VALVE ACTUATOR IS NOT INSTALLED AND USED CORRECTLY. INSTALLERS, POOL OPERATORS AND POOL OWNERS MUST READ THESE WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION THE INTELLIVALVE VALVE ACTUATOR. This device must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CSA C22.1.
From the control pad the IntelliValve valve actuator provides easy setup and control of your diverter valve for pool and spa combinations, fountains, and water features.
Installing the IntelliValve ™ Valve Actuator The IntelliValve Valve Actuator can be installed on a 2-way, 3-way or 3-way Y valve assembly. Note: To connect the IntelliValve valve actuator power cable to the automation control system, see page 17 and 18.

IntelliValve valve actuator. Note: There is silicone on the actuator assembly and spline. While mounting the IntelliValve, be careful not to get silicone on the bottom of the IntelliValve assembly. If the IntelliValve valve actuator does not align with the mounting holes on the valve cover, rotate the actuator (while still attached to the valve) until the actuator manufacturers holes line up on the valve.

3-Way Valve: Diverter Position vs IntelliValve Actuator LED position ™ The following illustrates the relative position of the IntelliValve Actuator position LEDs and the 3-way valve diverter seal. INLET Position 24 (LED on) indicates the diverter restricts water flow for total shut off of the right side outlet.

™ 3-Way Y Valve: Diverter Position vs IntelliValve Actuator LED position The following illustrates the relative position of the IntelliValve Actuator position LEDs and the 3-Way Y valve diverter seal. INLET Position 20 (LED on) indicates the diverter restricts water flow for total shut off of the right side outlet.

3-Way Y Valve: Diverter Position vs IntelliValve Actuator LED position (Continued) Position 24 (LED on) INLET indicates the diverter partially restricts water flow out of the right side outlet. The water flow out of the left side outlet is unrestricted.
(EasyTouch and IntelliTouch Control Systems) After the IntelliValve valve actuator is mounted on to each of the valve assemblies, connect each IntelliValve Valve Actuator 24 V power cable to the 3-pin power sockets on the automation control system circuit board.
Page 18
Control System: IntelliTouch Control System Personality: (Intake and Return Valve): Connect the IntelliValve valve actuator power cable connector to the INTAKE (suction) and/or RETURN 3-pin socket. If required, there are two optional valve 3-pin sockets available (Valve A and Valve B). Excess cable can be coiled in the enclosure low voltage raceway left side compartment.
Troubleshooting Problem: The IntelliValve actuator did not move or went back to the previous position when the circuit was activated. Action: Be sure that both end point positions are set. If not, reset both end points (see Set Mode on page 9). If only one end point diverter position was set, the actuator will revert to previous setting.
