Dimming Lights

In order to dim lights, the Dimmer Module (P/N 520406) must be installed by a qualified electrician in the
IntelliTouch Load Center or Power Center. Only incandescent tungsten filament lights can be dimmed (not
Halogen lights). Lights that have dimming functionality can be dimmed from the Lights screen. SAm or SAL fiber
optic lights, MagicStream Laminars, Halogen and IntelliBrite lights cannot be dimmed. For more information, see
page 42. The circuit must be assigned to the "Dimmer" circuit function (see page 41) in order to
operate correctly.
Getting There
MENU SETUP ADVANCED CIRCUIT FUNCTION (NAME)
To dim lights, go to the assigned circuit name:
1. Press the button next to the circuit name. A light should come
on and be switched on at the specified dimming level.
2. To change the dimming level, hold the circuit button down until
the Dimmer Level Settings screen displays as shown.
3. Press the button next to Decrease to decrease the dimming
level, and the button next to Increase to increase the dimming
level. The percent value displays the current dimming level
setting.
4. Press Save when done. The light will adjust to the set dimming
level.
Note: Macros can turn on light dimming circuits, but lights cannot be dimmed through the macro.
The dimming level must be changed for each light dimming circuit.

Setting ON/OFF Times for Equipment (PROGRAM)

You can create schedules to automatically run equipment like pool filtration or lights. Any circuit can be set to
switch on and off on every day of the week. When a relay is switched on manually, it remains on until you either
switch it off manually, or the next time the relay is scheduled to be switched off. For example, if the filter pump or
any circuit is scheduled to run from 9AM to 4 PM and the programmed schedule is turned OFF at 1:00 PM and
then turned on at 1:10 PM, the circuit will turn OFF at its programmed OFF time of 4:00 PM. But if the circuit is
turned on after 4:00 PM, the factory set Egg Timer of 12 hours is now engaged. So if the circuit was turned on at
6:00 PM that circuit will turn off at 6:00 AM (12 hours later). If the circuit was turned ON at 5:00 PM and
because a programmed OFF time had been set to turn off at 4:00 PM, the circuit would operate for 11 hours. A
spa or pool program can be overridden using the Spa or Pool button to switch the circuit on.
From the "Program" screen, you can schedule IntelliTouch to automatically run equipment like pool filtration or
lights. Any circuit (auxiliary, feature, or macro) can be scheduled to switch on and off at a specific time and on a
any day(s) of the week. Up to 99 total programs may be created for all circuits combined.
Schedule a program: The "Program" screen displays a program counter in the upper right (1/0) side of the
screen. This counter indicates the current number of scheduled programs. After setting the start and stop time and
the day(s) to run the first scheduled program, press Save to view the first program (1/1) and increment the counter
to next program. To access the next program screen, press the button next to the counter label (2/1). Set the start
and stop time and the day(s) to run the second scheduled program (2/1). Repeat this process to enter another
program. For example, 2/3 indicates that you are viewing program 2 of 3 total programs saved for that circuit. 4/
3 indicates that you are creating program 4 but only 3 are currently saved. After pressing the Save button, the
counter updates to 4/4. Press the button to the right of the label counter to step through each program first then
display the unsaved program screen. The following describes how to program equipment to run the pool filtration
system. This process is the same for any installed equipment listed on the screen.
