I have water bubbling out of the expansion joint between the stone coping and concrete deck when I turn on the waterfall feature. The pool was installed in 2008 so it's nine years old (I don't think this is covered by a warranty). 1) What kind of contractor would I hire to handle this type of...

It worked!!! I used the 5v power from the outside controller to feed the connector going into the wireless controller. Both lights on the BDM came on. I ran the batch file and it ran all the way through without a hitch. It was nice that the Micro JST connectors were sold in packs of 10. Having...

That's probably why I was never able to measure the 5V from the BDM ribbon cable. I measured the power from the header on the outside controller and it's exactly 5v between pin 1 and 6. I'm going to try using that as a power source to the wireless controller.

I tried doing it manually. Same result. As soon as the connection was attempted using the 'connection assistant', the wireless controller shut down. If the NiMH batteries don't work, I'll considered building a connector that connects to the outdoor header without the BKGN and Reset lines...

I Agree. There would be no reason to design it differently than the rest of their equipment. No it just ran through the sequence without a hitch then the program closed itself. It took a while (minute or two) for the controller to go back into a usable state without indicating what was going...

yes. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/69589-How-to-perform-firmware-upgrade-on-Pentair*-controllers

I was able to load the firmware into the outdoor system. It now says ver 2.140 but it says UWC unknown (That's where the wireless firmware version would be listed). I tried loading firmware into the wireless controller again. This time I noticed the yellow light on the BDM came on but as soon...

OK, I'll measure pins 1 and 6. Should I see the 5v as soon as I plug in the usb cable or do I need to run the program?

I just tried to load the firmware into the wireless controller and got "Cannot Enter Background mode. Check connection" Error 34. It's the same error when header is disconnected. Maybe I have the micro jst pins reversed. Maybe 1 should be the red wire and 6 should be the white wire.

Yes. Inside the easytouch folder it has 3 batch files. 1) easytouch_outdoor2, 2) easytouch_wireless2, and 3) easytouch_indoor2. I have the outdoor panel and the wireless controller. There is a 6 pin header in the battery compartment of the wireless controller. I checked my PM and didn't see...

My son was able to get it for a steep discount direct from PE Micro because they have a student discount that takes 90% off the price of their software. That worked out well. Search their website for student discounts. What's the process of upgrading the firmware with regards to the easytouch...

Thanks JerryT So, If I am interpreting you correctly, BDM Pin 1 (the red wire labeled '1' on the BDM ribbon) connects to the black wire (labeled '5') on the Micro JST. BDM Pin 2 (labeled as wire '2' on the BDM ribbon) connects to the white wire (labeled '1') on the Micro JST. BDM Pin 4 (labeled...

JerryT, I just received the Micro JST 1.25 T-1 6-Pin Connector plug from Hong Kong (very quick shipping) and I need help with the pin-outs in your diagram. I'm not using a board so I'm going to cut the ribbon cable and attach the wires directly from the USB BDM Multilink. Can you look at my...

One additional thing I discovered on the PE micro website related to this is FAQ ID # 83 which says: USB-ML-12 Rev. B is a USB 2.0 device while USB-ML-12 Rev. A is a USB 1.1 device. You need the latest version of software to work with the Rev. B cables. If you are using P&E's software...

Here's a Progress update: I installed the drivers from the pe micro website. I connected the USB Multilink. Windows successfully detected the device and it showed up in the device manager under Jungo Connectivity as "USB Multilink 2.0" and "WinDriver". The blue LED came on. I assume this means...

Thanks Jerryt. I already ordered the USB BDM MULTILINK and it arrived today so I'll find if it works with XP and let everyone know.

Can someone help clarify a few things. Following tinyavian's link to PE Micro's website lands on a device called "USB BDM MULTILINK" and the part number is "USB-ML-12" Based on more recent information, this is likely a newer version of the hardware referred to as Rev C and has compatibility...

I know this is an old thread but I had a recent related issue that may help some people. I have the easytouch 8 and a STA-Rite SR400HD heater. The manual is a little confusing when it comes to the "external control" set up. Apparently there are 2 versions of external control. A 2-wire control...

Sorry to open an old thread but sometimes this helps establish a trend in failure modes. I have the Natural Gas version of this heater (SR400NA). My failure mode is a little different but it’s likely motor related as well. The motor seems to be running slow (I seem to remember it running...

Beez, Please share what you stumbled onto.

Field Calibration does not work for me I've got a an Intellichlor IC40 that was part of the easytouch system. It was installed in Aug 2008 but I'm not sure what version it is. The field calibration procedure doesn't work for me. I can get to step 5 but step 6 does not occur. I see no...
