Another IC40 question

[PanchoButler]

As has been mentioned before, I am new to pools in general. I just had to have my IC40 replaced. I have noticed that even when the pool is off, the IC40 still has power. The flow light is red, and the salt good and low lights alternate due there being no flow. I have the Easy Touch system with the remote. I don’t think the IC40 should be on when the pool is not running, correct? If not, how do I wire it up to run only when the pump is running?

Thanks

You are correct the IC40 should not be powered when your pump is off.

The IC40 should be powered off the same Pool Pump Relay that your pump is connected to. You need to look at where it is connected to now.

Post a pic of your ET showing the wiring.

I will get some pics tomorrow morning, weather permitting!

Looks like your IC40 uses a Power Center box. Which wires into the ET are from the Power Center and where do they connect to?

PB,

Do you have this SWCG power center mounted near your old EasyTouch? Pentair 520556 Intellichlor Salt Chlorinator Power Center

If so, tell us what conduit connects the ET to the power center//

Thanks,

No sir, there is one cable that comes in at the bottom left side of the first picture. After that the cables go up to where the circuit board is.

Do you have a picture of the whole equipment pad?

pb,

I am not familiar with the wiring of the older EasyTouch units.. Let me do a little research and see what I can find.

Thanks,

pb,

OK... the large transformer in the upper right of your pic is for the SWCG. Right below the transformer is a filter... I can't tell, looking at the pic, but we need to see where the input wires to the filter go... There is a white pic of the filter and how it is wired into the transformer right on the back wall of your ET.. The output wires, Brown and Blue, are connected to the transformer's Yellow and White wires.. What we need you to figure out is where do the input wires to the filter connect.. They are also Brown and Blue.

In theory, they should be connected to the load side of the pump filter relay, which is the one in the upper left of your pic.

It could be the relay is bad and just stuck closed???? Do you have a VS pump or a single speed pump?

Thanks,

Jim R.

Where does the cell power cord connect?

 

[PanchoButler]

Here is where everything comes in. The power and data come in and connect to the small circuit board with the green LED on it

 

[JamesW]

When the filter pump relay is off, are you still getting 240 volts on terminals 2 and 4?

What pump do you have?

When you get a chance, please answer my questions in post #11

[JamesW]

If you put the system in Service mode and press the Filter pump button, does the Salt System go on and off with the pump on light?

Does the pump go on and off with the filter pump button?

Will do. I will check that out when I can get back in there. It will be raining the next few days, but I should be able to get in there this weekend
