The controller will not operate the pump in auto. No communication.
Original IntelliTouch i9+3 installed 2005/2006 undated May 2021 with ScreenLogic and replaced whisper flow with IntelliFLo VSF (firmware 2.11) ScreenLogic says IntelliTouich firmware is 1.19, adapt5or POOL: 5.2 Build 738.0. There is no indoor panel, the only control is via ScreenLogic from iPhone or service mode on i9+3 panel. Everything was working until recently when breaker supplying power went bad dropping one of the 120V legs into the controller. Replaced bad breaker in main panel. Lost Comm. Pump Display will not go “display not active”. The pump does run in service mode manually. So …
I’ve checked the rs485 cable. It isn’t shorted and has continuity on both yellow and green. Even pulled rs485 connector from pump and checked continuity all the way thru to connector that plugs into the drive, so the cable is getting the pins together. So cable looks good. Changed out drive, possible rs485 chip problem. Nope, still no comm. Checked AC volts on connector to IntelliTouch personality board. All seemed good but read a little high on each. Changed out IntelliTouch 520287 Unversail Outdoor Controller motherboard. No change, Display still won’t go not active, no comm, no control via ScreenLogic.
ScreenLogic will control all the relays including the filter pump relay which will turn power to the pump, and it will run the last manually chosen program. So the link via Wi-Fi should be good. Hence when ScreenLogic runs a schedule it will filter the pool, it just show Power Usage (Watts) 0, RPM 0, Flow (GPM) 0, even though the pump is running 1800 RPM according to the display (and is moving water). All relays including the pump power can be turned on and off via ScreenLogic, but the speed can not be changed. The spa valves will also operate. (No salt system, only ScreenLogic and the pump 1 comm cable plugged into the personality board).
I have not replaced the transform, because it does seem to be good, voltages are just a little high. The personality board with all the connectors has only a diode so I don’t see how it is the problem, unless the diode is bad. Any suggestions on what to test next. I can get a personality board and swap that out. Is there any other explanation of why the controller and pump won’t communicate? Is there something that must be reprogrammed in the controller?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
