Connecting Intellitouch To A Standard Gas Heater; Connecting The Transformer - Intellitouch Pool and Spa Control System Installation Manual

Connecting IntelliTouch to a Standard Gas Heater (Pentair MiniMax,
MasterTemp)
To connect a Pentair MiniMax, or MasterTemp, or to the IntelliTouch Load Center:
The following instructions are for gas heaters and heat pumps with low voltage thermostats. To
connect the heater thermostat cable plug to the Personality board:
1. Switch the power OFF to the heater.
2. Remove the factory installed jumper from the heater's "Ext Switch" connector. CAUTION
IMPORTANT: DO NOT disconnect or wire around the thermostat, pressure switch, high
limit switch, or other safety devices. At the heater, connect the wires in accordance with
heater manufacturer's instructions. For older heaters without instructions for remote
operation, connect the wires to the Fireman's switch connections in series with the
thermostat, pressure switch, and other safety switches.
3. Run a two-conductor cable from the heater thermostat "Ext Switch" connector to the low
voltage raceway to the Personality board in the Load Center. NOTE: Use 105° C
temperature rated wire for connection to the heater. When connecting wires inside the
heater, be cautious of HOT internal parts of the heater. Refer to the minimum temperature
rating for wires recommended by the manufacturer. See the heater owners manual for
details.
4. Strip the conductors ¼ in. Insert the two wires into the GAS HEATER (J30) two-screw
terminal on the left side of the Personality board. For wiring details, refer to the System
Wiring Diagrams on pages 32 and 33.
CAUTION: Be sure that the wires from the heater to the Load Center are not near or
touching any line voltage wires in the heater. Failure to follow these instructions may cause
the heater to malfunction.
5. Set the Power (Thermostat Select) switch to either "Pool" or "Spa."
6. Set the "Pool" and "Spa" thermostats to their maximum position.

Connecting the Transformer

To connect the transformer wire harness onto the
Personality board:
• Connect the transformer plug onto connector
J2 on the right side of Personality board. The
plug is keyed onto the pins so that the six
wires point towards back of the board. From
left to right the wire colors should be blue,
orange, red. For the connector location, refer
to the diagram shown below and the System
Wiring Diagrams for models i5, i7+3, and
i9+3, page 32 and 33.
