If pool lights are wired to the lights relay, some options including Solar function, Low Speed of a 2Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection will not be necessary 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 (default)-the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic. Countdown Timer-the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The lights relay will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off. Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump - the Aqua Plus 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 Timers Menu (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output on and off. Solar - the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. It is important to note that "Solar Control" must be enabled in the "Solar Config." menu for proper operation to occur. Super Chlorinate - if "Chlorinator" is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate cycle when the Lights button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can be assigned to this function. 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 on. 25 Optional Remote Controls Hayward offers a variety of wired and wireless remote control options for the Aqua Plus. Each model gives you the ability to control your pool's functions from a remote location, away from the Control Center. Wired Remote Controls Up to 3 wired remote controls can be installed. See page 17 for wiring information. AQL-WW-P-4 The AQL-WW-P-4 display/keypad must be mounted indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never touch the unit). The display/keypad is designed to mount onto a standard electrical utility box (same box as a single light switch, ideal for new construction) or can be mounted directly onto any wall surface. When selecting a location, note that the wire to the Aqua Plus main unit must be less than 500' long. Refer to the remote's installation instructions as well as the steps below: 1. Remove display/keypad baseplate from the cover by lifting up on the cover at the lower end of the keypad. See diagram below. Remote Keypad push up here to remove cover 2. Screw the baseplate in the desired position (screws supplied by installer). 3. See "Electrical Wiring" (page 17) for instructions on running the cable from theAqua Plus main unit to the remote display/keypad. AQL-SS-6B-x (x=W or B for White or Black) The AQL-SS-6B is a double insulated, waterproof device which is intended for installation at the water's edge. The remote control comes with an attached 150' cable and is typically installed at the tile-line of the spa wall, or in the deck, within arm's reach of a pool/spa occupant. Refer to the AQL-SS-6B installation manual for specific mounting and wiring information. Wireless Remote Controls Note that the Aqua Plus is compatible with AQL2 wireless remote controls only. A single AQL2-BASE-RF Base Station must be installed on the Aqua Plus in order to use any of the Hayward wireless remote controls. With the Base Station installed, there is no limit on the number of wireless remotes that can used. The maximum distance between the wireless remotes and the base station on the Aqua Plus main control unit is 400 feet (120m) line of sight or 200 feet (60m) through walls, etc. If in doubt about the distance, test operation before installing the remote.
