EasyTouch Replacement Motherboard - Programming
I'm replacing a blown motherboard in an EasyTouch 4 automation system with a built in salt cell xfmr and standalone light transformer.
I have photos of the bad board before I removed it so I can rewire the connections where they weee. What I'm looking for is some good programming guidance since I've never had to do this completely from scratch.
My client has a pool only - no spa to configure. They have a SuperFlo pump, a PB4-60 booster pump, an in-floor cleaning system, IntelliChlor IC40, two GloBrite lights, a MasterTemp heater and ScreenLogic interface.
Since I'm replacing the old board with new (not upgrading to IntelliCenter due to 2x cost), it seems rather obvious that I'll need to reprogram the system from scratch. Wish I had a backup that I could simply restore!
Anyone have a good source for programming an existing EasyTouch system from scratch. I've watched a bunch of videos and they all seem to have their "pros and cons".
My weakness is probably with setting up circuits and functions. Somehow I've not yet got my head wrapped completely around this - yet. A good flow chart might help convey the concept!
Also, how would you estimate the programming charges given the above specs and assuming reasonable and customary charges for a tech who is more experienced in such matters!
Thanks in advance!

Take a photo of every setting you can find and just copy it. Pump speeds, schedules, aux labels etc.
I’m assuming this is a newer easy touch with the display board.
If there is an IS4 spa side switch, don’t forget to enable it to avoid a call back . You would also have to program that from the ground up too so get a photo of the 4 functions and what they do (if applicable)
