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

NOTE: This manual assumes that the 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.

Chlorination

When the chlorinator function is enabled (requires a chlorinator cell and P-KIT sold separately), 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 Hayward 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.

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 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.

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. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the following procedures. Note that if you turn a relay on manually, it will remain on until either you turn it off manually, or the next time the programmed automatic operation would normally turn that relay off. Example: the filter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A to 5:00P daily. If you turn the filter pump on manually at 8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00PM at which time it will turn off and follow the normal program from then on. Manually turning off a relay works in a similar fashion.

Output Names

The Pro Logic is shipped from the factory with each output labeled with a generic name (e.g. AUX1, VALVE3, etc.). One of the features in the software (see Configuration Menu, page 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.

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.

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 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 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 Pro Logic will turn on the spa filter pump to circulate the water.

Lights and Aux Outputs

Standard Relay: Manual operation of all relays (LIGHTS, AUX1 and AUX2 for a PS-4 model, LIGHTS, AUX1

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

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

ColorLogic Relay: This selection will only appear if an optional ColorLogic Network Module (AQL-COLORMODHV) is detected at startup. The Network Module allows the Pro Logic to control custom colors and light shows in Hayward Generation 4 or later ColorLogic pool and spa lights. Refer to the AQL-COLOR-MODHV 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.

VSP Relay: This selection is used to configure a Lights/Aux output to supply power and control a Hayward

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

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

Standard Pool and Spa systems with spa spillover: When currently in the pool-only mode (“POOL” LED illuminated), press the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button to switch to spa-only operation (“SPA” LED illuminated). Press the button again to switch to spa spillover operation (“SPILLOVER” LED illuminated). Pressing the “POOL/SPA/SPILLOVER” button again will switch back to pool-only mode. Note that the filter pump will turn off while the pool/spa valves are turning.

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

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

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

Heaters

This description applies to Heater1 and to Heater2, if programmed (note that the function of the Valve4 button changes to Heater2 when Heater2 is enabled). Pressing the “HEATER” button causes the 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 “SERVICE” button is pressed on the display/keypad at the main unit. The red “SYSTEM OFF” LED will illuminate to indicate that all outputs and

being forced off.

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

and may cause damage to your system in freezing conditions.

Service

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

Pressing the “SERVICE” 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 “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 Pro Logic to normal (automatic) operation. See Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information for more information about the service modes.

Automatic System Operation

and Buttons

Select Items from

a Menu

Adjust

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).

Button

Select Desired Menu

and Buttons

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

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 17.

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 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).

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

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

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) overriding the normal filter pump timeclock settings. At the end of the super chlorinate period, the pool will return to normal operation.

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

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

This setting will appear only if the chlorinator function is enabled and system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa-std”. If an AQL-CHEM is being used, super chlorinate will not be available if chemical sensing is enabled and ORP is in Auto Sensing (see AQL-CHEM manual). It will determine the chlorinator output when the system is operating in spa-only mode. The actual amount of chlorine introduced into the spa is determined by: this setting, the amount of time the pool operates in spa-only mode, the water temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. If the filter pump is running due to the freeze protection feature, then the chlorinator will not operate during this time.

Push to start process

Press any button on wireless remote

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 transmitter/receiver base station attached to the main unit. If “NOT Successful” is displayed, then the base station did not receive a signal from the remote control. This may be due to the distance between the Base Receiver and the remote device being too great or may be due to interference caused by other RF equipment operating in the neighborhood. Try using the “Change Channel” command and then repeat the “Teach Wireless” command.

Timers Menu

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

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.

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).

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.

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 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.

This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for timeclock. The lights will turn on and off at the designated times. The only override on this function is manual on/off control by the “Lights” button.

This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for countdown timer. This setting is the time after you manually turn on the lights until the Pro Logic automatically turns off the lights. You can also manually turn off the lights at an earlier time by pressing the LIGHTS button.
