Wireless

 -

  From the Network Connections screen that follows, select the desired access point.  

You will then be prompted to input the password for that access point.  Once you input the 

password and press the check mark to continue, a Network Diagnostic screen will appear and 

the AQR S3 Omni will run through a series of checks to verify connection to the access point.  

When the system is done running through the diagnostics, press the check mark to continue to 

the next section of the Configuration Wizard.

Wired

 - For a wired connection, run an Ethernet cable from the Controller to the router (page 

17). After selecting “Wired”, the system will display the ip address and other network properties. 

Press the check mark and the AQR S3 Omni will verify the network connection. You can now exit 

back to the main menu and continue with the Configuration Wizard.

External Antenna

 - Make this selection when setting up a Hayward HLWLAN. Once the system 

is done running through the diagnostics, press the check mark to continue to the next section 

of the Configuration Wizard. 

Not Now

 - Skip network setup and continue with Configuration Wizard.

Enable Screen Color Changes For System Alerts?

 - To alert the user of warning conditions (no 

flow, failed sensor, etc.), the AQR S3 Omni can change its screen color. The screen can display yellow 

or red depending on the severity of the condition.   

Time and Date

 - Time and date can be set manually or you can choose to have it updated automati-

cally from the internet. When registering the AQR S3 Omni and creating a web account, you’ll be 

prompted to enter a Time Zone. Be sure to enter the same time zone as the physical location of the 

AQR S3 Omni otherwise schedules and timers will be inaccurate.

Select Desired Units of Measure 

- If Standard is selected, temperatures will be displayed in Fahr-

enheit.  If Metric is selected, temperatures will be displayed in Celsius. 

MSP ID 

-  The AQR S3 Omni MSP ID number will be displayed.  This unique number is used to 

identify your AQR S3 Omni when setting up a web account.  A web account is needed to access the 

AQR S3 Omni over the web by mobile devices.  

IMPORTANT:

  write down the MSP ID number for 

future use.  The MSP ID number will be needed when entering the configuration wizard after initial 

configuration as well as entering and exiting Simple Mode.  Simple Mode is a customizable screen 

that can be set up for quick access to pool/spa functions and features.

How many Bodies of Water?  

The AQR S3 Omni can support one or two bodies of water, typically 

a pool and spa. Select the number and advance. You’ll be brought to a screen where you can add, 

delete or edit a Body of Water.  When initially configuring the AQR S3 Omni, a “?” will appear in the 

Body of Water button.  You will have to configure this body of water by selecting it and then touch-

ing the Advance button.  When finished configuring bodies of water, you’ll be returned to this same 

screen.  Touch the Done button and advance to the next section of configuration.  

IMPORTANT:

 The following instructions are for Body of Water 1 configuration.  When finished with 

the first Body of Water, you’ll follow the same instructions for the second Body of Water.  When 

configuring the second Body of Water, you’ll have the option of using “Shared Equipment”.  If Shared 

Equipment is enabled, the second Body of Water will use the filter pump as well as other equipment
