I’ve posted some chemistry questions here but first intellicenter question. I’m a new owner of a pool and spa business and learning every day, but still a ton to learn.

One of my techs installed an intellicenter upgrade to an easy touch panel, and at the same time, replaced a manifold on a heater and new motor to the pump. The customer wasn’t home so he couldn’t finish the wireless configuration.

According to my tech, he had programmed and set everything up on the intellicenter panel but just didn’t configure the WiFi.

The customer calls me today with two issues. First is the WiFi is not connected, naturally, and second is that on the intellicenter display, per customer, there is a “?” by the heater.

First question is, what could be the reasons for the “?” and potential ways to resolve.

Second, re WiFi connection, I’ve seen videos online that show the connection of the WiFi link antennas, and other videos show the system connecting to a standard wireless network. Will either way work?

And if anyone wants to make themselves available for some consulting tomorrow afternoon (12 mountain time), let me know!!
 
What version of firmware is in the IntellCenter?

You should update the system to 2.026 using a USB key before doing much setup. Things will go smoother with many bugs fixed.

Oh, it’s a mastertemp 400 natural gas.
Connected by 2-wire control as a Gas Heater or RS-485 as a MasterTemp?

I’ll be heading over there at noon mountain time today. I’ve read through all the intellicenter installation/set up guides as well as the TFP guides last night and this morning. I’ll check that first thing and have the USB update ready.
 
Check the Affiliated Body for the heater is set to Pool/Spa. I suspect it is set to Pool only.
