Aqua Plus Operation Manual and the owner’s manual of each remote.

AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4

The AQL2-Tx-RF-P-4 is a portable battery operated remote control designed to be used in a weather protected

area (rain should never hit the unit). This remote comes with a wall mounted power supply for recharging the built-

in batteries.

AQL2-SS-RF, AQL2-POD

The AQL2-SS-RF and AQL2-POD are waterproof portable remote controls that are designed to be used in and

around the pool/spa area.  These units float and can be left in the water for easy access.

Optional Base Station

The AQL2-BASE-RF optional base station must be installed if any wireless remote control is used. To install the

base station, remove the knockout on the upper left side of the Aqua Plus main control unit, insert the base station,

and then tighten the nut from the inside.  Also refer to the Base Station manual and the diagram on page 18.

Optional Valve Actuators

For optional actuators used with the Aqua Plus—note that the internal cams in the actuator may also have to be

adjusted depending on the way the actuator is mounted on the valve and the desired valve action.

Solar

If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps must be taken to ensure
proper operation of the solar system.  If the solar is operated by a valve, then the Valve3
output must be setup for solar logic.   If the solar is operated by a pump, then one of the AUX
relays must be set up for solar logic.  Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed.
This sensor is typically mounted near the collector array and is used to sense whether
sufficient solar heat is available.

If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature is
less than the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water.  The
desired temperature is in the “Settings Menu”.  If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted
to enter separate pool and spa desired temperature settings.  Depending on the position of
the pool/spa suction valve, the proper temperature setting will be used.

Solar Extend

If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time if solar heat is still available.  When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar
valve/pump and filter pump will turn off simultaneously.  Solar extend will NOT cause the
filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn off time when solar is operating.

Solar Priority

If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep
the conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available.  This provides the most cost
effective way of heating the pool.  When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater
will operate normally.

Allow Low Speed

This menu only appears if the pool filter is configured for 2-speed operation.  During default
operation, high speed mode is used whenever the solar heater is on.  If Allow Low Speed is
enabled, low speed pump operation will be allowed during solar heating except for the first 3
minutes after solar heat turns on.
