NOTE: This manual assumes that the Pro Logic has been wired and configured according to the Installation Manual. Aspects of the Pro Logic that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual.
Automation
The PL-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.
1
Chlorination
With the use of the optional AQL-CL chlorination kit, the Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro 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.

Manual System Operation
While the main objective of the Pro 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 .
T o 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 Pro Logic is shipped from the factory with each output labeled with a generic name (e.g. AUX1,
V AL VE3, 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 “FIL TER”. When in Dual Equipment mode, the display will read “POOL FIL TER”.
Single Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “FIL TER” button to turn on the pump.
Pressing the “FIL TER” 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 “FIL TER” button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn of f, the “FIL TER” LED will flash and the
display will indicate “Heater Cooldown”. At this point the filter pump will automatically turn of f after 5
minutes of heater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the
“FIL TER” button again to turn off the filter pump.
3
T wo Speed or Variable Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the “FIL TER”
button to turn on high speed operation of the filter pump. The “Filter” LED will illuminate continuously .
Pressing the “FIL TER” button again will switch to low speed operation and the “FIL TER” LED will flash.
Note that if the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at high(est) speed for 3 minutes
regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps allow the pump to prime and establish normal
water flow .
Freeze Pr otection: 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 Configuration), the Pro 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 of f 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.
T wo Speed or V ariable Speed Spa Filter Pump: If the pump is currently of f, 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.
Note that if the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at high(est) speed for 3 minutes
regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps allow the pump to prime and establish normal
water flow .
Freeze Pr otection: 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 Pro Logic will turn on the spa filter pump to circulate the water.
Lights and Aux Outputs
Standar d 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 V alves
Pool-only or Spa-only systems: The POOL/SP A/SPILLOVER button has no function.
Standar d Pool and Spa systems without spa spillover: In pool-only mode (“POOL” LED illuminated),
press the “POOL/SP A/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SP A” LED illuminated).
Pressing the “POOL/SP A/SPILLOVER” button again will switch back to pool-only . Note that the filter
pump will turn off while the pool/spa valves are turning.

Standar d Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the pool-only mode (“POOL”
LED illuminated), press the “POOL/SP A/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SP A”
LED illuminated). Press the button again to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LED
illuminated). Pressing the “POOL/SP A/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/SP A/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/SP A/SPILLOVER
button to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LED illuminated). Press the POOL/SP A/
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 V alve4
button changes to Heater2 when Heater2 is enabled). Pressing the “HEA TER” button causes the Pro
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
“SER VICE” 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.
W ARNING: pr essing 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 “SER VICE” 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 “SER VICE” button. Pressing
the “SER VICE” 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 “SER VICE” LED will be illuminated and the Pro Logic will remain in this mode of
operation until manually taken out of service mode.
Pressing the “SER VICE” button again will cause the Pro Logic to switch to service-timed mode which is
very similar to service mode, except that the Pro Logic will automatically return to normal operation after
3 hours. During service timed operation, the “SER VICE” LED will flash and the time remaining will be
displayed on the remote display/keypad(s).
Pressing the “SER VICE” button again, will return the Pro Logic to normal (automatic) operation. See
Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information for more information about the service modes.

Automatic System Operation
The Pro 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).

The Pro Logic’ s six main menus have many items in each that allow you to customize the operation of your
pool/spa equipment. The chart on the previous page shows the Pro Logic’ s six 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 Pro 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 18.
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.
The “Maintenance Menu” will be displayed only if the optional AQL-CHEM is used and the Sensing
System is enabled in the Chemistry Config. W izard. This menu is used to perform functions relating to the
AQL-CHEM ORP and pH sensing kit.
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 Pro Logic allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equipment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

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 Pro Logic Super-Chlorinate function. The Pro 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 “FIL TER” 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.

This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the Pro Logic. Perform
this procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the Pro Logic system. During
this procedure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the wireless base
station connected to this particular Pro Logic unit and will reject messages with any other ID
codes. If “Base NOT found” is displayed, then the Pro Logic can not communicate with the
11
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 “T each 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.
Important:All of the displays shown below use the default generic names for each function
!
or output. The Pro Logic allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equipment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

For one speed pumps, this is the first filter timeclock and will determine the normal hours of
filtration for the pool. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled and filter
operation set to “spillover”, the valves will automatically switch to spillover mode at the start
of the filtration period. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled and filter
operation set to “pool only”, the valves will switch to the pool-only position. Refer to page
11 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

For two speed or variable speed pumps, this setting will be the period of time when the pump
runs at high speed (the word “Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Filter Hi”).
There is a separate timeclock for the low speed operation (see below). If the high speed and
low speed periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap
period.
There are several reasons the filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclock
period set above. These include super-chlorination, spa operation, manual operation, heater
cooldown, freeze protection, heater-extend and solar-extend.

For one speed pumps, this is the second filter timeclock.
For two speed or variable speed pumps, this timeclock will set the normal time period for
filter pump low speed operation (the word “Filter T2” in the display will be replaced with
“Filter Lo”). If the filter pump is off for more than 30 seconds, the pump will first turn on at
high speed for 3 minutes to prime and establish water flow. Afterwards, it will drop down to
low speed for the remainder of the programmed low speed time period. While this time clock
will override the high speed timeclock (see above), there are several reasons why the pump
will automatically switch to high speed operation during this programmed time period. These
include manual operation, spa operation, or heating operation.

This menu is only available if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spastd”. During the programmed spa time, the Pro Logic will move the pool/spa valves into the
“spa-only” position and turn on the filter pump. The heater will automatically heat the spa
up to the programmed spa temperature. This programmed spa operation will take precedence
over all other automatic functions, only manual operation of the filter button or pool/spa
valve button will override this function.
If your pool has a separate jet pump or blower controlled by Aux1 and/or Aux2 , you will have
to program those separately.

Group Function
The Pro Logic offers the ability to assign a Group function to a particular button. Instead of a button
controlling one particular function, the button can be programmed to initiate a sequence of commands that
are programmed in the Configuration Menu. For example, instead of the Lights button turning on and off
the pool light only , the button can be programmed to turn on the pool light, turn on the bug light, turn off the
pool cleaner, turn on and dim the patio lights, turn on the music, etc. all at the same time. This convenient
feature is offered on all Aux buttons, both Valve buttons and the Lights button. The Pro Logic can be
programmed to control up to four groups. Refer to this section when programming Group commands.
Before assigning and configuring all the desired functions and their control parameters, the group itself must
be configured. The options for controlling groups are Manual On/Off, Countdown T imer, and T imeclock.
The group will turn on and off based on this selection.
When setting up a Group function in the Configuration Menu, the first menu allows you to select the control
parameter (how the group is activated and de-activated) and the second menu allows you to select which
Pro Logic functions are to be controlled in the group.

Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the
Pro Logic is configured. For example, if the Pro Logic is configured for a single heater, “Heater2” will not
be available as an option in the Group menu. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be displayed
but can’t be changed. Note that the function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an option and
will automatically turn on when the group is activated. For example, if programming a Group function
under the Lights menu, the Lights function will not be offered as an option and the Lights function will
automatically turn on with the group.
The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions of fer “Unaffected”, which should
be selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters will
depend on the particular function selected.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that you activate will
override any previous Group functions.
Heater Setpoints in Groups
The Pro Logic can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) while
running group commands. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal,
while the group is activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting.
Changing the setpoint while the Group is running will make the Group release the alternate setpoint control
and revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will af fect the normal
heater setting. The next time the Group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint that
was originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. T o change the setpoint while the Group is running,
go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The setpoint will
change and be retained as the new normal heater setpoint.
17
Super Chlorinate
The Pro Logic can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command.
When the Group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. Super Chlorinate will continue until the
preset time expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until the Group turns of f. Changing the
Super Chlorinate state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlorinate assigned Aux/Lights/Valve button will temporarily cancel the Group’ s control of Super Chlorinate
until the next time the Group is activated.
Variable Speed in Groups
The Pro Logic can be programmed to use alternate pump speeds while running group commands. This
allows the pump(s) to be set to a higher or lower speed than normal, while the group is activated. When the
group stops, the speed will return to its normal setting.
Changing the speed setting while the group is running will make the group release the alternate speed
setting and revert back to the normal speed setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the
normal speed setting. The next time the group is activated, the speed will return to the group speed setting
that was originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. T o change the speed setting while the group is
running, go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The speed
setting will change to the normal speed setting.
PS-8 and PS-16 Virtual Models
Pro Logic V irtual models are similar to standard PS models, but offer additional auxiliary outputs with
limited functionality . The PL-PS-8-V is similar to the PL-PS-4 with 4 additional Aux outputs. The PLPS-16-V is similar to the PL-PS-8 with 8 additional outputs. The additional aux outputs on virtual models
can only be assigned to the Super Chlorinate function (if the Chlorinator is enabled) or to a Group function.
Refer to the following programming information when assigning functions to the virtual auxiliary outputs.

pushing the POOL/SP A button on the display/keypad will have no effect. If “Pool and SpaStd” is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connected
to the Pro Logic. Pressing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will allow the
homeowner to alternate between pool and spa operation. If “Pool and Spa-Dual” is selected,
then only the Pool/Spa return valve actuator should be connected to the Pro Logic.
19
Heaters
This menu will only appear if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Dual”. This allows the
heater(s) to either be shared between the pool and spa (“Shared” selected) or for Heater1 to
be dedicated to the spa and Heater2 to be dedicated to the pool (“Htr1=Spa, Htr2=Pool”
selected).
Spa CountDn
This menu will a ppear only if Po ol/Spa Setup is set to “Pool and Spa-Std”. This setting is the
time, after you manually switch the Pool/Spa valves to “Spa Only”, until the Pro Logic
automatically returns the valves to their previous positions. It is programmed in increments
of 5 minutes, from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to “21:00” (21 hours). The filter is forced
on during this time period.
Spa Spillover
When spa spillover is “Enabled” and “Pool and Spa-Std”, the homeowner will be able to
rotate through “Pool Only” (both suction and return valves switched to pool), “Spa Only”
(both suction and return valves switched to spa) and “Spillover” (suction valve switched to
pool and return valve switched to spa) by successive presses of the “Pool/Spa” button. For
“Pool and Spa-Dual”, only “Pool Only” and “Spillover” are available.
Filter Operation
If “Spa Spillover” is selected, the Pro Logic will automatically switch the pool/spa suction
and return valves to “spillover” at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or
when the super-chlorinate function is turned on. The valves will remain in this position for
the remainder of the super-chlorinate period. This option is usually preferable because both
the pool and spa water will be filtered and sanitized.
If “Pool Only” is selected, then the Pro Logic will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool
only” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the superchlorinate function is turned on. This may be desirable on some systems with in-floor
cleaners because it allows the cleaner to operate all the time the pool is being filtered and/or
the super chlorinate is running.
V1=Aux1, V2=Aux2
This menu appears only if the Pool/Spa Setup is “Pool Only” or “Spa Only”. When enabled,
V alve 1 (return) will follow the Aux1 output and Valve 2 (suction) will follow the Aux2 output.
When disabled (default), the return and suction pool/spa valves function normally.
Filter Off Valve Change
This menu appears only if Pool/Spa setup is set to “Pool and Spa”. When enabled (default),
the filter pump will shut off for 35 seconds whenever the Pool/Spa valves are turning. The
pump will NOT shut off when the heater has Cooldown enabled and is either on or in the
Heater Cooldown mode.

Filter Name
The Pro Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Filter Pump, Pool
Filter, Spa Filter , etc.) to the filter relay. This will make the Pro Logic more user friendly to the
homeowner when they want to control the filter equipment. A sheet of small name labels is
included with the Pro Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that appropriate
pushbuttons can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.
Filter Pump
For 2-speed pumps: When a 2-speed pump is configured, one of the AUX relays must also
be configured to control the low speed motor winding on the pump. Refer to the appropriate
sections in the Installation manual for specific information regarding the control logic for 2speed and variable speed pump operation.
For the Hayward Tristar variable speed pump: The Filter relay is used to supply input power
to the VSC pump control. The relay will be on when the filter pump output is on. When the
filter pump output is off, the relay will be off. On , off and speed is controlled by commands
sent to the pump.
Lowest Speed
This is the lowest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the
lower limit in the Low Speed Settings Menu. Set lowest speed from 10% (default) to 50%.
Highest Speed
This is the highest speed that the variable speed pump is allowed to run at. It is used as the
upper limit in the High Speed Settings Menu. Also, this is the speed that the pump will run
at during the first 3 minutes of operation anytime the pump has been off for more than 30
seconds. Set highest speed from 20% to 100% (default).
21
Flow Monitor
This feature will help protect the filter pump from damage due to no flow . When used with a
Goldline flow switch, the Pro Logic monitors the state of water flow when the filter pump is
on. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the Pro Logic will shut down the pool
pump and the “Check System” LED will indicate an error. The error will be cleared the next
time the pump is turned on.
Freeze Protection
Freeze protection is used to protect the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
If freeze protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the freeze threshold (see below), the Pro Logic will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and
Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 19), the valves will also alternate
between the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valves
are turning. The chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason the pump
is running.
Freeze Protection Speed
This menu only appears if freeze protection is enabled and the pump is configured for 2speed or variable speed pump operation. This is the speed that the pump will run at during
freeze protection operation. Select high (default) or low speed operation.
Freeze Protection Temperature
Select the temperature to be used for freeze protection. T emperature is adjustable from 33ºF
- 42ºF (1ºC - 6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that have

Heater Name
The Pro Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Gas Heater , Heat
Pump, etc.) to each of the heater control functions. This will make the Pro Logic much more
user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various heaters on or off or set
temperatures. A sheet of small name labels is included with the Pro Logic main unit and each
remote display/keypad so that appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the same as the
name that you have assigned.
Heater Cooldown
This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When
enabled, the Pro Logic will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heater turns
off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown, X:XX
remaining” message will scroll on the display .
When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once will
cause the heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filter
LED flashing and message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will override
the heater cooldown operation and turn the filter pump off.
For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1
and/or Heater2 cooldown affect the filter pump. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 is associated
with the spa filter and Heater2 with the pool filter.
Heater Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings
Menu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn
off time when the heater is operating.
For a Pool/Spa Setup selection of “Pool Only”, “Spa Only” or “Pool and Spa-Std”, Heater1
and/or Heater2 will keep the filter pump running. For “Pool and Spa-Dual”, Heater1 will keep
the spa filter running and Heater2 will keep the pool filter running.

Solar
The Solar configuration menu will NOT appear if “Pool and Spa - Dual” has been selected in
the Pool/Spa setup menu. If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps
must be taken to ensure proper operation of the solar heating system. If the solar is operated
by a valve, then a valve (V alve3 or Valve4) output must be setup for solar logic (page 30). If
the solar is operated by a pump, then one of the AUX relays must be set up for solar logic
(page 27). Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed. This sensor is typically
mounted near the collector array and is used to sense whether sufficient solar heat is available.
2423
If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature is
less than the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water by at
least 8ºF . The desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner
will be prompted to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings. Depending on
the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.
Solar Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time if solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar
valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the
filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.
Solar Priority
If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep
the conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most cost
effective way of heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater
will operate normally .
Allow Low Speed
This menu only appears if the pool filter is configured for 2-speed or variable speed operation.
During default operation, high speed mode is used whenever the solar heater is on. If Allow
Low Speed is enabled, low speed pump operation will be allowed during solar heating except
for the first 3 minutes after solar heat turns on.

Lights Name
The Pro Logic allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Pool Light, Spa
Light, Deck Light, etc.) to this control function. Note that other lights may be assigned to
other Aux outputs. This will make the Pro Logic much more user friendly to the homeowner
when they want to turn various lights on or off. A sheet of small name labels is included with
the Pro Logic main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Lights” pushbutton
25
can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned. At this time it is also a good
idea to make sure that the relay in the control box is also labeled (hand written) with the same
name as a help to technicians who may service this system at a later date.
Lights Function
Although designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to the
Aux relays. If pool lights are wired to the lights relay , some options including Solar function,
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection are not
applicable and should be disabled. If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to
control other pool devices that may require these options. The function of each option is
shown below .
Manual On/Off—the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS
button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The
lights relay will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in Operation
Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the Pro Logic will turn on the lights relay whenever
the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed”
filter pump option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
Timeclock – the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock
in the Settings Menu (see Settings Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can
also be used to turn the output on and off.
Solar – the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter
pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature
setting. It is important to note that “Solar” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for
proper operation to occur.
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump – the Pro Logic will turn on the lights relay
whenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. “Pool
and Spa-Dual” (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config.
menu) must be selected for proper operation.
Group – the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when
the Group function is terminated. See Lights Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
pH Dispense –When Chemistry Sensing is enabled and pH Reduction Control is NOT
disabled, the Pro Logic will turn on the Lights relay when there is a need to energize the pH
dispensing device. The pH Dispense function can be assigned to any Aux or the Lights
output. Once programmed for pH Dispense, the Lights button will have no function. Requires
the use of the AQL-CHEM sensing kit.
Lights Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for
the Lights output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is
desired. When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Lights output is manually turned on, the “+”
and “-” buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next
time the lights are turned from off to on.
26
Lights Interlock
If enabled, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer,
Timeclock) selected above and turn the lights relay off when: filter pump is off, first 3
minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the
pool/spa suction return valves are in any position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3
minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not
available for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, group, super chlorinate or pH dispense
functions.
Lights Group
The Lights Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the
“Lights” button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 16 for specific programming
information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command
will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Lights Freeze Protection
This function helps protect equipment that is wired to the lights relay against freeze damage.
If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze
temperature threshold, the Pro Logic will energize the lights relay . IMPOR T ANT : this only
enables operation of the lights relay during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to
enable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Freeze Protection is not available for
low speed filter pump, dimmer, group, super chlorinate or pH dispense functions.
NOTE: The configuration parameters for all Aux outputs are same as shown below for Aux1. PS-4: Aux1 and Aux2.
PS-8: Aux1 through Aux6. PS-16: Aux1 through Aux14. Also note that for the PS-16, Valves7, 8, 9 and 10 are turned

Quick “How To” Guide
Operate the Spa—Manually
1.Press the “Pool/Spa” button to go to “spa-only” operation (“SP A” LED illuminated). In some
cases, this may take more than one press of the button.
2.If the filter pump is not already on, press the “FIL TER” button to turn it on.
3.If the spa is below the desired temperature, the heater will turn on automatically when the filter
pump is on and the valves are in the spa-only position. If you have not already set the desired
temperature for the spa, see “Set Heater T emperature” below
4.If the spa has a separate jet pump and or blower, determine if the jet pump/blower is controlled by any Aux or the Lights relay (it should be marked on the label inside the door). Then
press the appropriate button to turn on the jets/blower .
Operate the Spa—Automatically
1. Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Timers Menu” is displayed
2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa—all days” or “Spa—weekends” is displayed.
3. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the desired start time, then press “>” to switch to the off
time. Use the “+” and “-“ buttons to adjust the off time. If you are setting the “weekend”
timeclock, press “>” to go to the “weekday” settings.
Note: During the programmed spa time, the valves will automatically switch to the
“spa-only” position, the filter pump will turn on, and, if the spa is not up to the desired
temperature, the heater will start. This operation is the highest priority and will take
precedence over other automatically programmed operations. At the end of the spa
period, the Pro Logic will r eturn to its normally programmed operation state.
Set the Heater Temperature (or turn heater permanently off)
1. Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed
2. Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Heater” or “Pool Heater” is displayed.
3. Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the temperature. If you adjust the temperature below 65ºF or above 104°F the display will indicate “off” and the heater will not operate
regardless of temperature.
Note: Separate temperatures for the pool and spa must be set. If the valves are in the
pool-only or spa spillover positions, then the heater will use the pool setting. If the
valves are in the spa-only position then the heater will operate according to the spa
setting.
Set the Chlorinator Output
1.Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed.
2.Press the “>” button repeatedly until the “Spa Chlorinator” or “Pool Chlorinator” is displayed.
3.Press the “+” or “-“ buttons repeatedly to adjust the setting. If you adjust the setting to 0% the
chlorinator will be off all the time.
34
Note: Separate chlorinator output levels for the pool and spa must be set. If the valves
are in the pool-only or spa spillover positions, then the chlorinator will operate per the
pool setting. If the valves are in the spa-only position then the chlorinator will operate
according to the spa setting. The actual amount of chlorine intr oduced into the pool/spa
is determined by: this output setting, the amount of time the filter pump is running, the
water temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. Also see Start/Stop
Supechlorination below .
St art/Stop Superchlorination
1.Press the “MENU” button repeatedly until “Settings Menu” is displayed
2.Press the “>” button repeatedly until “Super Chlorinate” is displayed.
3.The display will show whether superchlorination is “on” or “off”.
4.Press “+” or “-” to toggle between “on” and “off”
Note: Once started, superchlorination will run for the programmed number of hours
(Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until you manually turn it off.
Superchlorination may be temporarily interrupted for a pr ogrammed spa operation.

turn off function is disabled by manual operation is still permitted. There may be other
automatic or manual operations that prevent the relay/valve from operating—see a
more detailed discussion under Automatic System Operation/T imers Menu/Aux T imeclock
or in T roubleshooting/Diagnostic Information.
35
Enter/Exit Service (or Service—Timed) Mode
1.Go to Pro Logic main unit (normally mounted near the pool equipment)
2.Pressing the “Service” button rotates through normal operation (red LED off), service mode
(red LED on continuously) and service-timed mode (red LED flashing).
Note: This operation can only be performed at the main Pro Logic unit. Both “Service” and “Service-Timed” disable all automatic programmed operations and allow
manual operation from the main unit only. The buttons on the remote display/keypads
will still be able to turn equipment off in case of an emergency, but will not turn any
equipment on. If the system is in “Serviced-Timed” it will automatically switch back to
normal operation at the end of the time period.
Chlorinator Operation / Water Chemistry
General Water Chemistry
Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the Pro Logic Control. If you are NOT
using the chlorinator, it is recommended that you follow all of the other chemistry recommendations besides salt. Refer to the description of the Pro Logic configuration menu for information on enabling/disabling the chlorinator (see page 18).
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Pro Logic are the salt level and stabilizer.
36
Saturation index
The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool
water “balance”. Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±0.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is
corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water . If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and
staining will occur. Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.
Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.1

How to use: Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness,
and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci,and
Ai from your measurements. Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Ai
into the abov e equation. If Si equals .2 or more, sca ling and
staining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation
may occur.

The pool’ s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the Pro Logic’s optional chlorinator function.
NOTE: If the pool does not have new water, add metal remover and non-copper based algaecide to the
pool, per manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures a quick, troublefree transfer to the Pro Logic system.
Salt (When using optional chlorinator function - requires AQL-CL chlorination kit)
Salt Level
Use the chart on the following page to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) should be added to
reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/
liters) if pool size is unknown.

The operating salt level is between 2700-3400 PPM (parts per million) with 3200 PPM being optimal.
Before adding any salt, test the salt level. This is especially important for retrofit installation to older pools
where chlorine added to the pool over time has ended up as salt. If the level is low , determine the number
of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the chart below . A low salt level will reduce the efficiency
of the sanitization and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the Pro Logic to stop
37
chlorinating. The salt in your pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming
season should be minimal. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing,
backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due to evaporation.
Type of Salt to Use
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99.0% pure. This can be found
at most pool stores in 40-80 lb. bags labeled “for use in swimming pools”. Alternatively, use common food
quality or water softener salt that is at least 99.0% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt
pellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, or salt with more than 1%
of yellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.
How to Add Salt
For new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure. Turn the circulating
pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process—do
not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming
from the main drain (use pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration.
Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will most likely decline together .
Use the chart on page 39 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

System Maintenance
T o maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3
months or after cleaning your filter. The Pro Logic will remind you to do this by displaying the message
“Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation.
The Pro Logic electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control’s logic. In
most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum efficiency . In areas where water
is hard (high mineral content) or in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get “out of
balance”, the cell may require periodic cleaning.
Servicing and Cleaning the Pro Logic Cell
Turn off power to the Pro Logic before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed, look inside the cell
and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) on the plates and for any debris
which has passed through the filter and caught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits
are seen, use a high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plastic
or wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape deposits off of
plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually high calcium level in the pool (old
pool water is usually the cause). If this is not corrected, you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The
simplest way to avoid this is to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.
Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not remove the majority
of deposits. T o acid wash, turn of f power to Pro Logic. Remove cell from piping. In a clean plastic
container, mix a 2:1 solution of water to muriatic acid (one gallon of water to two quarts of muriatic acid).
AL W A YS ADD ACID TO WA TER - NEVER ADD WA TER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber gloves
and appropriate eye protection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of the
cell so that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil the wiring before
immersing the cell. The cell should soak for a few minutes and then rinse with a high pressure garden hose.
If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking and rinsing. Replace cell and inspect again periodically .
Winterizing
The Pro Logic electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezing water just as your
pool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experience severe or extended periods of freezing
temperatures, be sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines before any
freezing conditions occur . The electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and should
not be removed.
If you are in an area that only experiences occasional freezing conditions, your Pro Logic system may be
set up to circulate the pool water whenever the air sensor drops to 38ºF . Make sure the air sensor is
recording the correct temperature and is NOT located in the direct sunlight to ensure proper freeze protection operation.
Spring Start-up
When first starting the pool in the spring time, it is highly recommended that you temporarily set the pool
and spa chlorinator settings (Settings Menu/Pool Sanitizer & Spa Sanitizer) to 0% (off) and then manually
shock the pool with any chlorine based shock product and balance the pool water chemistry per the levels
indicated in the Chlorinator Operation section. Make sure to check the salt and stabilizer levels and bring
them up to the recommended levels. Y our local Authorized Goldline Dealer or pool store can recommend
the best chemical treatment for your pool. After the water is clear and balanced, then go back and adjust
the pool and spa chlorinator settings to the appropriate levels. T est the pool chlorine level weekly and
adjust the chlorinator settings up or down accordingly .
It is usually a good idea to also inspect the cell and clean if necessary at the start of the season. See
instructions above.
41
Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Information
The Pro Logic provides 2 different tools to aid in troubleshooting any problems that may occur in your
pool and/or spa system. The Service mode will allow you to disable automatic operation and manually
control most of the equipment (the heater and general purpose Valve3 output are the exceptions). The
Diagnostic Menu will provide some detailed information regarding system operation.
While both of the features are primarily intended for the use of the professional service technician, their
function is fully explained below . If you believe your system is not operating properly or have questions
regarding the operation, call the Goldline T echnical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday , 8AM to
8PM EST at 908-355-7995.
Service Mode
The main unit keypad has a SER VICE button that 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, the optional remote display/keypads are disabled (except for manual turn off for emergencies).
The outputs can be manually controlled by pressing the buttons on the local display/keypad. The red
“SER VICE” LED will be illuminated and the Pro Logic will remain in this mode of operation until manually
taken out of service mode.
Pressing the “SER VICE” button again will cause the Pro Logic to switch to service-timed mode which is
very similar to service mode, except that the Pro Logic will automatically return to normal operation after
3 hours. During service timed operation, the “SER VICE” LED will flash and the time remaining will be
displayed on the remote display/keypad(s).
Pressing the “SER VICE” button again, will return the Pro Logic to normal (automatic) operation.
Check System Indicator
The “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the Pro Logic detects any of the following conditions
that are abnormal and require attention for optimal operation of your pool. Press “<“ or “>” to view all of
the existing “Check System” conditions.
• Inspect Cell -- for optimum operation, you will need to inspect the Pro Logic chlorinator cell approxi-
mately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary . The Pro Logic will automatically remind you when
it is time and display “Inspect Cell, + to reset” as part of the rotating Default Menu. Clean the cell and
then press the “+” button during the “Inspect Cell” display to reset the timer .
• Low Salt/Minerals or Very Low Salt/Minerals -- when the salt is too low the Pro Logic will
generate less chlorine and the life of the cell is degraded. Check the cell and clean if necessary before
adding salt.
• High Salt/Amps/Minerals -- the Pro Logic will stop generating chlorine under certain high salt con-
ditions in order to protect the internal electronics from damage. The only way to lower the salt level is to
partially drain the pool and add fresh water.
• W ater/Pool Sensor -- if the water or pool (if Dual Equipment) sensor is either an open or short circuit.
• Air sensor -- if the freeze protection feature is enabled (Configuration Menu/ Filter Config.) and the air

• Spa Bridge Comm -- If variable speed is selected for the Dual Equipment Spa Filter and the VSC
interface is not responding.
• SpaVSC Comm -- If variable speed is selected for the Dual Equipment Spa Filter and the Hayward
VSC is not responding.
• Spa VSC Err: x -- If variable speed is selected for the Dual Equipment Spa Filter and the Hayward
VSC is indicating and error . x is the same decimal error displayed by the VSC itself.
• CSM Comm Error: -- If Chemistry Sensing is enabled and the Chemistry Sense Module (CSM) is
not responding.
• pH Probe Error -- If the CSM indicates that there is a problem with the pH probe.
• pH Low - Check Feeder -- If a pH level of 6.9 or less is detected, check the feeder for proper
operation
• pH High - Check Feeder -- If a pH level of 8.1 or higher is detected, check the chemical supply and
the feeder for proper operation
• pH Timeout - Check Feeder -- If the unit has been dispensing pH for more than the selected timeout
without reaching the desired level. Check the chemical supply and the feeder. If both are OK, the
timeout may need to be increased. Press the “+” button to reset the alarm and resume dispensing.
• pH Calibration Error -- When using the pH Calibration Wizard and the entered test result was
different from the measured pH level by ± 1.0 or more. The pH probe may need to be cleaned or
replaced.
43
• ORP Probe Error -- If the CSM indicates that there is a problem with the ORP probe.
• ORP Low - Check Chlor -- If an ORP level of 350mV or less is detected. Check the chlorinator for
proper operation.
• ORP High - Check Chlor -- If an ORP level of 950mV or higher is detected. Check the chlorinator
for proper operation.
• ORP High - Chlor Off -- If an ORP level of 950mV or higher is detected and the chlorine feed mode
is ORP Auto Sensing, the chlorinator has been turned off. Check the chlorinator for proper operation.
• ORP Timeout -Chlor Off -- If the unit has been chlorinating for more than the selected sanitizer
timeout without reaching the desired level, the chlorinator has been turned off. Press the “+” button to
reset the alarm and resume chlorination.
For helpful troubleshooting information on any of these issues, go to the Diagnostic Menu and then scroll
through the various items until you see the cause for the “CHECK SYSTEM” LED being illuminated.
Diagnostic Menu
T o enter the Diagnostic Menu, press the “Menu” button repeatedly until the display shows “Diagnostic
Menu”. At this point, you can use either the “<” or “>” buttons to scroll through the various menu items
which are described below:
Set Day and Time
+23.45 +6.75A
Wednesday 10:37P
84°F 3200PPM
Press to switch chlorinator operation to opposite polarity (15 second delay)
Move to previous/next menu item
+/- 23.45V is the voltage applied to the chlorinator cell
+/-6.75A is the current (amps) through the cell
84ºF is the water temperature at the cell
3200PPM is the “instant” salt level at this time
For the chlorinator to be operating, several other things must be happening: the filter pump
must be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow, the chlorinator setting must be set
greater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF , and the
salt level must be within the operating range. If any of these conditions are not met, the
chlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason. It’s possible to have more than one
reason, in which case after you rectify what was displayed the first time, a second display will
appear.
If the current (amps) display is 0.00A, then the chlorinator is operating normally but is in the
off part of its normal operating cycle. Simply press either the “+” or “-“ key to start a new
cycle.
44
The Pro Logic periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the cell in order to
automatically clean off any calcium deposits. It is important that you check the chlorinator
operation in both polarities. T o do this, press either the “+” or “-“ buttons and the chlorinator
will turn off, wait for 15 seconds and then turn on in the opposite polarity .
If a conventional or solar heater is operating, it is likely that the temperature of the water at
the cell is higher than the pool/spa water temperature displayed on the Pro Logic default
display.

temperature at the cell. This is different than the “average salt” value which is displayed as
part of the default menu. There are a number of reasons why instant and average salt
readings may differ . Some of these include salt having just been added to the pool and not
yet thoroughly mixed, calcium buildup on the cell, and the cell aging.
