Settings Menu Heater and/or solar thermostat settings Chlorinator settings (if applicable) Day and Time Timers Menu Timeclock and/or Countdown timer settings Heater Checkout Follow these instructions to verify that the ECOMMAND 4 is properly controlling the heater. 1. Check that the ECOMMAND 4 is calling for the heater to turn on as indicated by the "Heater" LED being illuminated. If the "Heater" LED is illuminated, go directly to step 2; if not, then check the following: • The heater is enabled (Configuration Menu/Heater Config.). • The heater temperature setting is at least 2ºF greater than the water temperature (Settings Menu / Pool Heater & Spa Heater). • The filter pump is running. • If the pool has solar heat and the solar priority feature is enabled (Configuration Menu/Solar Config) then solar must be off in order for the heater to fire. The easiest way to force solar off is to go to the Settings Menu / Pool Solar & Spa Solar and temporarily lower the temperature settings below the current water temperature. 2. Check that the heater is running. If not, then check: • Power is supplied to the heater. • The ECOMMAND 4 control output is properly connected to the heater control (see "Heater Control" wiring, page 8). • Some heaters also have internal switches or jumpers that have to be set correctly for remote control operation-refer to the heater manual and also "Heater Control" (page 8). • Heater is turned on ("Kill Switch" is in the "ON" position). • If a heater bypass valve is installed, check that water is flowing through the heater. • The heater temperature setting is set as high as possible (usually 104ºF/40ºC). Also note that some heat pumps actually have be set to the lowest possible temperature. 24
