Controlling IntelliFlo with the IntelliTouch

The IntelliFlo pump can be controlled by an IntelliTouch system via the RS-485 communication cable. In
this configuration IntelliTouch starts and stops the IntelliFlo. IntelliTouch also rewrites many of the
parameters in the IntelliFlo drive's memory, such as the filter cycle start and stop times, pool size and the
clock. The transfer of this data takes several seconds and causes a delay from when the command is given
from the IntelliTouch indoor control panel untill the IntelliFlo physically responds. Frequently, these changes
to the IntelliFlo parameters will cause the pump to stop while it recalculates internal parameters and then
restart. This happens automatically but may take 1-2 minutes to complete.

The IntelliFlo LCD control panel is disabled when communicating with the IntelliTouch system and
"DISPLAY NOT ACTIVE" will be displayed. Note that IntelliTouch will not start communicating with the
IntelliFlo until the pump is assigned an IntelliTouch circuit name. For more information, refer to the
IntelliTouch User's Guide (P/N 520102).

Connecting IntelliFlo to IntelliTouch

Connection from IntelliFlo to the IntelliTouch system is via the optional two-wire cable (P/N 350122). The
cable pinout is shown on page 32.
