Need help with Installing pentair solartouch.

[Dwiessner]

Hi all. Getting ready to install my new solar controller. The new solar touch appears to have 2 inputs. My old controller has a bunch of wires. Anyone know which of these wires should go where?

And here is the solar touch panel, for reference

Looking closer, it appears the two black wires come in from the timer, and the two red wires go back out to different terminals on the timer. So my hunch is, the two labeled black in and black out should be wired to one terminal on the solar touch, and likewise with the red in and red out?

D,

It appears to me that your incoming power to your old system was 220 volts that comes in on the two black wires connected to Black in and Red in...

But.. 'appears to" is not what I would want to use if I were wiring your system. You really need to make sure the wires go where you believe and that the wires you connect to your new SolarTouch supply 220 volts from your circuit breaker panel..

You would wire the 220 coming into the SolarTouch so that one leg of the 220 (L1) goes to AC1 and the other leg of the 220 (L2) goes to AC4.

Thanks,

Jim R.
