Standard All Weather Box
Wiring Instructions - 110 VAC 3 Wire Motor Using the Touch Pad
Pool Cover Controller A2463-B/A2469-B
* The control switch is mounted in a standard
depth single gang all weather box.
* Motor connections are made in an all-weather
box mounted as high as possible in the cover box.
* Use water tight connections at all wire junction
locations.
* The control switch must be mounted in a
location where 100% of the pool surface is visible.
* The Red and Blue wires from the motor connect
to the directional wires on the controller. The red and
blue wires may be switched with each other to
change the motor direction.
* If the power does not come on the display check the
power supply for 110V.
* If the power comes on the display but the motor does
not run at all, check the neutral wire and it’s connections.
* Disconnect wires from the controller and test for all
connections for continuity.
* Using a test cord, disconnect wires in the all-weather
box and connect the neutral wire to the white motor wire
Troubleshooting Tips:
Installation Notes:
* The power circuit should be sized for 15
amps and must be sized accordingly.
* Use a 15amp GFCI breaker at the panel.
*Perform a pool calibration on Touch Pad
after installation for accurate current limits
and operational cycle counts.
Please see programming instructions for
further details.
and connect the hot wire to the red motor wire. The
motor should run. Then switch the hot wire over to the
blue motor wire. The motor should run in the other
direction.
If the motor runs in both directions using this method,
the trouble is in the components or wiring leading up to
that point in the system.

Mounting and Configuration Instructions for
Remote Touch Pad Applications Part# A2523-B
* Review wiring instruction for proper installation
of Remote Host Touch Pad or L9965 for proper
installation of Feature Controller Host Devices.
*Remote Touch Pad is intended for fixed mounting
operation only! For safety please mount the
remote Touch Pad in a fixed location where
100% of the pool surface is visible.
* Pool calibration should be performed on the
remote host Touch Pad in situations where the
remote is being connected to a remote host
Touch Pad.
* If purchasing the remote with a remote host or
feature controller the device should already be
synchronized with the host device from the factory.
* If the remote needs to be synchronized to a host
do so by doing the following.
On the Host Device:
The host device will have to be activated to
allow the remote to connect. To perform the
activation do the following:
For Feature Controllers (A0585)
Press the RF Sync Button on the control board. You
will have 4 minutes to connect a remote after
initializing the feature controller host .
For Host Touch Pads A2525-B (the hardwired unit).
* If the power does not come on the display check that
batteries are installed and plugged into the back of
the remote Touch Pad.
* If you receive a “No Host Found” message when the
Touch Pad comes on, check to make sure that the host unit
is turned on. Let the unit power back off and retry. If
message still occurs reset the radio module and resync the
device.
Troubleshooting Tips:
Connection Notes: 1. Log in to the Host Touch Pad
using the service code “5991”.
2. Select “Press for Service”.
3. Select “5” for menu.
4. Use up and down arrows to select “User
Defaults”.
5. Use up and down arrows to select “Connect
Remote”.
You will have 4 minutes to connect a remote after
initializing the Touch Pad host.
If “Connect Remote” option is not found ensure
device is setup as a remote host under the
“Remote Module” Option in the “User Defaults”
Menu.
On the Remote Device:
1. Log in using the service code “5991”.
2. Select “Press for Service” and
Select “5” for menu.
3. Select “User Defaults”.
4. Select “Remote Module”.
5. Set to “Remote” and Select 5.
6. Follow On screen instructions.
* Use only (3) AA Alkaline Batteries. Do not mix
battery types! Do not use old batteries with new
batteries.
Please see programming instructions for further
details.
* Radio waves work best when in line of site of
antennas. If you are having intermittent or no opera-
tion with your device, try to reposition the devices such
that they are line of site to each other. Avoiding metal
and concrete walls will also help with intermittent
signals.
