Compatibility
This product is compatible with all Pro Logic controls and with Aqua Logic controls
operating software revision r2.60 or higher. T o verify the software level of your Aqua
Logic control: Press the Menu button (possibly multiple times) until “Diagnostic
Menu” is displayed. Next, press the “>” or “<“ keys (possibly multiple times) until the
main and display software revision levels are displayed (the “main” rev should be
r1.10 or higher).
If the software revision level is less than r2.60 contact the Goldline T echnical Service
Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM Eastern at 908-355-7995 for information on upgrades.
This Base Station can communicate with the spaside remote (AQL2-SS-RF), the wireless wall mount and tabletop remote display/keypads (AQL2-Wx-RF-PS-x, AQL2-TxRF-PS-x, AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4-x) and the Aqua Pod handheld remote control (AQL2-POD).

INSTALLATION
Installation is very easy and should just take a few minutes. For most installations the
Base Station will mount directly on the ProLogic or Aqua Logic main control unit (see
description and diagram below). For some installations where the remote devices are
a long distance from the Base Station or where there are interfering walls (eg. A steel
shed in the yard or a steel reinforcing grid inside a stucco wall on the house), the Base
Station may have to mounted remotely from the control unit in order to achieve
reliable communications. Refer to the instructions and diagram on page 3 for more
information regarding remote mounting.
Direct Mounting on Pro Logic or Aqua Logic Control Unit
Disconnect power and then remove the panel from the Pro Logic or Aqua Logic
control unit. Remove the knock-out on the upper left side of the enclosure and mount
the RF Base Station. Secure the Base Station in place by firmly tightening the nut from
inside of the enclosure. Lastly, plug the pigtail cable into the connector labeled
“Wireless Connector” on thePro Logic/ Aqua Logic main circuit board.

Remote Mounting of the Base Station
The Base Station can be mounted up to 500 feet away from the Pro Logic or Aqua
Logic control unit. This feature is helpful if the main control unit is located a long
distance from the pool area or if there are buildings that may interfere with the radio
communication between the Base Station and the remote devices.
1. Mount the Base Station on an standard, outdoor rated electrical box.
2 . Cut the each of the 4 wires in the Base Station "pigtail" cable and then install the
connector half into the "Wireless Connector" on the main printed circuit board
(PCB) in the Pro Logic/Aqua Logic control unit.
3. Use a 4 conductor cable and splice both ends of the cable making sure that the
colors match up correctly.

OPERATION
Every Base Station is manufactured with a unique ID code. This allows private,
secure communication with all of your remote devices while ignoring any signals
transmitted by other wireless devices including any other Pro Logic/Aqua Logic
controls in the neighborhood.
IMPORTANT: Before trying to use any remote device: Y ou must "teach" the correct
ID code to the remote device so it knows which Base Station to communicate with.
Refer to the Pro Logic/Aqua Logic Operation Manual or the manual for your remote
device for "teaching" instructions .
The Base Station and remote devices are programmed with a sophisticated protocol
that automatically switches frequencies if other devices are interfering. In the unlikely event that it can not find a usable frequency, it may be necessary to change
channels. Refer to the Pro Logic/Aqua Logic Operation Manual for instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
.1. Can’t find the “T each Wir eless” display: Press the “menu” button (possibly more than once) until “Settings Menu” is displayed. Next, press the “<“ or “>”
buttons (possibly more than once) until “T each Wireless” display appears. If you go
through all of the displays without ever seeing the "Teach Wireless" and you get to
the point where “Settings Menu” appears again, then this means that the Pro Logic/
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 (refer to the Installation section for connection diagram). If
this connector is already plugged in (for more than 30 seconds), then call Goldline
T echnical Service for assistance.
2. “T each Wireless” failed: Ensure that the remote is powered when pressing the
button. This is indicated by a single flash on the LED on the spa-side remote or
a message on the display of the in-house remotes. 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 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 “reteach” 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 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. No communication with remote controls: Try the “T each Wireless” procedure
to ensure that the remote knows the ID code of the Base Station and also what
channel to communicate on. If this procedure is not successful, then refer to the
“Teach Wireless” failed section above.
