not enter Teach Mode; press and hold the Teach Button to start the whole process over
again. At the end of Teach Mode the RF LED should go on and remain on solid; the pool
controller should display the message “Teach Wireless: Successful”. If this is not the
case then Teach Mode was unsuccessful and needs to be repeated.
RANGE TEST MODE
Range testing only applies if you are using a wireless connection between the ACHN
and the pool controller.
To initiate Range Test Mode on the ACHN: Disconnect the power jack, depress and
hold the Teach Button, and re-connect the power jack with the Teach Button depressed.
For the first several seconds after power is applied all 4 LEDs will be off; continue to
press the Teach Button. Then all 4 LEDs will begin to blink in unison and you should
release the Teach Button while this blinking is happening to enter Range Test Mode.
Note that after releasing the Teach Button with the ACHN in Range Test Mode the LINK
LED should either come on solid or begin to blink. If the LINK LED is blinking then the
ACHN is out of range of the pool controller. If the LINK LED comes on solid then you
should wait at least one minute to see how many more LEDs turn on; this is a slow
process and you will not get an accurate result unless you are patient. In Range Test
Mode the ACHN LEDs act like the bars on a cell phone: Each additional LED is one more
bar. If the signal strength is 2 bars or better then you have a usable communications
channel to the pool controller; if you have less than two bars or the LINK LED is
blinking then the ACHN needs to be relocated.
LED FUNCTIONALITY
LED functionality is shown below:
If all LEDs remain off check the power. If the RF LED remains off then you may need to
repeat the range test to make sure that the RF communications path between the pool
controller and the ACHN is sufficiently robust. If the Tx and Rx LEDs remain off then
check the Ethernet cable; the ACHN is probably not connected to the router.
LOCAL SERVER
The “local server” is a remote control web page that is served by the ACHN and acces-
sible from any PC connected to the same router that the ACHN is connected to. The
local server is complementary to the website, but it is also independent of the website.
In fact, local server functionality is present even when there is no Internet connection to
the World Wide Web.
