Once the local server starts, it will show a display that corresponds to the pool controller

associated with your ACHN (Figure 3).  If the display and buttons are functional, go to

"Using the Local Server" (page 6) for more information.

If the page appears but the buttons do not respond, your home network may not

support URL access to the local server.  Try accessing the ACHN using its IP address as

described in following section.

Accessing the Local Server using the ACHN's IP Address

 - 

To find the ACHN's IP

address, follow the procedure below:
1)

Using the Windows "Start" button, select "Run" (Figure 4).

Remote Control

 This page is the website equivalent of the local server and allows you to control the

selected pool.  Use this page to turn on/off pool features, change heat settings, change

chlorination settings, etc.  A sample screenshot of the Remote Control page for a PS-8 is

shown in below:

Note that a hardware terminal has separate buttons and LEDs. For the buttons

below the display, each button has one or more LEDs associated. The Remote

Control page 

does not have separate buttons and LEDs

. On the Remote Control

page, the LEDs 

are built into the buttons

. The appearance of the button indicates

the LED state: A light gray button means the LED is OFF, a bright green button

means that the LED is ON, and a light blue button means that the LED is blinking.

You will get used to this system quickly.

On a hardware terminal, 

Pool

Spa

, and 

Spillover

 are three LEDs associated with

one button. Pressing that button advances the Pool / Spa / Spillover setting to the

next state. On the Remote Control page, it appears that there are three buttons but

all three buttons function as one. Clicking on 

Pool

 does not select pool mode.

Rather, clicking on 

Pool

Spa

, or

 Spillover

 will advance the Pool / Spa / Spillover

setting to the next state, just like on the hardware terminal.

The button response on the Remote Control page is not as fast as it is on the local

server. Use your mouse to click on a button; the button will turn black momentarily

and show the word “SENT” to indicate that the button press was accepted.

The Remote Control page can also unlock the pool configuration menu. This is

done by clicking on the two by twenty text display while the “Configuration Menu-

Locked” status is displayed. Clicking on the two by twenty text display at any

other time will have no effect.
