Touch Screen - connection 

Each touch screen control is to be wired to the Aquamaster Control Box. The maximum cable 
length from the touch screen control to the Aquamaster Control Box is 50 meters. Recommended 
minimum cable size is 24AWG (7/020) or Category 5 shielded data cable.

An RJ12 / RJ25 modular plug is to be terminated on both ends of the communications cable 
between the touch screen control and Aquamaster Control Box. The terminated modular plugs are 
to be plugged into the rear modular socket of the touch screen control and to the modular sockets 
marked TOUCHSCREEN on the PCB in the Aquamaster Control Box. 

Flow Switch 

The Flow switch connection plug must be inserted 
into the socket labelled FLOW SWITCH within the 
Aquamaster Control Box to allow the system to 
operate correctly. 

Temperature Sensors 

The solar roof sensor (SOLAR SENSOR), pool 
water sensor (POOL/SPA SENSOR) and ambient 
air sensor (AIR SENSOR) must be inserted into 
the relevant socket within the Aquamaster Control 
Box for the Aquamaster to operate correctly.

Spa Mode Output 

The SPA MODE OUTPUT is a 24V dry contact 
which is activated when spa mode is enabled. This 
socket may be used on compatible equipment 
e.g. reducing the chlorination level to the spa 
whilst in spa mode. This feature is available on 
some brands of chlorinators.

The Aquamaster can be paired with a Hydrochlor 
salt water chlorinator which if connected, is able 
to drop the chlorination output level suitable for 
spa use.

Valve Actuators 

The Aquamaster can control up to three automatic valve 
actuators. Two of the valve outputs are dedicated to the 
pool/spa suction (Valve1) and return (Valve2) valves. Valve 
3 is for general purpose use for diverting water flow to 
solar, water feature or to an infloor cleaning system.
