Manual System Operation While the main objective of the Pro Logic 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.

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. 3

Manual System Operation
While the main objective of the Pro Logic 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.
Output Names
The Pro Logic is shipped from the factory with each output labeled with a generic name (e.g. AUX1, VALVE3,
etc.). One of the features in the software (see Configuration Menu, page 17) is that each output can be assigned a
new name that is more descriptive of the equipment being controlled. This makes it much easier to operate all of the
equipment on your pool without having to memorize what each output controls. Insert name labels are also pro-
vided to be placed next to each display pushbutton. Since there is no way to know how your particular system is
configured, this manual will use the original generic names for each output.
Pool Filter Pump
The pool filter pump can be manually operated whether in Standard (single pump) or Dual Equipment (separate
pumps for both pool and spa) mode.
When in Standard mode, the display will refer to the pool filter pump as
“FILTER”.
When in Dual Equipment mode, the display will read “POOL FILTER”.
Single Speed Filter Pump:
If the pump is currently off, press the “FILTER” button to turn on the pump.
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.
