Optional Remote Controls
Hayward offers a variety of wired and wireless remote control options for the Aqua Plus 16v. Each model gives
you the ability to control your pool’s functions from a remote location, away from the Control Center.
Wired Remote Controls
Up to 3 wired remote controls can be installed. See “Electrical Wiring” (page 19) for instructions on running the
cable from the Aqua Plus 16v main unit to the remote control. Also refer to the remote’s installation instructions for
more information.
AQL2-Wx-PS-16
The AQL2-Wx-PS-16 is a wall mounted display/keypad which must be mounted indoors or in a weather pro-
tected area (rain should never hit the unit). This remote control is intended to mount on to a standard electrical utility
box (same box as a triple light switch, ideal for new construction) or can be mounted directly onto any wall surface.
When selecting a location, note that the wire to the Aqua Plus 16v main unit must be less than 500’ long.
AQL-SS-6B-x, AQL-SS-D-x (x=W or B for White or Black)
The AQL-SS-6B and AQL-SS-D are double insulated, waterproof devices which are intended for installation at
the water's edge. The remote controls come with an attached 150’ cable and are typically installed at the tile-line
of the spa wall, or in the deck, within arm's reach of a pool/spa occupant.
Wireless Remote Controls
A single Base Station must be installed on the Aqua Plus 16v in order to use any of the Hayward wireless remote
controls. There is no limit on the number of wireless remotes that can used. The maximum distance between
wireless remotes and the base station on the Aqua Plus 16v main control unit is 400 feet (120m) line of sight or 200
feet (60m) through walls, etc. If in doubt about the distance, test operation before installing the remote. All wireless
models require the user to run the “Teach Wireless” routine in the Settings Menu. This information can be found in
the Aqua Plus 16v Operation Manual and the owner’s manual of each remote.
AQL2-Wx-RF-PS-16
The AQL2-Wx-RF-PS-16 is a wall mounted wireless control designed to be mounted indoors. This remote
control comes with a wall mounted power supply.
AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-16
The AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-16 is a portable battery operated remote control designed to be used in a weather pro-
tected area (rain should never hit the unit). The AQL2-Tx-RF-PS-16 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 pool/spa water for easy access.
Optional Base Station
Use the AQL2-BASE-RF for all AQL2 wireless remote controls. To install the base station, remove the knockout
on the upper left side of the Aqua Plus 16v 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 20.
Optional Valve Actuators
For optional actuators supplied with the Aqua Plus 16v—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.

Aux1 External Input Interlock
When Aux1 External Input Interlock is enabled, the Aux1 output will be forced off when the external
input is active. This will have precedence over freeze protection. Aux1 External Input Interlock is not
available for solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, group, super chlorinate, or pH dispense functions.
Aux1 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection
is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze protection temperature, the
Pro Logic will turn on the aux relay to circulate the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation
of the AUX output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for
the main circulation system. Freeze Protection is not available for low speed filter pump, dimmer,
group, super chlorinate or pH dispense functions.
Aux1 Pump Speed
This is the speed of the filter pump when the Aux1 output is on. 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 Aux1 output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from
“Lowest” to “Highest” in 5% increments.
