Hayward ONCOM Operation Manual Download Page 29

Page: 29 / 32

System Overview

The OnCommand is a multifunction pool controller used to fully manage your pool/spa system. The OnCommand

can control pumps, valves, lighting, heaters, and chlorination. Although the OnCommand is easy to use, it is

important to completely read through this operating manual before attempting to operate the control.

NOTE: This manual assumes that the OnCommand has been wired and configured according to the Installation

Manual. Aspects of the OnCommand that pertain to system setup are not covered in this manual.

Automation

The OnCommand can control up to 4 high voltage (120/240V) pieces of equipment, up to 3 automatic valve

actuators, and a conventional and solar heater. Both manual and automatic (programmed) operation are available.

All of the control functions are programmed at the unit’s display/keypad. Although the OnCommand has no built-

in chlorinator feature, it can control an external Goldline Aqua Rite or Hayward Swimpure chlorinator.

Available displays depend on configuration.

If you call the Hayward/Goldline Technical Service

Dept. for assistance, they may ask for the software revisions of both the main unit and each of the

display/keypads or other devices that are attached to the system. Note that it is possible that different

display/keypads have different software revision levels. For this reason, it is advisable to check this

diagnostic menu item on every display.
