SpaCommand Spa-Side Remote Mounting Space Requirements
To install the SpaCommand spa-side remote into the wall of a gunite spa, provision must
be made while the spa is being plumbed. For recessed mounting (even with tile, plaster,
or other flat installation only), a mounting enclosure (mud-box, P/N 521180 sold
separately) and bezel must be used. For surface mounting (protruding from deck, tile or
uneven surface), a faceplate is used without the use of a mud-box. When installed, the
spa-side remote requires the following space:
Faceplate: 6-1/2” x 3-3/4”
Mud-box: 7-1/2” x 4-3/4” x 2” deep
Material: ABS plastic
Note: If the EasyTouch®or IntelliTouch® Control System load center is not located above
the spa water level, a junction box should be provided (above water level) for connection
to the spa-side remote and load center.
SPACOMMAND®SPA-SIDE REMOTE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: The SpaCommand spa-side remote is water resistant,
however it is recommended not to totally submerged it. Install the remote
above the highest sustained water level. If using a mud-box, do not install
below the spa water level.
The following describes how to install the SpaCommand spa-side remote. Read through
the installation instructions before starting.
Be sure that the pool and spa meets the requirements of the current National
Electrical Code (N.E.C.) Article 680-22 and all local codes and ordinances. A pool
service professional must install the SpaCommand spa-side remote.
4-inch Tile Line to Spa Water Clearance
For new pool/spa installation: It is recommended a minimum four (4) inch clearance
from the top of the tile line (coping) on the spa wall to the water line. This ensures that the
lower edge of the SpaCommand remote is not submerged in the spa water.

Step 1: Install Conduit
Prepare the mounting location near the spa: Install a one (1) inch conduit where the
remote control is to be located (see Figure 1). Conduit may be reduced down to ¾-
inch or ½-inch after the first three (3) inches cast into the spa area. Be sure the conduit
is perpendicular to the surface (90° angle). Run the conduit, using sweep elbows for
turns from the spa to the low voltage raceway of EasyTouch®to IntelliTouch®Control
System load center.
Step 2: Install Mud-Box
Mount the mud-box over the conduit. Trim the conduit so that it just protrudes into the
mud-box. The fit will be loose. Orient the mud-box so that the spa-side remote is
square with the deck or spa wall (see Figure 1). Secure the mud-box and plumbing
together using neutral cure caulking or RTV. Insert the mud-box cover (secure with two
screws) until the deck or spa wall are finished, discard cover when completed (keep
the screws for bracket installation).
Note: If needed, a nipple is provided in the mud-box for drainage. Cut the end of the
nipple and attach a piece of ½-inch tubing. Run the tubing to the appropriate drainage
location away from the spa-side remote before finishing the deck or spa wall.

SPACOMMAND®Spa-Side Remote Installation and User’s Guide
17
The IntelliTouch® Control System supports up to four SpaCommand®Spa-Side Remotes
(EasyTouch®Control System supports one remote). Each remote can control different
functions or the same functions at different locations. Each remote can be assigned as
number 1, 2, 3, or 4. If a different number is not assigned to each installed remote all
remotes are assigned as number iS1. This is useful if you wish to have the same
functions available at different remote locations.
The following steps describe how to manually assign number 2, 3, or 4 to each spa-side
remote.
Note: The first installed spa-side remote is automatically assigned as number IS1.
Additional remotes need to be manually assigned.
To assign additional spa-side remotes (iS2, iS3, or iS4):
1. On the IntelliTouch outdoor control panel, press the Reset button then press
the 1button. The three “System Control” LEDs will start flashing (see page
16).
2. On the remote, press the both the DOWN arrow button and the 1button at the
same time while the outdoor control panel LEDs are flashing.
3. The remote display will show SHA.
4. The four green remote LEDs behind circuit buttons will be illuminated. Do one
of the following:
• For the second remote, press 2 button. IS2 is displayed.
• For the third remote, press 3 button. IS3 is displayed.
• For the fourth remote, press 4 button. IS4 is displayed.
5. The remote red LEDs will start to flash for about a minute. Wait until they stop
flashing. Repeat steps 2-4 for each remote.
6. On the outdoor control panel, press the Reset button. The spa-side remote is
now configured.
Note: To configure the auxiliary buttons on the spa-side remote, refer to IntelliTouch
control system Installation and User’s Guide (P/N 521075)
