Compatibility

This product is compatible with all Aqua Logic controls operating software revision
r1.10 or higher. To 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 r1.10 contact the Goldline T echnical Service
Dept. from Monday through Friday , 8AM to 8PM Eastern at 888-921-7665 for infor­mation on upgrades.

This Aqua Logic base receiver can communicate with the Aqua Logic spa-side remote
(AQL-SPASIDE-RF) and also the wireless in-house remote display/keypads (AQL­REMOTE-RF-PS-4/8/16).

Disconnect power and then remove the panel from the Aqua Logic control unit. Re-

move the knock-out on the upper left side of the Aqua Logic main unit and mount the
RF base station. Secure the base receiver in place by firmly tightening the nut from
inside the Aqua Logic unit. Lastly , plug the pigtail cable into the “wireless connector”
connector on the Aqua Logic main circuit board.

Operation

Every Base Receiver 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 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 receiver to communicate with.
Refer to the Aqua Logic Operation Manual or the manual for your remote device for
"teaching" instructions .

The Aqua Logic Base Receiver 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 Aqua Logic Operation Manual for instructions.

T roubleshooting

If you believe that your system is not operating properly or if you have a general
question regarding system operation, you may call the Goldline Technical Service
Dept. from Monday through Friday , 8AM to 8PM Eastern at 888-921-7665.

1. Can’t find the “Teach Wireless” 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 W ireless” display appears. If you
go through all of the displays without ever seeing the "T each W ireless" and you
get to the point where “Settings Menu” appears again, then this means that the
Aqua Logic control unit is not communicating with the Base Receiver. Check
that the 4 wire cable from the base receiver 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 Wi reless” 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 receiver and the
remote is too great—try moving the remote closer to the receiver. Lastly, there
may be other equipment in the neighborhood that is using the same frequency.
To see if this is the case, go to the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel and select
another channel. Note that after you change the channel you will have to “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 receiver and the remote is too great—try moving
the remote closer to the receiver. Lastly, there may be other equipment in the
neighborhood that is using the same frequency . T o 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 receiver and also what
channel to communicate on. If this procedure is not successful, then refer to the
“T each W ireless” failed section above.
