Page 13 highlights

Note: Separate chlorinator output levels for the pool and spa must be set. If the valves are in the pool-only or spa spillover positions, then the chlorinator will operate according the pool setting. If the valves are in the spa-only position then the chlorinator will operate according to the spa setting. The actual amount of chlorine introduced into the pool/spa is determined by: this output setting, the amount of time the filter pump is running, the water temperature, and the amount of salt in the water. Also see Start/Stop Superchlorination. Start/Stop Superchlorination 1. Press the "MENU" button repeatedly until "Settings Menu" is displayed 2. Press the ">" button repeatedly until "Super Chlorinate" is displayed. 3. The display will show whether superchlorination is "on" or "off". 4. Press "+" or "-" to toggle between "on" and "off" Note: Once started, superchlorination will run for the programmed number of hours (Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until you manually turn it off. Superchlorination may be temporarily interrupted for a programmed spa operation. Program a Timeclock 1. Press the "MENU" button repeatedly until "Timers Menu" is displayed 2. Press the ">" button repeatedly until "xxx-all" or "xxx-wkend" (where xxx is the parameter that you want to program) is displayed. 3. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to set the desired start time, then press ">" to switch to the off time. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the off time. If you are setting the "weekend" timeclock, press ">" to go to the "weekday" settings. Note: During the programmed time, there may be other automatic or manual operations that prevent the relay/valve from operating-see a more detailed discussion under Automatic System Operation/Timers Menu/Aux Timeclock or in Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information. Program a Countdown Timer 1. Press the "MENU" button repeatedly until "Timers Menu" is displayed 2. Press the ">" button repeatedly until the "xxx-Timer" (where xxx is the parameter that you want to program) is displayed. 3. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to set the desired timer period. Note: A setting of 0:00 will display as "manual on/off". The countdown automatic turn off function is disabled but manual operation is still permitted. There may be other automatic or manual operations that prevent the relay/valve from operating-see a more detailed discussion under Automatic System Operation/Timers Menu/Aux Timeclock or in Troubleshooting/Diagnostic Information. Enter/Exit Service (or Service-Timed) Mode 1. Go toAqua Plus main unit (normally mounted near the pool equipment) 2. Pressing the "Service" button rotates through normal operation (red LED off), service mode (red LED on continuously) and service-timed mode (red LED flashing). Note: This operation can only be performed at the main Aqua Plus unit. Both "Service" and "Service-Timed" disable all automatic programmed operations and allow manual operation from the main unit only. The buttons on the remote display/keypads will still be able to turn equipment off in case of an emergency, but will not turn any equipment on. If the system is in "Serviced-Timed" it will automatically switch back to normal operation at the end of the 3 hour time period. 25 Teach Wireless + to start Press and hold wireless button Teach Wireless Successful Teach Wireless NOT Successful Teach Wireless Base NOT Found Push to start process Move to previous/next menu item Press any button on wireless remote Move to previous/next menu item Move to previous/next menu item Move to previous/next menu item Move to previous/next menu item This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the Aqua Plus. Perform this procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the Aqua Plus system. During this procedure the wireless remote "learns" and remembers the ID code for the wireless base station connected to this particular Aqua Plus unit and will reject messages with any other ID codes. If "Base NOT found" is displayed, then the Aqua Plus can not communicate with the transmitter/receiver base station attached to the main unit. If "NOT Successful" is displayed, then the base station did not receive a signal from the remote control. This may be due to the distance between the Base Receiver and the remote device being too great or may be due to interference caused by other RF equipment operating in the neighborhood. Try changing the channel and then repeat the "Teach Wireless" command. Wireless Channel: 1 Confirm Change: + to proceed Reteach all wireless units Change the desired wireless channel (1 - 5) If channel is changed, move to confirmation menu If channel is not changed, move to previous/next menu item Push to confirm the channel change Move to previous/next menu item Move to previous (Teach Wireless) menu This setting changes the channel to be used by the wireless base station and remote(s). If the channel is changed and confirmed, all of the wireless remotes will have to be retaught. This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the Aqua Plus. Timers Menu The Timers Menu allows you to set all timeclock and countdown timers which control the automatic operation of your pool/spa system. Each timeclock has a single on/off program per day. All of the timeclocks are setup (Configuration Menu) either as "all days" or "weekends/weekdays". If "weekends/weekdays" are selected, you will need to program on times for both weekdays and weekends and off times for both weekdays and weekends, even if you want them to be the same. All times are adjusted in 15 minute increments (9:00A, 9:15A, 9:30A, etc.). If you program the on time equal to the off time ("10:00A to 10:00A") the output will NEVER turn on. If you want to disable a timeclock, you can set the on time equal to the off time and you will notice the times disappear and the display simply shows "Off". If, at a later time, you wish to re-activate the timeclock, simply press either the "+" or "-" buttons to go back to a normal timeclock programming display. The Countdown timer is programmed in increments of 5 minutes from "Manual On/Off" (0 minutes) to a maximum of "21:00" (21 hours). When "Manual On/Off" is displayed, the countdown timer is disabled and the output will be manually controlled. When a countdown timer is equal or greater than "0:05", pressing the appropriate output button will turn the output on and start the timer. Pressing the button again will turn the output off or, when the programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off. 10

This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the Aqua Plus.
Perform this
procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the Aqua Plus system.
During this proce-
dure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the wireless base station connected
to this particular Aqua Plus unit and will reject messages with any other ID codes.
If “Base NOT
found” is displayed, then the Aqua Plus can not communicate with the transmitter/receiver base
station attached to the main unit.
If “NOT Successful” is displayed, then the
base station did not
receive a signal from the remote control.
This may be due to the distance between the Base Receiver
and the remote device being too great or may be due to interference caused by other RF equipment
operating in the neighborhood.
Try changing the channel and then repeat the “Teach Wireless”
command.

Timers Menu
The Timers Menu allows you to set all timeclock and countdown timers which control the automatic operation of
your pool/spa system.
Each timeclock has a single on/off program per day.
All of the timeclocks are setup (Configuration Menu) either as
“all days” or “weekends/weekdays”.
If “weekends/weekdays” are selected, you will need to program on times for
both weekdays and weekends and off times for both weekdays and weekends, even if you want them to be the
same.
All times are adjusted in 15 minute increments (9:00A, 9:15A, 9:30A, etc.).
If you program the on time
equal to the off time (“10:00A to 10:00A”) the output will NEVER turn on.
If you want to disable a timeclock, you
can set the on time equal to the off time and you will notice the times disappear and the display simply shows “Off”.
If, at a later time, you wish to re-activate the timeclock, simply press either the “+” or “-” buttons to go back to a
normal timeclock programming display.
The Countdown timer is programmed in increments of 5 minutes from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to a maximum
of “21:00” (21 hours).
When “Manual On/Off” is displayed, the countdown timer is disabled and the output will be
manually controlled.
When a countdown timer is equal or greater than “0:05”, pressing the appropriate output
button will turn the output on and start the timer.
Pressing the button again will turn the output off or, when the
programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off.
