EasyTouch Load Center Installation Guide
Glossary
Control Panel: The EasyTouch control panel with flexible hinge. Installed in upper portion of
EasyTouch load center to control the EasyTouch pool and spa system.
EMI (Electromagnetic interference) filter: Protective circuit element that must be used between
the IntelliChlor transformer and supply lines.
High Voltage Panel/Compartment: Removable panel for the high voltage compartment of
EasyTouch load center. The high voltage wiring including circuit breakers, relays, GFCI and optional
IntelliChlor transformer/filter.
Indoor Control Panel: This 9 or 13 button remote controller with LCD (liquid crystal display) is
wired to the motherboard in the EasyTouch load center. The control panel can be wall mounted
inside a house to control the EasyTouch system.
IntelliChlor: Electronic salt chlorinator. Uses a process known as electrolysis to produce sodium
hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) from a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Model IC 20
Cell (P/N 520554) for pools up to 20,000 U.S. gallons (75 liters) and model IC 40 Cell (P/N 520555)
for pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (151 liters).
iS4: Four function spa-side remote. Spa wall or deck mounted.
Load Center: Metal enclosure with power relays, transformer, and circuit breakers. Used for
distributing power for controlling EasyTouch Systems. Also known as the “sub-panel.”
Low Voltage Compartment: Top compartment of EasyTouch load center for all low voltage wiring.
Low Voltage Raceway: Vertical space in the left side of EasyTouch load center for low voltage
cabling.
Motherboard: The circuit board mounted behind the EasyTouch control panel.
Relay Circuits: The circuits that control the relays on the motherboard. Connectors on top edge of
the circuit board.
Screw Terminal Connector: Removable connector that may attach to circuit board with multiple
sockets (anywhere from 2 to 6) to receive wires from controllers and sensors; wires held by screw
terminals; multiple wires of a small enough gauge (usually 22 AWG) may be coupled to a single
socket of a terminal connector.
Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG): Automated pool chlorinator that sanitizes using salt water (see
IntelliChlor).
Transceiver: Used by the EasyTouch wireless control panel. Circuit board with attached antenna
that can send and receive radio frequency (wireless) transmissions.
