Manufacturer: Pentair Water

Model Number(s): IntelliTouch, EasyTouch

Minimum Core Module Version:

Document Revision Date: 09/25/2017

OVERVIEW AND SUPPORTED FEATURES

Installing a Pentair EasyTouch/Intellitouch system can be broken down into the following steps:

1. Work with the client and the pool builder to ensure cabling from the EasyTouch/Intellitouch load center

is pulled to a location suitable for the Pentair HW-EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter, or HC

Controller RS-485 Port to communicate with the g! system.

2. Ensure that the pool builder properly programs the EasyTouch/Intellitouch system. See Programming

EasyTouch/Intellitouch for more details.

3. Install and connect the Pentair HW-EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter, or HC Controller

RS-485 Port electrically to the EasyTouch/Intellitouch controller. See Installation Overview for the list of steps required.

4. Integrate the pool / spa system into the g! system and test proper operation. This step is outlined in

g! Configuration Details.

THE LOAD CENTER

Pentair uses the term Load Center and Power Center to describe the sheet metal enclosure typically mounted at the equipment pad that includes the high voltage relays that control the pool equipment (lights,

pumps, etc.). The Load Center includes the EasyTouch/Intellitouch Controller, which is the brains for the system, and is mounted above the high voltage relays in a low voltage section of the panel.

In this document we only use the term Load Center to describe the panel, including the controller.

EASYTOUCH/INTELLITOUCH SUPPORTS THE FOLLOWING FEATURES

Manual Control: EasyTouch/Intellitouch systems can be easily controlled from the Indoor Control Panel. Individual circuits can be turned on or off directly at the Load Center itself.

Devices Supported: The EasyTouch/Intellitouch line supports a wide variety of pool installations.

Anywhere from 5 to 50 circuits are supported. Refer to the table in Suggested Design Procedure for details of the EasyTouch/Intellitouch models: refer to the Pentair Water Web site for more details (www.pentairpool.com).

THE FOLLOWING FEATURES ARE NOT SUPPORTED IN g!

Multiple Pentair Controllers: g! will only integrate with one Pentair Controller in a system.

Elan HW-EB-100 Serial Bricks: The Elan HW-EB-100 Serial Bricks is not compatible with Pentair pool systems

Any feature not specifically noted as “supported” is not supported.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON EASYTOUCH/INTELLITOUCH PROGRAMMING

The EasyTouch/Intellitouch system must be programmed to operate properly with the g! system. This process sets the type of device (cleaner, light, etc) for each circuit, in addition to other important settings, including the circuit name, and if the circuit should be turned on in cold weather to prevent the pipes from freezing. Initial programming can be done with an Indoor Control Panel or a Service Man’s Panel, both of

which are familiar to the pool contractor. Initial programming can also be done from the g! Configurator, as

explained in Programming EasyTouch/Intellitouch below.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON PENTAIR HW-EBP-100 SCREENLOGIC2 PROTOCOL ADAPTER

The Pentair HW-EBP-100 Must be updated to Firmware revision 999 in order to be recognized by Elan systems.

This Firmware can be downloaded from the Software applications section of the dealer downloads page: http://www.elanhomesystems.com/support-downloads

Or it can be direct-accessed at: http://www.elanhomesystems.com/support-downloads

Instructions for integration:

1. Install and fully program the Pentair pool system for standalone control as normal. 2. Install the Pentair ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter following standard wiring guidelines. 3. *Launch g! Configurator and attempt to create a new communication device “IP to Serial:

SerialBrick”. Note that by default the name should be “Pentair: xx-xx-xx” where the last 6 digits of the unit MAC address make up the x’s.

If the desired unit appears in the “EdgeBrick” drop down, no update is needed.

If the desired unit does not appear, continue. 4. Launch ScreenLogic Connect and see if the system appears in Local Systems. Note: if you don’t

have ScreenLogic Connect installed, it is available on the Pentair website.

If the unit does not appear, troubleshoot connections and network should be performed until the system can be detected in either g! or ScreenLogic Connect.

5. If the unit is visible in ScreenLogic Connect but not visible to g! systems on the same network, perform the 999 update.

* Optionally instead of ScreenLogic Connect, a special version of HLDEVICE was created that will check for Pentair devices on the new network port. You could run HLDEVICE and PENTAIRHLDEVICE side by side to determine visibility and version.

Pentair Update 999 Notes:

Pentair Update 999 is modified version of the Pentair 5.2.730 firmware with the network ports reverted to those compatible with g! systems.

Version 5.2.999 was chosen as the number to make the firmware version easy to distinguish from other firmware versions.

Though two revisions of the Pentair HWEBP100 exist, they are based on the similar hardware and use a single firmware version.

There is no reason to update older revisions of firmware to this model for g! integration.

After installation of update 999 the Pentair brick may not be used for standalone ScreenLogic local/remote connections.

3 of 13

If desired, the unit may be reverted to standalone Pentair software by using the latest update available on the Pentair website. See the Protocol Adapter Update tool download.

Prior to running the 999 update it is strongly recommended to use ScreenLogic Connect’s Configure IP Info or Pentair-HLDEVICE’s Basic Config to assign a static IP address to the unit.

I have tested the update on two older HomeLogic manufactured units: 1 HWEBP100 and 1 HWEB102. Both were updated to 725 and 730 and then flashed to 999 with success. We do not have new hardware available for comparison, though our understanding is the hardware is similar and should offer the same experience.

Pentair Update 999 Instructions: Note: it is strongly recommended to assign a static IP address on the HWEBP100 prior to attempting to flash the firmware—the HWEBP100 will reboot during the process and a changed IP address will cause the update to fail. As with all updates, a hardwired local network connection should be used to perform the update.

1. Launch the updater program pentairupdate999.exe. 2. Select the Pentair Protocol Adapter from the list and click Start. Note that g! systems may

appear but should not allow install if selected.

3. The updater will connect and reflash the firmware automatically:

4 of 13

Note: “Retry Block” messages are OK provided the update continues and completes successfully.

4. Wait until the updater reports the success and click OK to exit the updater.

5 of 13

5. Click cancel to close out of the ScreenLogic Update utility when finished.

6. Following completion of the updater the unit should be available for addition to the g!

Configurator as a “IP to Serial SerialBrick” Communication Device.

The pumps, boosters and the lights are each high voltage Circuits in IntelliTouch, and wire to relays in the Load Center. The intake and return valves are driven by low voltage actuators that connect to the Load Center. The water and temperature sensors are simple thermistor devices that also wire to the Load Center.

The diagram above includes both a pool and a spa, setup as a shared system. In other words, there is a

single pump / filter / heater that is connected to both the pool and the spa, through the Intake Valve and

the Return Valve. Depending on the valve positions, the following are done:

1. The water is circulated in the pool only, and the water in the spa is unaffected.

2. The water is circulated in the spa only, and the water in the pool is unaffected.

3. The water is circulated from the pool and pumped into the spa. The water then overflows the spa

and returns to the pool, through a Spillway.

4. The water is circulated from the spa to the pool. Since the spa is typically much smaller than the pool, this will drain the spa.

IntelliTouch is designed to handle a wide variety of pool and spa configurations, including a stand-alone pool or spa as well as a pool and spa setup each with their own filter pump and heater.

i10+3D 10 Dual body of water: two pumps, two heaters

i5X 5 Expansion: 5 additional circuits

i10X 10 Expansion: 10 additional circuits

The pool contractor will typically work with the client to determine how many circuits are needed, and how to setup the IntelliTouch system.

During this planning process, work with the client and the pool contractor to assist in the selection of a

controller that will satisfy their requirements and also tie into the g! system. Refer to the table above and the details available on the Pentair Web site.

PROGRAMMING INTELLITOUCH

There are two methods to program the IntelliTouch system.

The first method uses an IntelliTouch Indoor Control Panel or an IntelliTouch Service Man’s Panel, and is

the method a pool installer would use if no g! system were present.

The second method relies instead on the g! Configurator, and allows a system to be programmed with the

IntelliTouch ScreenLogic user interface. This approach is recommended where there is no Indoor

Control Panel or Service Man’s Panel. Refer to the IntelliTouch ScreenLogic documentation

available on Pentair’s Web site for details on the ScreenLogic user interface.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The following steps are needed for installation.

Refer to the diagrams that follow for various wiring scenarios.

1. If using a Pentair HW-EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter, decide where the Pentair HW-

EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter will be installed. Two common choices are at a location

near an Indoor Control Panel, and inside the g! System Enclosure. Due to heat inside the Load

Center, DO NOT install the Pentair HW-EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter inside the load center.

2. During the rough-in phase, run a cable from the Load Center location to the Pentair HW-EBP-100

ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter location. This cable is typically the same as the 18X4 control wiring

typically used to connect the Load Center to an IntelliTouch Indoor Control Panel. If using an HC

Controller, you may wish to run Cat5 instead.

3. If the Pentair HW-EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter will not be installed inside the g!

System Enclosure, then run a Cat5 cable from the System Enclosure to the HW-EBP-100 location.

You may also wish to install a single-gang outlet adjacent to the HW-EBP-100 to cleanly terminate the Cat5 to an RJ45 Female connector.

4. Install the IntelliTouch equipment and test that all circuits operate normally in manual mode.

5. Install the Pentair HW-EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter.

6. Electrically connect the Pentair HW-EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter to IntelliTouch and to the Ethernet network.

7. Check function from the Viewer and Configure Circuits from Configurator if necessary.

COMMON MISTAKES

1. Failing to test the Cat5 cable assembly. It is easy to make a mistake when terminating the Cat5 cable with the RJ-45 connectors. Always use a LAN tester to check for continuity and shorts.

2. Failing to program the IntelliTouch prior to integration with g!. The IntelliTouch system must be fully

programmed and tested before the g! system will be able to properly read the settings.

3. Using an Elan HW-EB-100 Serial Brick. The Elan HW-EB-100 Serial Bricks is not compatible with

Pentair pool systems. Use the Pentair HW-EBP-100 ScreenLogic2 Protocol Adapter.

4. Improper programming of the IntelliTouch system. Any mistakes made on the programming may

cause erratic or undesirable behavior in the g! interface and control. For example programming a system with more than one Primary Pool or more that one Primary Spa circuits as shown below:
