• Why is the local server so much faster than the web site? The communication delays for the local server are much smaller than those needed to access the Remote Control page on the web site. • Which browsers have been tested with the local server? Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) and Firefox (3.0.16). An update is available with a change that is needed to use the local server with IE7 and IE6 browsers. The update may be requested from [email protected]. • What do I do if the local server stops responding? If the local server hangs up, refresh the browser window. For IE and Firefox this can be done using the F5 key. If the refresh does not work, restart the browser. If this does not work close your browser and cycle power to the ACHN. • The local server does not update its display and button pushes do not seem to change status of the associated LEDs. Internet Explorer version 6 and 7 will not work without updating the local server software. Another potential problem is that JavaScript might be disabled on your unit. If you have any questions please contact Haywardat [email protected]. 12 Installation Steps Installation of the ACHN requires that you perform the following steps: • Install AQL2-BASE-RF Base Station if not already on your pool controller • Train the ACHN to the Pool Controller • Perform RF range test • Connect the ACHN to Home Network • Setup local server functionality • Setup web client functionality (if desired) Install AQL2-BASE-RF Base Station The ACHN requires an AQL2-BASE-RF base station to be installed on your pool controller. If the Pro Logic or Aqua Rite Pro doesn't already have an AQL2-BASE-RF, one must be installed. They can be purchased at your local Hayward dealer. Follow the included instructions for proper installation. Training the ACHN The ACHN requires "training" before connecting to your home network. To train the ACHN, bring it close to the pool controller and power it using a nearby outlet. We want to ensure a good solid RF (radio frequency) connection to the pool controller. Now perform the following steps: The AQL2-BASE-RF attached to the pool controller has a unique ID code that ensures that your ACHN will not affect other systems in the neighborhood, and likewise, their remotes will not affect your system. To teach the ID code to the ACHN: Settings Menu a. Press the "Menu" button (possibly multiple times) until "Settings Menu" is displayed. Teach Wireless: + to start Press and hold Wireless button b. Press "" (again, possibly multiple times) until "Teach Wireless" is displayed. c. Press the "+" button. The pool controller should now say "Press and hold Wireless button". d. Depress the Teach button on the ACHN and continue to hold it down. For the first 3 seconds all 4 ACHN LEDs will be off. For the next 3 seconds all 4 LEDs will begin to blink in unison. Continue to hold the Teach button down until all 4 LEDs are on solid. At this point you must release the Teach button. e. Upon release of the Teach button you should see rapid blinking of the RF LED on the ACHN (the topmost LED); this rapid blinking indicates that Teach Mode has been entered. Teach Wireless: Successful f. The pool controller should then report "Teach Wireless: Successful". After this, the RF LED on the ACHN should always be ON. Training is complete. You can now perform an RF range test. 1
