Hayward OnCommand Model: ALL MODELS Operation - Page 5

Manual System Operation Turn the power on at the main panel and turn the OnCommand control power circuit breaker on. The keypad will show the default display. The default display alternates between the day/time, air and pool (or spa) temperature. Under certain circumstances, additional displays may be added to the default menu to inform you about system operation. Refer to the Programming Menu Flowchart on page 5 to view all possible displays. The OnCommand will automatically scroll through all of the available default menu displays or you can press "" to manually scroll. While the main objective of the OnCommand is to automate the operation of your pool/spa system, there may be certain times when you want to override the automatic operation and control the equipment manually. To operate the pool equipment manually while keeping the automation active, perform the following procedures. Note that if you turn a relay on manually, it will remain on until either you turn it off manually, or the next time the programmed automatic operation would normally turn that relay off. Example: the filter pump is programmed to run from 9:00A to 5:00P daily. If you turn the filter pump on manually at 8:00PM, it will run continuously until the next day at 5:00PM at which time it will turn off and follow the normal program from then on. Manually turning off a relay works in a similar fashion.

Pressing the FILTER button again will turn off the pump. However, if there is a heater in the system, and it is operating, and the "Heater Cooldown" feature is enabled (Configuration Menu) then: when you press the FILTER button to turn off the filter, only the heater will turn off, the Filter LED will flash and the display will indicate "Heater Cooldown". At this point the filter pump will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of heater cooldown operation. If you want to override the heater cooldown, simply press the FILTER button again to turn off the filter pump. Two Speed or Variable Speed Filter Pump: If the pump is currently off, simply press the "FILTER" button to turn on high speed operation of the filter pump. The "Filter" LED will illuminate continuously. Pressing the "FILTER" button again will switch to low speed operation and the "FILTER" LED will flash. Note that if the pump has been off for more than 30 seconds, it will run at high(est) speed for 3 minutes regardless of selection. This high speed operation helps allow the pump to prime and establish normal water flow. Freeze Protection: This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the preset freeze protection temperature (see Filter Configuration), the OnCommand will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. 2
