Yep, I think you have the idea down... the indoor "antenna" powers the protocol adapter and - in conjunction with the outdoor antenna - wirelessly connects the data lines (yellow/green wires) to the outdoor board. the outdoor board, the wireless link and the protocol adapter each have an rs485...

anywhere from 12-15 volts is fine, I think mine's 14 and change. as far as I can tell the you've only got 2 devices that can connect to the comm port... a screenlogic protocol adapter and a wireless link (for the screenlogic). You said you don't have an intelliflo... do you have an...

@mfifield01 great point about the IP rating and depth, and @mknauss I like your shelf trick... I should have been doing that all along!

I've never tried it but it's on my list. I have an 830 that "died" a couple weeks back... it was shutting down because the impeller motor wouldn't spin - I could turn it by hand but it was pretty tight. Luckily I had an 820 for spare parts so I swapped the whole motor assembly but I do want to...

I do like a pentair remote! Actually I prefer an indoor controller - both of them "back up" all of your settings and programming, something Screenlogic doesn't do. But I also have a Screenlogic (protocol adapter) with a wireless link (Jim I'm into the early 2000s now!). I think the wireless...

hi and welcome! I'm not a suntouch user myself but I checked the wiki and there's nothing for the Suntouch (Pentair Automation Systems - Further Reading), so I'd start with the Pentair documentation that you can find here... SunTouch® Control System. Give that a look and post any other questions!

give us some more details on what you mean by "my easytouch control only flashes"... what is flashing? what kind of booster pump do you have? if it's just a single speed high pressure pump I would expect it to be controlled by a relay (and it might have a time delay set) rather than have a...

Ok cool that's great information... it definitely sounds like the indoor board is bad. I usually like to connect it with a short known-good cable to the outdoor board to eliminate wiring issues but it sounds like you and the tech took care of that already. sending you a message now.

i'll reach out over pm, but first... how did you isolate it as the issue? i.e. does the outdoor panel work fine and talk to your pump/salt generator/etc (I don't know what you've got) with the indoor unit unplugged?

wow, I did post that... and unfortunately I never made a 3d model to print. I got rid of that d804 because I was busy messing with the Fluke 8060s - made my own custom LCD replacement for them ;) Check it out: Old Fluke Multimeters - Page 36

Look in the manual for the sequence to reset the salt number and see if that works for you... you have to turn the unit on, wait for it to click and then momentarily flip to super chlorinate when you see the right salt level (3100ish for you). Check the manual for the exact sequence, I don't...

Really nice work and great write up! WLED is great software too.

Ok cool, you've got a wireless link... my best guess at this point is that it's the culprit. I would try hard-wiring it (temporarily remove the wireless link) and see if that changes anything. If you can't run a long enough cable you can also install the Screenlogic in the outdoor panel and...

Hey Eric, I don't see an answer to whether your screenlogic (SL) hard-wired to the comm port or if it uses a wireless link? (I know the ethernet side is wired to a switch, but I'm talking about the rs485 connection). A wireless link might add an interference variable to your problem. If your...
