Installation
Installation - AQL2-Wx-RF-PS-x Wall Mount models
1. Base Station required: For operation of the AQL2-Wx-RF-PS-x, the Aqua Logic
control unit must have an AQL2-BASE-RF Base Station installed. Note that this
unit will NOT operate with the AQL-BASE-RF Base Station.
2. Select Location: There are several considerations in choosing the location for
the wireless remote display/keypad:
Protected from the weather: The wireless remote display/keypad must be
mounted indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the
wireless remote display/keypad). The wireless remote display/keypad is
designed to mount onto a standard electrical utility box (same size as used
for a triple light switch) or can be mounted directly onto any wall surface.
Within range of Base Station: The wireless remote display/keypad must be
installed within 250 ft. (assuming the signal will have to travel through walls)
or 500 ft. (line of sight) from the base station which is typically mounted on
the Aqua Logic main control unit at the pool equipment pad. The base
station can also be mounted up to 500 ft. away from the main control unit to
shorten the distance between it and any wireless remote. See the "Remote
Mounting of the base station" section of the base station manual for more
details.
Near 120V wall outlet: The wireless remote display/keypad uses a plug-in
power supply with a 6 ft. cable.
3. Mount on wall: The wireless remote display/keypad must be mounted indoors
or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the display/keypad). Refer
to the diagram on the following page.
a. Remove display/keypad baseplate from the cover by inserting a screwdriver
into the designated slot. Lift up on the cover while pushing gently with the
screwdriver. See Fig. 1.
b. Thread the wall mount power supply’s output connector from behind and
through the opening in the left side of the baseplate. See Fig. 2.

Installation - AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x and AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4
Table Top models
1. Base Station required: For operation of the AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x and AQL2-TxRF-P-4 models, the Aqua Logic control unit must have an AQL2-BASE-RF Base
Station installed.
2. Select Location: Because both models are battery operated and designed to be
portable, there are no power supply or mounting concerns like the Wall Mount
units. The Table Top units are intended to be used in the normal living space,
with these considerations:
Protected from the weather: The wireless remote display/keypad should be
used indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the wireless remote display/keypad). Understand that areas that protect the unit
from rain, may still allow condensing humidity (dew, mist, fog, etc.) which
can damage the AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x and AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4 over time. Because
the unit is portable and may be used in different areas around the pool and
home, it's important to understand that it is NOT water resistant and can be
easily damaged if used in the wrong manner.
Within range of base station: The wireless remote display/keypad must be
used within 250 ft. (assuming the signal will have to travel through walls) or
500 ft. (line of sight) from the AQL2-BASE-RF Base Station which is typically
mounted on the Aqua Logic main control unit at the pool equipment pad.
The base station can also be mounted up to 500 ft. away from the main
9
2
control unit to shorten the distance between it and any wireless remote. See
the "Remote Mounting of the Base Station" section of the base station
manual for more details.
2. Powering the AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x/AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4: These models use a rechargeable built-in battery pack which will require an initial charge when you
first receive the unit. Charge the unit for at least 15 hours before attempting to
use it without the charger. Note that both units can be used normally while
connected to the charger.
Charging the battery:
Plug the included wall mount charger into a standard 120VAC wall outlet,
away from the pool area. It is not recommended that you use an extension
cord with this product. Plug the power connector into the rear of the AQL2Tx-RF-PS-x or AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4 and charge for 15 hours. A fully charged
battery will provide over 400 one-minute uses under typical conditions.
About battery power:
When the charger is not plugged into the AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x or AQL2-Tx-RFP-4, the unit uses battery power and will take steps to extend battery life.
After one minute of no button presses by the user, the unit will show a brief
display and will go into "sleep" mode (pg. 5). To wake it up, simply press
any button on the keypad. The button press will not perform any function
except waking the unit. Once awake, any subsequent button presses will
perform their normal functions.
When the charger is plugged in, the unit uses wall power while it also charges
the battery. It will always be "awake", as long as it's plugged into the
charger.
Teach Wireless Fail.

Please try again.
This is usually caused by a button being held down for more than 3 seconds,
falsely triggering the Teach Wireless mode. It can also be displayed if the Aqua
Logic is not in the Teach Wireless mode. If the Aqua Logic is in Teach Wireless,
then the radio signal may be too weak—try moving closer to the Aqua Logic
main control unit base station.

An internal problem has occurred in the wireless remote display/keypad. Remove the display/keypad from the wall mount base (see diagram on page 2) and
write down the model number and serial number. Call the Goldline Tech support
department (Monday through Friday, from 8AM to 8PM eastern time) to find out
how to obtain a replacement wireless remote display/keypad.
Note that the battery will slowly lose charge if the unit is not plugged into
the wall, even if it is not used. The battery will need to be charged every 1 2 months, depending on usage.
The AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x and AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4 will display a series of information about its status and the status of the battery. Refer to the "Operation"
section of this manual for an explanation of each of these displays.

5. Display backlight turns off after a period of time:
Models running off wall power: The display backlight should always illuminate
when you press any key on the unit. If it turns off after a period of time, you can
stop this by pressing the menu key (possibly multiple times) until "Settings
Menu" appears. Next press the "<" or ">" key (possibly multiple times) until
"Display Light" appears. At this point, pressing either "+" or "-" will allow you to
select either "Always On" or "On for 60 sec.". After you have selected the
desired operation, press the "Menu" button to lock in your setting. Note that this
selection applies to this wireless remote display/keypad only. Repeat the process
of each display/keypad in the system.
6. Display backlight always on
Models running off wall power: The display backlight should always illuminate
when you press any key on the unit. If it remains on after 60 seconds have
elapsed since the last button push, you can stop this by pressing the menu key
(possibly multiple times) until "Settings Menu" appears. Next press the "<" or
">" key (possibly multiple times) until "Display Light" appears. At this point,
pressing either "+" or "-" will allow you select either "Always On" or "On for 60
sec.". After you have selected the desired operation, press the "Menu" button to
lock in your setting. Note that this selection applies to this display/keypad only.
Repeat the process for each display/keypad in the system.
7.
The last keypress
was not received
This is usually a temporary problem caused by interference from other equipment that is using the same radio frequency. Try pressing the button again. If
this doesn’t work, go to the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel on any other
Aqua Logic display/keypad and select another channel. Note that after you
change the channel you will have to "re-teach" every wireless remote device in
the system.
8.
The base station
is not responding
If this is the first time you are using your remote, or if you have just installed a
new base station, run the "Teach Wireless" procedure from any other Aqua
Logic display/keypad. Also, the radio signal may be too weak—try pointing the
remote in the direction of the pool equipment or try moving closer to the pool
equipment. If that doesn’t work, then there may be other equipment that is using
the same frequency. Go to the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel on any other
Aqua Logic display/keypad and select another channel. Note that after you
change the channel you will have to "re-teach" every wireless remote device in
the system.
Installation - all models
1. Teach the unique Aqua Logic ID code: The base station attached to the Aqua
Logic control unit has a unique ID code that ensures that your unit will not affect

OPERATION
Operation - all models
The wireless remote display/keypad communicates with the base station on the Aqua
Logic control unit using RF (radio frequency) technology. All of the display information is transmitted from the Aqua Logic control unit to the wireless remote display/
keypad and all the button press information is transmitted by the wireless remote
display/keypad unit back to the Aqua Logic control unit.
Battery dead!
Please charge now!
This display is shown briefly, immediately before the unit shuts down. The Table Top
models will not operate again (to protect the battery) until it is plugged into the
charger. It can be used immediately while connected to the charger.
If the display information is not being updated on a regular basis or if the Aqua Logic
is not responding to buttons being pressed, then refer to the Troubleshooting section for assistance in resolving these problems.
When power is turned on to Wall Mount models, or when the Table Top models
"wake up", all the LED indicators will flash briefly, the display backlight will illuminate,
and the following display will appear for a short period of time:
Goldline Aqua Logic
RFDisplay r04.00
The "r04.00" is the software revision level. The actual revision level for your wireless
remote display/keypad may be different. Refer to the Aqua Logic Operation Manual
for complete operating instructions.
Operation - Table Top models
Because the AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x and AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4 is battery operated, it displays
various information about its condition and the status of its battery. Refer to the
section below for an explanation of these displays:
Shutting down to
save battery power
After one minute of no button presses, the AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x and AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4
will briefly show this display and go into "sleep" mode. This mode conserves the
battery power while the remote is not in use. While asleep, all lights and the display
will be off. To "wake" the unit up, push any button on the keypad.
Refreshing display
RFDisplay r04.00
When the AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-x or AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4 "wakes" up, it will show this display
while it collects status information from the Aqua Logic control unit.
Please plug in to
charge battery
When the battery is low, the Table Top models will alternate between this display and
the normal status display. Under typical conditions, there are at least 50 more oneminute uses available when this display is first shown. The battery will slowly lose
charge if the unit is not plugged into the wall, even if it is not used.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Can’t find the "Teach Wireless" display: From the Aqua Logic control (or any
direct wired display/keypad) press the "menu" button (possibly more than once)
until "Settings Menu" is displayed. Next, press the "<" or ">" buttons (possibly
more than once) until the "Teach Wireless" display appears. If you get to the
point where "Settings Menu" appears again, then this means that the Aqua
Logic control unit is not communicating with the base station. Check that the 4
wire cable from the base station is plugged into the "wireless" connector on the
main printed circuit board. If this connector is already plugged in (for more than
30 seconds), then call Goldline Technical Service for assistance.
2. "Teach Wireless" failed: Ensure that the remote is powered when pressing the
button. This is indicated by any message on the display of the remote. If the
remote is powered, then the next most likely cause is that the distance between
the base station and the remote is too great—try moving the remote closer to the
receiver. Lastly, there may be other equipment in the neighborhood that is using
the same frequency. To see if this is the case, go to the Settings Menu/Wireless
Channel and select another channel. Note that after you change the channel you
will have to "re-teach" every wireless remote device in the system.
3. Unreliable communication with remote devices: The most likely cause is that
the distance between the base station and the remote is too great—try moving
the remote closer to the base station. Lastly, there may be other equipment in the
neighborhood that is using the same frequency. To see if this is the case, go to
the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel and select another channel. Note that after
you change the channel you will have to "re-teach" every wireless remote device
in the system.
4. Wireless display/keypad not functioning (no display, no LEDs illuminated):
Wall Mount models: If the display/keypad located on the main unit is working
correctly, check that there is input power to the wireless display/keypad. Make
sure that the wall mount power supply is plugged into an active 120VAC outlet
and its output connector is plugged into the wireless remote display/keypad.
Table Top models: If the display/keypad located on the main unit is working
correctly, check that there is input power to the wireless display/keypad. Plug
the charger into an active 120VAC outlet and its output connector into the wireless remote display/keypad. If this doesn't work, plug charger into the unit, plug
the charger into an active 120VAC outlet, wait 5 seconds, unplug the charger, wait
5 seconds, and then plug it back in again.
