Operation
The Aqua Pod handheld control gives the user the power to program all the operating
parameters of the Aqua Logic control system remotely as well as viewing equipment
status and temperatures. The following information discusses the Aqua Pod's display
and pushbuttons.
Aqua Pod Display
Refer to the diagram and corresponding information below.
1.
Signal Strength
The Signal Strength icon shows the status of the radio connection between the Aqua
Pod and the AQL2-RF-BASE base station. The more bars that are shown on the icon,
the better the strength of the connection. Signal strength will decrease as the Aqua
Pod is moved further away from the AQL2-RF-BASE or if obstructions such as walls,
fences, etc. are located between the Aqua Pod and AQL2-RF-BASE.
2.
Battery Status
The Battery icon indicates the status of the Aqua Pod's battery. The more bars that are
shown on the icon, the higher the battery charge. Charge the Aqua Pod when the
battery status is low or when the bars disappear. During charging, the battery bars
will move from left to right.
3.
Date/Time and Check System error
Normally, the date and time is shown in this location on the display. The date and time
are sent from the Aqua Logic automatically. Note that all timers will refer to this
information for starting and stopping timed events. If this information is not accurate,
pool/spa equipment may not run properly.
When an error occurs that requires someone to check the system, "Check System"
will be shown in this location on the display. Refer to the Aqua Logic manual for
Troubleshooting.
4.
Pool, Spa and Air Temperatures
This location of the display will show the pool, spa and/or air temperatures depending
on how the system is configured.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
Can’t find the "Teach Wireless" display:
From the Aqua Logic control (or any
direct wired display/keypad) press the "menu" button (possibly more than once)
until "Settings Menu" is displayed. Next, press the "<" or ">" buttons (possibly
more than once) until the "Teach Wireless" display appears. If you get to the
point where "Settings Menu" appears again, then this means that the Aqua
Logic control unit is not communicating with the base station. Check that the 4
wire cable from the base station is plugged into the "wireless" connector on the
main printed circuit board. If this connector is already plugged in (for more than
30 seconds), then call Goldline Technical Service for assistance.
2.
"Teach Wireless" failed:
Ensure that the remote is powered when pressing the
button. This is indicated by any message on the display of the remote. If the
remote is powered, then the next most likely cause is that the distance between
the base station and the remote is too great—try moving the remote closer to the
receiver. Lastly, there may be other equipment in the neighborhood that is using
the same frequency. To see if this is the case, go to the Settings Menu/Wireless
Channel and select another channel. Note that after you change the channel you
will have to "re-teach" every wireless remote device in the system.
3.
Unreliable communication with remote devices:
The most likely cause is that
the distance between the base station and the remote is too great—try moving
the remote closer to the receiver.
4.
Wireless display/keypad not functioning (no display):
If the display/keypad located on the main unit is working correctly, check that
there is battery power to the Aqua Pod. Plug the charging stand into an active
120VAC outlet and insert the Aqua Pod. The display should activate and Aqua
Pod should function normally.
5.
The last keypress
was not received
This is usually a temporary problem caused by interference from other equip-
ment that is using the same radio frequency. Try pressing the button again.
6.
The base receiver
is not responding
If this is the first time you are using your remote, or if you have just installed a
new base station, run the "Teach Wireless" procedure from any other Aqua
Logic display/keypad. Also, the radio signal may be too weak—try pointing the
remote in the direction of the pool equipment or try moving closer to the pool
equipment.
7.
Teach Wireless needs
to be run
This is caused by the remote not knowing the ID code of the base station. Run
the "Teach Wireless" procedure from any other direct wired Aqua Logic dis-
play/keypad.
