Lol. Ok, that we can do. Thanks!!

My buddy is installing his equipment, he has the newest Master temp with the RS 485 connections. Intellicenter. The instructions are horrible. We found the ground and serial communication ports of the RS 485 connection, but cannot figure out where to connect the red wire. The instructions say...

Agreed. Nice find on the connectors

Thanks. After replacing the LVO on the surge board and the RS485 chip on the easy touch main board everything is working again. <$15 repair

From what I can tell, it must be underneath the display.

Thanks. Is there an RS-485 transiever somewhere on the easy touch main board?

Already have a working solution. Working on the repair. In this case, the fuse is connected to nothing. Is the whole bottom half of the board sometimes not used? Perhaps when another part of the system generates the RS-485 signals?

21.5V to the top of F1 but nothing to the bottom. Blown fuse? Where is the actual fuse?

It's this the newer board you referred to? It appears quite different as it has a pic24F microcontroller and its own RS485 transceiver.

Helping a fellow forum member (remotely) look at his malfunctioning Easy Touch surge board. It inadvertently got 24 volts of AC sent through the RS485 from a connected peripheral. SWG is still getting DC power. There is 4.2v on the input and nothing on the output side of LVO (U3). I'm pretty...

Without a doubt, the subset of people who have pool automation and are willing to hack it is quite limited. Often what you will hear is I don't want to mess up expensive equipment. It just turns out that some really adventurous people help Pantair stuff I suppose. Adding in my raspberry Pi...

This will be easier than your heater meter by far!
