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 until 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.
To connect the IntelliFlo cable to the IntelliTouch load center:
1. CAUTION - Switch the main power off to the IntelliTouch load center.
2. Unlatch the IntelliTouch load center front door spring latches, and open the front door.
3. Remove the cover-panel screws securing the high voltage cover-panel, and remove it from the
enclosure.
4. Loosen the two control panel access screws and fold down the outdoor control panel.
5. Insert the two-wire cable into plastic grommet on the bottom of the enclosure and route the wire up
through the low voltage raceway to the Personality board.
