Installing and Connecting Temperature Sensors
Water Temperature Sensor
To install the water sensor:
1. Select a convenient location to mount the water sensor in the plumbing system between the
filter pump and filter. Drill a 5/16" diameter hole in one side of the pipe,
2. Insert tip of sensor into the hole. Use the band clamp to secure the sensor to the pipe.
Tighten the clamp just enough so that the o-ring begins to flatten. Do not overtighten
3. Run 22 gauge two-conductor cable (included in kit) between the sensor and the Personality
board. Route the wire up through the Load Center low voltage raceway to the Personality
board.
4. Fasten the cable to the plumbing with cable ties.
5. Cut off the excess wire and the strip conductors ¼ inch. Use waterproof connectors
(provided) to connect the sensor to cable. Insert the wires into the WATER SENSOR screw
terminals (J5) on right-side of the Personality board. For wiring details, refer to the System
Wiring Diagrams, page 32 and 33.
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor (for freeze protection)
To install the air sensor:
1. Mount the sensor in the open air, in a shaded area, away from air conditioners. During the
winter months, to avoid freeze damage to pool and spa equipment, mount the air sensor in a
shaded area to assure proper temperature readings. The main screen displays the current
ambient air temperature.
2. Route the wire through the low voltage raceway to the motherboard.
3. Fasten the cable to the plumbing with cable ties.
4. Cut off the excess wire and the strip conductors ¼ in. Insert the wires into the AIR screw
terminals (J5) on right side of the Personality board. For wiring details, refer to the System
Wiring Diagrams, page 32 and 33.
Solar Temperature Sensor (Optional)
Run a two-conductor cable between the sensor and the IntelliTouch Load Center.
To install the solar sensor:
1 Mount the sensor on a flat surface, with the same exposure to sun as the solar collectors
(next to the collectors is recommended) or any sunny location. Do not let the sensor touch
the panels. WARNING: DO NOT DRILL HOLE AND CLAMP SENSOR INTO SOLAR
PIPE. For glazed panels, install the sensor between collector and glazing.
2 If necessary, splice a two-conductor extension wire to the sensor. Run two-conductor cable
between the sensor and the Load Center. Use waterproof connectors to connect the sensor
to the cable. Use twisted pair 20 AWG outdoor rated sensor wiring and be sure the wire
connections are protected from the environment. Use shielded cable for long runs or runs
near other electrical wiring.
3 Strip the conductors ¼ in. Insert the wires into the SOLAR SENSOR screw terminals (J5)
on right side of the Personality board. For wiring details, refer to the System Wiring
Diagrams, page 32 and 33.
