1. Mounting the Equipment OnCommand Control Unit The OnCommand is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes require). The OnCommand is designed to mount on a flat surface with the knockouts facing downward. When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the temperature sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m) long. Temperature Sensors Three sensors are included with the OnCommand. A water sensor and an air sensor must be installed at all times for proper operation. A solar sensor is required if the solar function is enabled. Water Sensor This sensor is used to measure the pool/spa temperature and is installed in the filtration plumbing after the filter but before either the solar or conventionally fueled heaters-refer to the plumbing overview diagram. 1. Drill a 3/8" (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs. 2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole. 3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not overtighten. 4. For maximum temperature accuracy, cover the sensor and 3" (6cm) of pipe on either side with insulation and white paint. Air Sensor Mount the air sensor outdoors. ! IMPORTANT: Mount the air sensor out of direct sunlight. Solar Sensor For solar applications, mount the sensor near the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same sunlight as the collectors. Use additional cable (20 AWG), if necessary. Wireless Remote Controls A single Base Station must be installed on the OnCommand in order to use Goldline wireless remote controls. There is no limit on the number of wireless remotes that can used. The maximum distance between wireless remote controls and the base station on the OnCommand 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. Wireless remote controls require the user to run the "Teach Wireless" routine in the Settings Menu. Refer to the Operation section for more information. Compatible wireless remote control models are listed below: AQL2-SS-RF The waterproof AQL2-SS-RF is a convenient limited function remote that can be left in or around the pool/spa for easy access. The AQL2-SS-RF can control the Pool/Spa valves as well as offering ON/OFF control of the pool filter pump operation, heater operation, lights, and two auxiliary outputs. AQL2-POD The AQL2-POD is a full function rechargeable handheld remote with display. It offers the same control options as the local display/keypad. This waterproof portable remote is designed to be used in and around the pool/spa area. 2
