be disabled. If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to control other pool devices that may require these options. The function of each option is shown below. Manual On/Off-the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic. Countdown Timer-the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The lights relay will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off. Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump - the Pro Logic will turn on the lights relay whenever the low speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the "2-speed" filter pump option be selected under the "Filter Config." Menu for proper operation. Timeclock - the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock in the Settings Menu (see Settings Menu). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output on and off. Solar - the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. Note that "Solar" must be enabled in the "Solar Config." menu for proper operation to occur. Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump - the Pro Logic will turn on the lights relay whenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. "Pool and Spa-Dual" (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and "2-Speed" (located in Spa Filter Config. menu) must be selected for proper operation. Group - the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group function is terminated. See Lights Group section for operation information for the Group function. Super Chlorinate - The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this function. pH Dispense -When Chemistry Sensing is enabled and pH Reduction Control is NOT disabled, the Pro Logic will turn on the Lights relay when there is a need to energize the pH dispensing device. The pH Dispense function can be assigned to any Aux or the Lights output. Once programmed for pH Dispense, the Lights button will have no function. Requires the use of the AQL-CHEM sensing kit. Lights Relay This feature allows the user to select either "Standard" (default), "Dimmer" or "VSP" type relay for the Lights output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if "Dimmer" is desired. When "Dimmer" is selected, and the Lights output is manually turned on, the "+" and "-" buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next time the lights are turned from off to on. If "VSP" is selected, the Lights relay is used to supply power to a Hayward Variable Speed Pump (VSP). The relay will be on when the Lights output is on and off when the output is off. On, off and speed are controlled by commands sent to the VSP. Note: Up to 6 Lights/Aux outputs can be configured as VSP relays. Lights Interlock If enabled, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, Timeclock) selected above and turn the lights relay off when: filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the pool/spa suction return valves are in any position other than "pool only", or for the first 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, group, super chlorinate, or pH dispense functions. Lights Group The Lights Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the "Lights" button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 15 for specific programming information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters. When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is initiated will override any previous Group function. 25

If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to control other pool devices that
may require these options.
