High Voltage (120/240V) Pool Equipment
All OnCommand relays are double pole (they make/break both “legs” of 240V circuits) and are rated at 3HP/25A
at 240V (1½HP/25A at 120V). Refer to the diagram below for typical relay wiring.
!
WARNING: Do not use the OnCommand to control an automatic pool cover. Swim-
mers may become entrapped underneath the cover.

Lights Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for the Lights
output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired. When “Dimmer”
is selected, and the Lights output is manually turned on, the “+” and “-” buttons adjust the level from
20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next time the lights are turned from off to on.
Lights Interlock
If enabled, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, Timeclock)
selected above and turn the lights relay off when: filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump
operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the pool/spa suction return valves
are in any position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in
the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for solar, low speed filter pump, super
chlorinate, dimmer or group.
Lights Group
The Lights Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the “Lights”
button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 13 for specific programming information.
There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command will be initiated
(Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu selects the desired functions
and their respective control parameters.
Lights Freeze Protection
This function helps protect equipment that is wired to the lights relay against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze temperature
threshold, the OnCommand will energize the lights relay. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation
of the lights relay during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the
main circulation system.
Lights Pump Speed
This is the speed of the pump when the Lights output is on. The choices are the Settings Menu speed
and a speed that is unique to the Lights output only. The default selection is “Settings Menu”. This
is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu for normal filter operation. If an
alternate speed is desired when the Lights output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from “Lowest” to
“Highest” in 5% increments.
