Overview
OEM installation
The unit must be installed under the skirt, at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from any metal component or structure.
This is necessary to ensure the proper transmission.
In some cases, it will be necesssary to relocate the unit once the spa is installed in the yard, to ensure the proper
signal transmission and distance. Install the in.touch so the module can be repositioned by spa owners to optimize
the signal strength in their yard.
We recommend that you install the unit with #8 PAN head screws.
Here are suggestions for a successful installation:
• Install the unit as high as possible in the spa skirt, but keep it away from the spa frame if its metal.
• Route the cable and leave some loose, so the in.touch can be moved in case of reception problems.
• Installing the in.touch in a corner of the spa may help to avoid metalic components in proximity of
the in.touch.
• The in.touch module should be installed as close as possible to the house to optimize the signal strength. It is
recommended to install the side of the spa with the in.touch module facing the house, to increase the signal.

Connections
There are two different models of the in.touch module; one model has 5 ports to connect auxiliary keys “AC” and the
other has 4 ports for auxiliary keys plus a communication port “CO”. Those switches will turn the
corresponding accessories on and off.
Set up the in.touch system
Turn off the power before connecting the in.touch to the Aeware spa pack (in.xm2 or other compatible model).
Simply connect the in.touch to the Aeware spa pack (See the illustration). The cable of the in.touch module shoud be
connected to the CO port of the spa pack.
Note: Before powering the Aeware spa pack, make sure all accessories are linked to the bonding connector and
connected to the spa pack. Make sure that the spa pack door is closed, then turn on the breaker.

(all on), Gentle Movement (pumps, blower and lights on low), Kids (the

Start accessories
To start an accessory, tap on the icon. The icon will be grey and inactive
for few seconds before turning on and becoming animated. Icons on the
in.touch screen will reflect the speed or state of the devices running on
your spa.
When an accessory is started, a runtime icon appears on the upper right
hand side of your screen. It indicates the remaining running time of
the accessory. When several accessories are running, the first selected
accessory fixes the runtime.

one more time. For multi-speed accessories, tap again until the device
turns off.

Water Care
The Water Care section will help you set up your filtration and heating
settings. Choose from Away from Home, Beginner, Energy Savings, Super
Energy Savings, and Weekender, depending on your need.
To modify a Water Care setting just tap on the blue arrow. It will open the
selected Water Care menu.
In Energy Savings mode, the set point will be reduced by 20°F*, which
means that the heating system will not be engaged unless the temperature
falls to 20°F below the spa's set temperature.
The filtration schedule shown on the screen will apply to the main
filtration pump, most likely pump 1. If your spa uses a circulation pump
configured to run 24 hours, the screen will show you the purge setting
instead of filtration. The purges are pre-programmed for a fixed number
of minutes, therefore the duration time will not appear on the screen, and
only the start time can be modified.
You can return to the manufacturer settings by tapping on Factory
Settings key.
