Hayward Aqua Plus Model: PL-PLUS-16V Operation - Page 23

Aux1 Name The Aqua Plus 16v allows you to assign any one of a number of names (e.g. "Cleaner Pump, Waterfall, Gazebo Light, etc.) to each of the aux outputs control function. This will make the Aqua Plus 16v much 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 Aqua Plus 16v 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. 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 Aqua Plus 16v 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 Aqua Plus 16v 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. Super Chlorinate - The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this function. pH Dispense - When Chemistry Sensing is enabled and pH Reduction Control is NOT disabled, the Aqua Plus 16v 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. 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 27 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. 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 Aqua Plus 16v monitors the state of water flow when the filter pump is on. If no flow is detected for more than 15 minutes, the Aqua Plus 16v 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 Aqua Plus 16v 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. 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. 20
