EasyTouch

ScreenLogic

ScrrenLogic is an optional component that enables remote control and programming of the EasyTouch from a PC, phone, or tablet.

With ScreenLogic EasyTouch talks to a "Protocol Adapter". The link between the ET and the Protocol adapter can be either a 4 wire cable OR the wireless link that is included in the kit. The plus side to hardwired is no wireless to screw with. The downside is that a nearby lightning strike can come in on the hardwire and take out the protocol adapter, a router and several Ethernet units connected to the router as happened to one member.

The Protocol Adapter speaks "Pentair" on one end and Ethernet on the other end.It is a "translator".

The ScreenLogic kit is P/N 522104.

Temperature Sensor

EasyTouch temp sensors is 520272.

Code 1 Error

Code 1 error means a self test had been initiated from a human @ the ICP, or at the controller, and is reporting an LCD display light problem. If you are getting a CODE 1 without initiating a self test, you may have bigger problem with the controller i.e. a stuck button or worse, a short somewhere on the board.

Compool

Compool was bought by Pentair. Compool systems consists of the LX3800 outdoor panel and the CP3800 indoor control panel.

Compool Upgrade to EasyTouch by Pentair Model 521107 will to change a Compool system into an EasyTouch.

CP3800 Display is Intermittent

If the CP3800 panel display is intermittent then check the cable from the LX3800 to the CP3800.

How to Replace the CP3800 Battery

Turn power off and open the door in the picture, screw under handle. Carefully open and you will see the board. The battery is circular under a small clip.

ERR1 Error

ERR1 is a Compool error, and is the water temp sensor which should be located somewhere between the filter pump and the filter. ERR1 indicates that the system cannot "make sense" of the resistance the temp sensor is giving, OR the wire has become disconnected from the board (rats/mice).

Compool temp sensor is Compool: TS5L

Accessories

iS4 Spa-Side Remote Control

The iS4 Spa-Side Control can be used with the Pentair® IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch® Control Systems and the Compool® CP series Control Systems to provide remote switching of four control circuits from the spa location. It is typically used for activating spa circulation and three auxiliary pieces of equipment (such as lights, jet pump, air blower, etc.). One iS4 spa-side control can be installed per control system. It is possible to install two iS4 remotes on a single control system, however, the two iS4 remotes will mirror each other in functionality.

Most of the time, the remotes are the problem, but the main board can also be a problem. The remote is nothing more than a few momentary buttons that pass a ground or +5 VDC through one of the buttons to an IC chip that responds. If the chip is bad, the buttons will not work. You can just use a jumper wire to see if the problem is the remote or the board. Another possible problem could be that you have lost the program/memory that tells the system what each button is supposed to do.

Here is the schematic for the Pentair remote.
