My friend who has a similar setup tells me it should be able to handle the 50 feet distance with no issues. The final wireless distance is going to be about 50 feet eventually once we get everything working correct. I will probably try putting it back to wireless I'm not getting sign that it's actually connecting to the panel except for the red light on the protocol adapter. So I tried bypassing the wireless entirely and hooking up the Intellitocuh Panel - protocol adapter - ethernet - wifi extender. So we tried it with the pentiair wireless antenna kit literally 1 foot away adn further back - very occasionally it would connect and then disconnect. I called pentair and was on hold 30-40 minutes and I finally had to hang up due to work schedule. I've tried searching the web and I don't see any info.
I am guessing it must be a defective protocol adapter and I'm going to call pentair next week and see if they can send me a replacement or if the pool guy can try a new kit.Īny ideas what this could be? My friend has the same system with no issues installed several years ago by a different company. Additionally there's an app called "screenlogic configurator" - if I run it I can log in and then it says "connecting to screenlogic" and nothing happens but I see a flashing yellow square in the bottom left. I'm wondering if that "unknown" is a problem. It then shows Unknown / Intellichlor and firmware 2.180. Adapter POOL: 5.2 Build 738 (I updated the firmware). I downloaded the remote monitoring too - its shows connection OK. I even tried bypassing the wireless link and connecting the 4 wires directly to the protocol adapter and the protocol adapter ethernet to a wifi-extender - still same issue - all the temp, etc all blank and the buttons are doing nothign but I am able to login so the internet connection to the device is ok. I've tried resetting the protocol adapter and power cycling the equipment. My pool guy and I have checked the connections on the panel. A total of 4 times I got it to connect for a few minutes over the course of a week. The problem was as described above - but occasionally I was able to get it to connect and show the temp and lights but as soon as I closed the app and tried it again it would stop. I tried it with the wireless interface (my kit looks like this: Pentair Screenlogic Interface & Wireless Connection Kit for EasyTouch & IntelliTouch Control Systems | 522104). this doesn't appear to be an internet issue or an issue with my network) but the link from the protocol adapter to the panel doesn't seem to be working as I will click the buttons to turn on the lights pump, all of them do nothing on the app. It is definitely connecting via the app to the protocol adapter (i.e. The panel is working fine, but I cannot get the protocol adapter to communicate no matter what. It has an intelliflo pump, and intellichlor (the wire is currently disconnected) and as well as smart intelli-? heater. also a useful feature for turning off lighting and spa jets.I have a new pentair system just installed for a new pool. The time period can be anywhere from 1 minute to 24 hours.
