The Aqua Logic is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The Aqua Logic can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the Aqua Logic is easy to use, it is important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate the control.

NOTE: This manual assumes that the Aqua Logic has been wired and configured according to the Installation Manual. Aspects of the Aqua Logic that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual.

Power

Automation

The AQL-PS-4 (-8, -16) can control up to 4 (8, 16) high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to 4 (8 for the PS-16) automatic valve actuators, and 2 conventional heaters plus a solar heater. Both manual and automatic (programmed) operation are available. All of the control functions can be programmed at a display/keypad which is part of the main unit (typically located near the pool equipment) or at one or more remote display/keypads.

24V Valve

ctuators

Chlorination

With the use of the optional AQL-CL chlorination kit, the Aqua Logic is also an automatic chlorine generation system for pool and/or spa sanitization. If enabled (see Configuration Menu), this operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool/spa water. The Aqua Logic automatically converts the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool/spa. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle, virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool/spa. The only time you may need to add more salt to the pool/spa is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not evaporation).

The Aqua Logic is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential swimming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool’s cleanliness.

For pools larger than 40,000 gallons, the Aqua Logic can control one or more Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinators to supplement chlorine production.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in a pool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking, a qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriate type, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline pool with electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.

Default Display

Turn power on at the main panel and turn the Aqua Logic control power circuit breaker on. The keypad will show the default display. The default display alternates between the day/time, air and pool (or spa) temperature, pool/spa sanitizer setting, and salt level. Under certain circumstances, additional displays may be added to the default menu to inform you about system operation. Refer to the Programming Menu Flowchart on page 7 to view all possible displays. The Aqua Logic will automatically scroll through all of the available default menu displays or you can press “<” or “>” to manually scroll.

Optional Remote Display/keypad shown--the display keypad on the

main control unit will have a “Service” button in the upper left

corner instead of the “System Off” button.

While the main objective of the Aqua Logic is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system, there may be certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment manually. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the following procedures. Note that if you turn a relay on manually, it will remain on until either you turn it off manually, or the next time the programmed automatic operation would normally turn that relay off. Example: the filter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A to 5:00P daily. If you turn the filter pump on manually at 8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00PM at which time it will turn off and follow the normal program from then on. Manually turning off a relay works in a similar fashion.

Output Names

The Aqua Logic is shipped from the factory with each output labeled with a generic name (e.g. AUX1, VALVE3, etc.). One of the features in the software (see Configuration Menu, page 16) is that each output can be assigned a new name that is more descriptive of the equipment being controlled. This makes it much easier to operate all of the equipment on your pool without having to memorize what each output controls. Insert name labels are also provided to be placed next to each display pushbutton. Since there is no way to know how your particular system is configured, this manual will use the original generic names for each output.

Pool Filter Pump

The pool filter pump can be manually operated whether in Standard (single pump) or Dual Equipment (separate pumps for both pool and spa) mode. When in Standard mode, the display will refer to the pool filter pump as “FILTER”. When in Dual Equipment mode, the display will read “FILTER PUMP”.

Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “FILTER” button to turn on the pump. Pressing the “FILTER” button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, and it is operating, and the “Heater Cooldown” feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you press the “FILTER” button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the “FILTER” LED will flash and the display will indicate “Heater Cooldown”. At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of heater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the “FILTER” button again to turn off the filter pump.

Two Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the “FILTER” button to turn on high speed operation of the filter pump. The “Filter” LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the “FILTER” button again will switch to low speed operation and the “FILTER” LED will flash. If you attempt to switch to low speed shortly after turning on high speed the filter pump will automatically remain in high speed for 3 minutes before switching to low speed to allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.

Freeze Protection: This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the preset freeze protection temperature (see Filter Pump Configuration), the Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water.

Spa Filter Pump (when using Dual Equipment)

Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “AUX1” button to turn on the pump. Pressing the “AUX1” button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, and it is operating, and the “Heater Cooldown” feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you press the “AUX1” button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the Filter LED will flash and the display will indicate “Heater Cooldown”. At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of heater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the “AUX1” button again to turn off the filter pump.

Two Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the “AUX1” button to turn on high speed operation of the filter pump. The “AUX1” LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the “AUX1” button again will switch to low speed operation and the “AUX1” LED will flash. If you attempt to switch to low speed shortly after turning on high speed the filter pump will automatically remain in high speed for 3 minutes before switching to low speed to allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.

Freeze Protection: This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the preset freeze protection temperature, the Aqua Logic will turn on the spa filter pump to circulate the water.

Lights and Aux Outputs

Standard Relay: Manual operation of all relays (LIGHTS, AUX1 and AUX2 for a PS-4 model, LIGHTS, AUX1 - AUX6 for a PS-8 model, or LIGHTS, AUX1 - AUX14 for a PS-16 model) is identical. Assuming that the relay is currently off, simply press the appropriate button to turn on the relay. If the relay does not turn on, it probably is due to the “interlock” feature (which was set up in the Configuration Menu) being activated that requires the filter pump to be running and the valves to be in the pool-only position. This protects pumps and other equipment from possible damage. If the controlled output is on, pressing the appropriate button again will turn off the relay. Manual turn off is disabled if the “Freeze Protection” feature is enabled and the air temperature is less than the selected freeze temperature threshold.

Dimmer Relay: If Lights or an Aux output is configured as a dimmer, pressing the corresponding button will generate a temporary display which shows the dimmer output level (Off - On 100%). Pushing the “+” or “-” button changes the level in increments of 20%. When the desired output level is displayed, press the corresponding button again to turn off the display and return to normal operation. When the Lights or Aux output comes on again (either manually or automatically), the dimmer output level will be the same as the last time that it was set.

Pool/Spa Valves

Pool-only or Spa-only systems: The POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER button has no function.

Standard Pool and Spa systems without spa spillover: In pool-only mode (“POOL” LED illuminated),

press the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SPA” LED illuminated). Pressing the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button again will switch back to pool-only. Note that the filter pump will turn off while the pool/spa valves are turning.

Standard Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the pool-only mode (“POOL”

LED illuminated), press the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SPA” LED illuminated). Press the button again to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LED illuminated). Pressing the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button again will switch back to pool-only mode. Note that the filter pump will turn off while the pool/spa valves are turning.

Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems without spa spillover: The POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER button has no function. The “POOL” LED will always be illuminated.

Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the separate Pool and Spa loops mode (“POOL” LED illuminated) and the Spa Filter is off, press the POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER button to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LED illuminated). Press the POOL/SPA/ SPILLOVER button again to return to the separate Pool and Spa loops mode of operation. Note that the Pool Filter pump will shut off while the pool/spa return valve is turning. The system will automatically switch out of spillover whenever the spa filter pump is turned on.

Note: For Dual Equipment Pool and Spa systems, there is no Spa Only mode.

Heaters

This description applies to Heater1 and to Heater2, if programmed (note that the function of the Valve4 button changes to Heater2 when Heater2 is enabled). Pressing the “HEATER” button causes the Aqua Logic to switch the heater control output between a “forced off” state and a normal, automatic thermostatic control operating state.

System Off

Each remote display/keypad has a red “SYSTEM OFF” button on the upper left corner of the keypad. Pressing this button will turn all outputs off and they will remain off, regardless of any programmed control logic, until either the “SYSTEM OFF” button (on any remote display/keypad) is pressed again or the “SERVICE” button is pressed on the display/keypad at the main unit. The red “SYSTEM OFF” LED will illuminate to indicate that all outputs and being forced off.

WARNING: pressing the “SYSTEM OFF” button overrides any programmed freeze pro-

tection and may cause damage to your system in freezing conditions.

Service

The main unit keypad has a “SERVICE” key. This button is used primarily during servicing of the pool equipment. If you want to completely disable the automatic operation and operate the system manually, you can put the system into Service or Service-Timed mode by pressing the “SERVICE” button. Pressing the “SERVICE” button once will switch the system into service mode which means that all automatic functions are disabled, and the remote display/keypads are disabled (except for manual turn off for emergencies). The red “SERVICE” LED will be illuminated and the Aqua Logic will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken out of service mode.

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again will cause the Aqua Logic to switch to service-timed mode which is very similar to service mode, except that the Aqua Logic will automatically return to normal operation after 3 hours. During service timed operation, the “SERVICE” LED will flash and the time remaining will be displayed on the remote display/keypad(s).

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again, will return the Aqua Logic to normal (automatic) operation. See Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information (page 36) for more information about the service modes.

Automatic System Operation

and Buttons

a Menu

Adjust

The Aqua Logic controls most of your pool equipment automatically in order to minimize the time spent working on your pool. Most of the pool equipment can be programmed to operate on a timeclock basis. In addition, the desired pool and spa temperatures and pool and spa chlorinator settings can be programmed. This section will guide you on how to program the automatic operation for each function.

The programming of automatic functions can be performed at either the main display/keypad located at the pool equipment pad or the in-home remote display/keypad.

Using the programming buttons

There are 5 buttons on each keypad that are used for programming (refer to diagram).

Button

Select Desired Menu

There are 4 steps to programming any function:

Press the “MENU” button to get to the desired menu. Multiple pushes of the button will rotate through all 5 menus and return to the starting point.

Press either key to scroll through the various items in the selected menu. Multiple pushes of the button will rotate through all menu items and return to the starting point. Only menu items that are applicable to your pool will appear. (Example: if you don’t have a spa, then no spa related menu items will appear).

Once a menu item has been selected above, the current setting/selection will appear (flashing) on the display. Use the “+” and/or “-” keys to change this selection. Sometimes “+” and “-“ will adjust a value up or down (example: heater temperature setting or timeclock on/off time). In this case, pushing the “+” or “-” will change the value by one increment and holding the “+” or “-” button in for more than one second will make the values auto scroll. In other cases, the “+” and “-“ may toggle between 2 options (example: turning superchlorination ON or OFF).

Select Items from

After you have adjusted the item to the desired value, simply move on to the next menu item to “lock in” your new setting. The Aqua Logic memory will maintain the setting, even if power is removed for an extended period.

your pool/spa equipment. The chart on the previous page shows the Aqua Logic’s five menus as well as each menu’s specific settings.

The Default Menu is a series of informative displays (temperatures, salt levels, chlorinator settings, etc.) with nothing to set. The Aqua Logic will automatically switch to the default menu when no keys have been pressed for 2 minutes and will then scroll through each display.

The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operation of your pool. The Configuration Menu is used when the system is installed and defines what equipment is connected to each output and the operational logic that will control the equipment. This menu is normally “locked” and should only be used by a pool professional. Details regarding the Configuration menu can be found on page 16.

The “Diagnostic Menu” is primarily intended for the service technician and contains information and details about the system operation that are helpful in troubleshooting, if problems occur.

Settings Menu

The Settings Menu allows you to set all system operating parameters except the timeclock and countdown timers which are part of the Timers Menu.

Important: All of the displays shown below use the default generic names for each function

or output. The Aqua Logic allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equipment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

not shown if Pool

The spa heater setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa” operation and the “Heater1” and/or “Heater2” control is enabled. The heater will turn on whenever the pool/spa valves are in the “spa only” position and the filter pump is running and the spa water temperature is less than the desired temperature setting. If you have both solar heat and a conventional heater and the solar priority option is selected (Configuration Menu), then the conventional heater will only operate when solar heat is NOT available.

For Pool and Spa dual equipment with separate heaters (“Pool and Spa -Dual” and “Htr1=Spa, Htr2=Pool” selected), Spa Heater1 is tied to the Spa Filter (AUX1).

The pool heater setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “pool only” or “pool and spa” operation and the “Heater1” and/or “Heater2” control is enabled. The heater will

turn on whenever the pool/spa valves are in the “pool only” or “spa spillover” position and

This display only appears if the chorinator function is enabled (see Configuration Menu). When you have an unusually high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition that requires a large amount of chlorine to be introduced to the pool, activate the Aqua Logic Super-Chlorinate function. The Aqua Logic will turn on the filter pump, set the pool/spa valves to the correct position, and set the chlorine generator to maximum output. The superchlorinate function will continue for the programmed number of hours (see Timers/Super Chlorinate Hours below) overriding the normal filter pump timeclock settings. At the end of the super chlorinate period, the pool will return to normal operation.

If you manually turn off the filter pump (using the “FILTER” button on any display/keypad), the super chlorinate function terminates. When you turn the filter pump back on, super chlorinate will resume for the balance of the programmed number of hours.

Adjust the desired chlorinator output for spa (0,1,2,3...9,10,15,20...95,100%)

This setting will appear only if the chorinator function is enabled and system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa-std”. It will determine the chlorinator output when the system is operating in spa-only mode. The actual amount of chlorine introduced into the spa is determined by: this setting, the amount of time the pool operates in spa-only mode, the water temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. If the filter pump is running due to the freeze protection feature, then the chlorinator will not operate during this time.

Adjust the current day of the week

Use this function to set the current day of the week and time. These values are used for all the automatic timeclock functions of the Aqua Logic and are also displayed as part of the default menu.

The Aqua Logic is designed to keep the clock running during power outages lasting less than 7 days. If power has been off for longer than 7 days, then the time may have to be reset.

Toggle between Always On and On for 60 sec.

This function controls the blue backlight on the display. If the “On for 60 seconds” option is selected, then the backlight will automatically turn off 60 seconds after the last key is pressed and will stay off until next time a key is pressed.

Note that the Display Light selection only applies to the display keypad that you are currently using. Other display/keypads will not be affected. You need to individually set this option for each display/keypad in the system.

When “Enabled”, the keypad will beep every time a key is pressed. If this audible indication is not desired, select “Disabled”.

This function only applies to the display/keypad that you are currently using. You need to set this option for each display/keypad in your system.

NOTE: This function is not supported on all display/keypads. If the “Enabled” selection is not blinking, then the current software revision of that particular keypad/display does not support the option and it will default to Beeper Enabled.

Press any button on wireless remote

This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the Aqua Logic. Perform this procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the Aqua Logic system. During this procedure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the wireless base station connected to this particular Aqua Logic unit and will reject messages with any other ID codes. If “Base NOT found” is displayed, then the Aqua Logic can not communicate with the transmitter/receiver base station attached to the main unit. If “NOT Successful” is displayed, then the base station did not receive a signal from the remote control. This may be due to the distance between the Base Receiver and the remote device being too great or may be due to interference caused by other RF equipment operating in the neighborhood. Try using the “Change Channel” command and then repeat the “Teach Wireless” command.

Timers Menu

The Timers Menu allows you to set all timeclock and countdown timers which control the automatic operation of your pool/spa system.

Each timeclock has a single on/off program per day. All of the timeclocks are setup (Configuration Menu) either as “all days” or “weekends/weekdays”. If “weekends/weekdays” are selected, you will need to program on times for both weekdays and weekends and off times for both weekdays and weekends, even if you want them to be the same. All times are adjusted in 15 minute increments (9:00A, 9:15A, 9:30A, etc.). If you program the on time equal to the off time (“10:00A to 10:00A”) the output will NEVER turn on. If you want to disable a timeclock, you can set the on time equal to the off time and you will notice the times disappear and the display simply shows “Off”. If, at a later time, you wish to re-activate the timeclock, simply press either the “+” or “-“ buttons to go back to a normal timeclock programming display.

The Countdown timer is programmed in increments of 5 minutes from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to a maximum of “21:00” (21 hours). When “Manual On/Off” is displayed, the countdown timer is disabled and the output will be manually controlled. When a countdown timer is equal or greater than “0:05”, pressing the appropriate output button will turn the output on and start the timer. Pressing the button again will turn the output off or, when the programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off.

This setting changes the channel to be used by the wireless base station and remote(s). If the channel is changed and confirmed, all wireless remote will have to be re-taught. This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the Aqua Logic.
