in your response. You can sure see how this stuff works much easier than I can. My hair is falling out trying to figure this out. As far as 'how I want the system to work?".....My main concern is having the pump running enough to activate the heater for when we have renters...
