Location and Installation

Before installing the IntelliSync™ Control and Monitoring System, read the following
guidelines carefully:
• Before permanent installation, test the 2.4 GHz WiFi signal strength
at the location where the enclosure will be mounted (refer to "Testing
WiFi Signal Strength" in the IntelliSync Pentair Home App User's
Guide). IntelliSync operates on 2.4 GHz. Be sure the home network
router supports 2.4 GHz. Dual Band routers are supported.
• If possible, minimize the number and volume of obstacles that may
block the wireless signal to the enclosure.
• Before choosing the final location for the unit, consider the length
of all of the RS-485 wires that will need to be connected to the unit.
Note: Be sure to consider cable lengths for the sensors to the unit
location as well.
• Mount the unit on a flat vertical surface with unobstructed access to
the front of the unit. The unit can be mounted outside or inside of a
pool equipment shed or other enclosure.
• All electrical equipment, except for UL Listed spa-side remote
switches, must be installed no fewer than 5 ft. (1.5 m). For Canada,
3 m (9.75 ft.) from the pool and/or spa. Comply with all national, state,
and local codes.
• Install the IntelliSync unit to allow enough space at the equipment
pad to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up.
