Hayward OnCommand® Model: ALL MODELS Operation - Page 16

Heater Setpoints in Groups The OnCommand can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) while running a group command. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal, while the group is activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting. Changing the setpoint while the group is running will make the group release the alternate setpoint control and revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal heater setting. The next time the group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint that was originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the setpoint while the group is running, go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while "Group Control" is displayed. The setpoint will change and be retained as the new normal heater setpoint. Super Chlorinate (requires external chlorinator) If a Hayward Swimpure or Goldline Aqua Rite chlorinator is used, the OnCommand can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command. When the group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. Super Chlorinate will continue until the preset time expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until the group turns off. Changing the Super Chlorinate state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlorinate assigned Aux/Lights/Valve button will temporarily cancel the group's control of Super Chlorinate until the next time the group is activated. Variable Speed in Groups The OnCommand can be programmed to use alternate pump speeds while running a group command. This allows the pump(s) to be set to a higher or lower speed than normal, while the group is activated. When the group stops, the speed will return to its normal setting. Changing the speed setting while the group is running will make the group release the alternate speed setting and revert back to the normal speed setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal speed setting. The next time the group is activated, the speed will return to the group speed setting that was originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the speed setting while the group is running, go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while "Group Control" is displayed. The speed setting will change to the normal speed setting.
