Chlorination

When the chlorinator function is enabled (requires a chlorinator cell and P-KIT sold separately), the SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl can control one or more SmartPure Sanitizers 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.

NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged especially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is not commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products that can damage your chlorinator cell.

Default Display

Turn power on at the main panel and turn the SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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.

Check System LED

If the sensor appears to operating properly, then the temperature will be displayed. If this temperature is not correct then check the placement of the sensor. If the problem is not placement related, then the sensor will, most likely, require replacement. If the display is “Open Circuit” or “Short Circuit” then check the wiring to the sensor and also make sure that the wires are secure in the terminal block in the SmartControl main unit.

Output Names

The SmartControl 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 17) 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 “POOL FILTER”.

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.

Available displays depend on configuration. If you call the Hayward Technical Service Dept. for assistance, they may ask for the software revisions of both the main unit and each of the display/ keypads or other devices that are attached to the system. Note that it is possible that different display/keypads have different software revision levels. For this reason, it is advisable to check this diagnostic menu item on every display.

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. Note that if the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at high speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.

if AQL-CHEM is used

This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled. This display shows “Instant Salt” or “Instant Minerals” (if Chlor. Config. is set for “Display Minerals”). The “Instant Salt” is calculated based on the voltage, current (amps), and water 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.

Move to previous/next menu item

This display will be shown only if sensing is enabled. This display shows both pH and ORP levels/ status when chemistry sensing is enabled via the Chemistry Configuration Wizard (requires the use of AQL-CHEM Sensing Kit). The SmartControl will refer to these levels to determine how much chlorine to generate (ORP) and, if using an AQL-CHEM2 dispense kit, how much CO2 or acid to dispense (pH). Refer to the AQL-CHEM manual for specific information about these levels as well as the recommended ranges.

No function Move to previous/next menu item

This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled. The current status of the flow switch is displayed. There is a short delay when transitioning from flow to no-flow and a longer delay on the transition from no-flow to flow. The delay time is displayed.

Move to previous/next menu item

Variable Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “FILTER” button to turn the filter pump on to the last speed (1, 2, 3, or 4) that was used. A temporary display is generated indicating the current speed selection (Filter On:Spd 1). Pushing the “+” or “-” button changes the speed selection. If the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at the highest speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps 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 Configuration), the SmartControl 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 Spa 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. Note that if the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at high speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow.

Variable Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, press the “AUX1” button to turn the filter pump on to the last speed (1 or 2) that was used. A temporary display is generated indicating the current speed selection (Filter On:Spd 1). Pushing the “+” or “-” button changes the speed selection. If the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at the highest speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps 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 SmartControl 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.

ColorLogic Relay: This selection will only appear if an optional ColorLogic Network Module (AQL-COLORMODHV) is detected at startup. The Network Module allows the SmartControl to control custom colors and light shows in Hayward Generation 4 or later ColorLogic pool and spa lights. Refer to the AQL-COLORMODHV manual for details on how to configure an Aux output for use with these lights. If a ColorLogic Module is detected at power up, the Lights relay is under automatic control and is used to power the ColorLogic lights.

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 SmartControl will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken out of service mode.

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again will cause the SmartControl to switch to service-timed mode which is very similar to service mode, except that the SmartControl 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 SmartControl to normal (automatic) operation. See Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information for more information about the service modes.

This display will be shown only if the chlorinator is enabled. 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.

The SmartControl 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. To 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.

The SmartControl 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).

There are 4 steps to programming any function:

1. Press the “MENU” button to get to the desired menu. Multiple pushes of the button will rotate through all 6 menus and return to the starting point.

2. 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).

3. 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).

4. 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 SmartControl memory will maintain the setting, even if power is removed for an extended period.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Information

denotes conditional items

The SmartControl 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 Hayward Technical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM EST at 908-355-

7995.

Service Mode

The main unit keypad has a SERVICE 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 “SERVICE” LED will be illuminated and the SmartControl will remain in this mode of operation until manually taken out of service mode.

Pressing the “SERVICE” button again, will return the SmartControl to normal (automatic) operation.

Check System Indicator

The “CHECK SYSTEM” LED will alert you when the SmartControl 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 SmartControl chlorinator cell approxi- mately every 3 months and clean the cell if necessary. The SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl will stop generating chlorine under certain high salt conditions 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.

• Water/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 sensor is either an open or short circuit.

• Solar sensor -- If Solar is enabled and the solar sensor is either an open or short circuit.

• Spa sensor for Dual Equipment-- If dual equipment spa sensor is either an open or short circuit.

• Chlorinator Cell sensor -- If the chlorinator function enabled (Configuration Menu/Chlorinator) and the cell sensor is either an open or short circuit.

System Maintenance

To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The SmartControl will remind you to do this by displaying the message “Inspect/Clean Cell” after approximately 500 hours of operation.

The SmartControl 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.

The SmartControl’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 SmartControl’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 SmartControl 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 17.

Servicing and Cleaning the Turbo Cell

Turn off power to the SmartControl 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. To acid wash, turn off power to SmartControl. 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). ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER - NEVER ADD WATER 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl system may be set up to circulate the pool water whenever the air sensor drops to the selected freeze temperature threshold. Make sure the air sensor is recording the correct temperature and is NOT located in the direct sunlight to ensure proper freeze protection operation.

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. Wizard. 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 SmartControl allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equipment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

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.

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. Your local Authorized Hayward 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. Test 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.

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 the filter pump is running and the pool 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), Pool Heater2 is tied to the Pool Filter (FILTER).

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 SmartControl and are also displayed as part of the default menu.

The SmartControl 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.

The pool’s chemistry must be balanced BEFORE activating the SmartControl’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 SmartControl system.

Salt Level (When using optional chlorinator function)

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 SmartControl to stop 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.

This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the SmartControl. Perform this procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the SmartControl system. During this procedure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the wireless base station connected to this particular SmartControl unit and will reject messages with any other ID codes. If “Base NOT found” is displayed, then the SmartControl 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.

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 38 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

General Water Chemistry

Salt is required only if you are using the chlorinator features on the SmartControl 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 SmartControl configuration menu for information on enabling/disabling the chlorinator (see page

17).

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 SmartControl are the salt level and stabilizer.

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 SmartControl.

Timers Menu

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

Most timeclocks have 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.

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.

and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci,and

into the above equation. If Si equals .2 or more, scaling and staining may occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation

Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.1

Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness,

-.2

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 SmartControl allows more descriptive names to be assigned to each piece of equipment (refer to the section regarding the Configuration Menu for more information).

Move between start and stop times & to previous/next menu item

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.

For two 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 H1”). There is a separate timeclock for the low speed operation which will be programmed next . If the high speed and low speed periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed during the overlap period.

For a variable speed pump, this setting will be the period of time when the pump will run at the speed selected for speed1 in the settings menu. If there is an overlap in any of the timeclocks, then the lower number timeclock/speed has priority.

Depending on the type of filter pump used, there are several reasons why the 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 variable speed pumps, when there is more than one reason for the pump to run, the speed priority in order from highest to lowest is priming (first 3 minutes after filter has been turned on), freeze protection, group, heater minimum, aux/valve override, spa mode, speed1, speed2, speed3, speed4. Note that the reason for the current speed is shown in the Default Menu.

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 introduced 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.

For one speed pumps, this is the second filter timeclock.

For two speed, 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 L1”). 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.

For a variable speed pump, this setting will be the period of time when the pump will run at the speed selected for speed2 in the settings menu. If there is an overlap in any of the timeclocks, then the lower number timeclock/speed has priority.

NOTE: The third and forth filter timeclocks function similarly to the first and second (respectively). Program these timeclocks in the same manner.

This menu is only available if the system has been setup for “pool and spa-std”. During the programmed spa time, the SmartControl 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.

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 SmartControl 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.

1. Press the “Pool/Spa” button to go to “spa-only” operation (“SPA” LED illuminated). In some cases, this may take more than one press of the button.

Adjust time setting

Move between start and stop times & to previous/next menu item

2. If the filter pump is not already on, press the “FILTER” 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 Temperature” 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.

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 SmartControl will return 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

Move between start and stop times & to previous/next menu item

This menu is only available if the system has been setup for Dual Equipment. For one speed pumps, this is the first spa filter timeclock and will determine the normal hours of filtration for the spa. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled, the valves will automatically switch to pool only at the start of the filtration period.

For two speed pumps, this setting will be the period of time when the spa pump runs at high speed (the word “Spa Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Spa 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.

Move between start and stop times & to previous/next menu item

For one speed spa pumps, this is the second filter timeclock

For two speed pumps, this timeclock will set the normal time period for spa filter pump low speed operation (the word “Spa Filter T2” in the display will be replaced with “Spa 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.

Set the Chlorinator Output

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 spaonly position then the heater will operate according to the spa setting.

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.

NOTE: After the ideal "Desired Output %" setting has been found, you may need to raise the setting when the pool water temperature increases significantly, when there is higher than normal bather load or when your chlorinator cell ages. You may need to lower the setting when the pool water temperature decreases significantly or there are long periods of inactivity.

For PS-4, Aux1 and Aux2 configurations are identical. For PS-8 models, Aux1 - Aux6 configurations are identical. For PS-16 models, Aux1 - Aux14 configurations are identical.

Move between start and stop times & to previous/next menu item

This menu will appear only if the Aux1 is configured for timeclock. The Aux1 output will turn on and off at the designated times. If the Aux1 relay is off during the programmed on time— note that some pool equipment (example pressure side pool cleaner) can only be operated when the filter pump is running and the pool/spa valves are in the pool-only position—the SmartControl will keep the relay off until these other conditions are suitable for operation. If the Aux1 relay is on during the programmed off time, it may be because of freeze protection. Also, manual operation overrides the timeclock. Refer to page 12 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.

For larger pools or 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, may require more hours of Superchlorination. Smaller pools require less hours of Superchlorination.

Group Function

The SmartControl 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 SmartControl can be programmed to control up to four groups. Refer to this section when programming Group commands.

Use this function to erase all previous system configuration settings and reset all configuration parameters back to the factory default values. This function is NOT reversible--be careful.

Maintenance Menu (only displays if Sensing System is enabled)

The Maintenance Menu will be displayed only if the optional AQL-CHEM is used and the Sensing System is enabled in the Chemistry Config. Wizard. This menu is used to perform functions relating to the AQL-CHEM ORP and pH sensing kit.

Push to access pH Calibration Wizard

Use this Wizard to calibrate the AQL-CHEM’s pH probe. This requires a manual pH test of the pool water using a dependable red phenol test kit.

Push to access Clean Probe Wizard

Use this Wizard to clean the AQL-CHEM’s ORP and pH probes. The probes must be clean and free from oil, chemical deposits and contamination to function properly. Slow response, increased need to calibrate, and inconsistent readings are indications that the probes need to be cleaned.

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 Timer, and Timeclock. 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 SmartControl functions are to be controlled in the group.

This is the unit of measure for displaying the speed of the variable speed pump. Select % of your pump’s maximum speed or revolutions per minute (RPM).

Unaffected, Off, On, High, Low, On (Lowest to Highest)

Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the SmartControl is configured. For example, if the SmartControl 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 offer “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 SmartControl 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 affect 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. To 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.

The SmartControl 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 off. 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 SmartControl 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. To 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

SmartControl Virtual 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 PL-PS-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.

function is terminated. See valve3 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.

Valve3 Interlock

If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock, manual on/off, countdown timer or infloor cleaner) selected above and turn the valve off whenever the filter pump is off or the pool/spa suction/return valves are set to “spa only” or “spillover” operation. Interlock is not available with solar, group or super chlorinate.

Valve3 Group

The valve3 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the VALVE3 button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 15 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.

Valve3 External Input Interlock

When Valve3 External Input Interlock is enabled, the Valve3 output will be forced off when the external input is active. This will have precedence over freeze protection. Valve3 External Input Interlock is not available for solar, group, and super chlorinate.

Valve3 Freeze Protection

This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below the selected freeze protection temperature, the SmartControl will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of the valve3 output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Freeze protection is not available for group or super chlorinate functions.

Valve3 Pump Speed

This is the speed of the pump when the Valve3 output is on. The default selection is “Settings Menu”. This is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu for normal filter operation. If an alternate speed is desired when the Valve3 output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from “Filter Lowest” to “Filter Highest” in 5% increments.

Valve3 Name

The SmartControl allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. “Cleaner Valve, Waterfall valve, Solar Valve, etc.) to each of the valve output control function. This will make the SmartControl much more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various valves on or off or program the timeclocks. A sheet of small name labels is included with the SmartControl main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Valve3” (and “Valve4”) pushbutton can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.

Valve3 Function

Manual On/Off (default) – the valve3 relay will alternate between turning on and off when the VALVE3 button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic. The VALVE3 button can also be used to turn the valve output on or off.

Countdown Timer – the valve3 relay will turn on when the VALVE3 button is pressed and then will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations Manual). The VALVE3 button can also be used to turn the output off.

Timeclock – the valve turns on/off at the times set for the valve3 timeclock in the Timers Menu (see Operations Manual). The valve3 button can also be used to turn the valve output on or off.

Solar – the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. Solar heating must be enabled in the “Solar Config. menu for proper operation to occur.

In-Floor Cleaner – the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor cleaner and the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming. The valve will operate the in-floor cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/skimming for the last half of the hour.

Group – the valve operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group

Pool/Spa Setup

If “Pool Only” or “Spa Only” are selected, then the pool/spa valves are not needed and pushing the POOL/SPA button on the display/keypad will have no effect. If “Pool and Spa-Std” is selected, then the pool/spa suction and return valve actuators should be connected to the SmartControl. 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 SmartControl.

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 appear only if Pool/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 SmartControl 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.

If “Spa Spillover” is selected, the SmartControl 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 superchlorinate function is turned on. The valves will remain in this position for the remainder of the superchlorinate 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 SmartControl will switch the pool/spa valves to the “pool only” position at the start of the programmed pool filtering time period or when the super-chlorinate 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, Valve 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.

Aux1 Group

The Aux1 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the “Aux1” button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 15 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.

Aux1 External Input Interlock

When Aux1 External Input Interlock is enabled, the Aux1 output will be forced off when the external input is active. This will have precedence over freeze protection. Aux1 External Input Interlock is not available for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, group, super chlorinate, or pH dispense functions.

Aux1 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 selected freeze protection temperature, the SmartControl will turn on the aux relay to circulate the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of the AUX output 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.

Aux1 Pump Speed

This is the speed of the filter pump when the Aux1 output is on. The default selection is “Settings Menu”. This is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu for normal filter operation. If an alternate speed is desired when the Aux1 output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from “Lowest” to “Highest” in 5% increments.

Select the desired Freeze Protection speed from Filter Lowest to Filter Highest speed

Adjust the desired freeze protection temperature (33ºF - 42ºF)

Filter Name

The SmartControl 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 SmartControl more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to control the filter equipment. A sheet of small name labels is included with the SmartControl main unit and each remote display/keypad so that appropriate pushbuttons can be labeled the same as the name that you have assigned.

more user friendly to the homeowner when they want to turn various aux equipment on or off or program the timeclocks. A sheet of small name labels is included with the SmartControl main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Aux” pushbutton 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.

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 2-speed and variable speed pump operation.

Aux1 Function

Manual On/Off (default)—the aux relay will alternate between turning on and off when the aux button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.

Countdown Timer – the aux relay will turn on when the AUX button is pressed and then will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in the Operations Manual). The AUX button can also be used to turn the output off.

Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the SmartControl will operate the aux 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 aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux timeclock in the Timers Menu (see Operations Manual). The AUX button can also be used to turn the output on and off.

Solar – the aux relay operates 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 SmartControl will turn on the aux 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 aux relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group function is terminated. See Aux1 Group section for operation information for the Group function.

pH Dispense – When Chemistry Sensing is enabled and pH Reduction Control is NOT disabled, the SmartControl will turn on the Aux 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 Aux button will have no function. Requires the use of the AQL-CHEM sensing kit.

For the Hayward variable speed pump: The Filter relay is used to supply input power to the pump. 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).

Flow Monitor

This feature will help protect the filter pump from damage due to no flow. When used with a Hayward flow switch, the SmartControl monitors the state of water flow when the filter pump is on. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the SmartControl 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 SmartControl will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If “Pool and Spa” is selected in the Pool/Spa sub-menu (see page 18), 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 2-speed or variable speed pump operation. If the pump turns on due to freeze protection only, the pump will run at this speed.

2-Speed pumps: Select high (default) or low speed operation.

Aux1 Relay

This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default), “Dimmer”, “ColorLogic” or “VSP” type relay for the Aux1 output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired. The AQL-COLOR-MODHV ColorLogic Network Module must be installed if “ColorLogic” is desired.

When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Aux1 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 aux1 output is turned from off to on.

If “ColorLogic” is selected (Network Module must be detected at startup for this option to appear), additional menus will prompt you for configuration information. Refer to the AQL-COLOR-MODHV manual for details on how to configure an Aux output for use with Generation 3 or later ColorLogic lights.

If “VSP” is selected, the Aux relay is used to supply power to a Hayward Variable Speed Pump (VSP). The relay will be on when the Aux output is on and off when the output is off. On, off and speed are controlled by commands sent to the VSP. Note: Up to 6 Lights/Aux outputs can be configured as VSP relays.

Aux1 Interlock

If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, Timeclock), selected above and turn the aux1 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.

Variable Speed pumps: Select the desired speed (from Filter Lowest to Filter Highest speed).

Freeze Protection Temperature

Select the temperature to be used for freeze protection. Temperature is adjustable from 33ºF-42ºF (1ºC6ºC). 38ºF (3ºC) is default. This threshold will be used for all outputs that have freeze protection enabled.

External Input Interlock

When enabled, the filter pump will be forced off when the external input is active. Note that freeze protection will have precedence over this feature.

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.

NOTE: Heater1 and Heater2 configuration are identical. If Heater2 is enabled then Valve4 will automatically be disabled due to the fact that they use the same output relay and only 1 function can be assigned to that relay.

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). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.

Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump – the SmartControl 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). 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. 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 SmartControl 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.

pH Dispense –When Chemistry Sensing is enabled and pH Reduction Control is NOT disabled, the SmartControl 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), “Dimmer” or “VSP” 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.

If “VSP” is selected, the Lights relay is used to supply power to a Hayward Variable Speed Pump (VSP). The relay will be on when the Lights output is on and off when the output is off. On, off and speed are controlled by commands sent to the VSP. Note: Up to 6 Lights/Aux outputs can be configured as VSP relays.

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 15 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.

If the heater is “Enabled”, the heater relay will turn on when the water temperature is less than the desired temperature setting and the filter pump is running. The desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate “pool” and “spa” settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valves, the proper temperature setting will be used.

Heater Name

The SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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.

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 (Valve3 or Valve4) output must be setup for solar logic (page 29). 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.

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 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl 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 SmartControl main unit and each remote display/keypad so that the “Lights” pushbutton 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.
