Two speed filter pump:
Requires 2 relays (FILTER plus one of the AUX relays) for proper operation of both
speeds.
!
IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow the wiring diagram below AND to configure the control
logic according to the Operation Instructions.
Lights:
A ground fault circuit breaker must be used to supply power for high voltage pool/spa lighting. Low
voltage lights will require an external transformer. For lighting systems that have both a light source and color
wheel, connect the light source to the “Lights” relay and then connect the color wheel to one of the AUX outputs.
Hayward Variable Speed Filter Pump:
Proper installation of the Hayward TriStar Variable Speed Control
(VSC) includes high voltage input wiring, communication wiring, and menu configuration/settings. Refer to the
following diagram for proper input wiring to the VSC. Wiring from a 240V breaker must connect through the
OnCommand’s Filter relay. The Filter relay is used to supply input power to the VSC pump control. The relay will
be on when the filter pump output is on. When the filter pump output is off, the relay will be off. Note that when
the filter pump relay is off (power off to the VSC), the OnCommand will not display errors or diagnostics for the
pump. The filter pump relay must be on for diagnostic function.

Lights Function
Although designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to the aux1 and
aux2 relays. If pool lights are wired to the lights relay, some options including Solar function, Low
Speed of a 2-Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection will not be necessary
and should be disabled. If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to control other pool
devices that may require these options. The function of each option is shown below.
Manual On/Off (default)
—the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS
button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer
—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The lights relay
will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual). The
LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump
– the OnCommand will turn on the lights relay whenever the low
speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed” filter pump
option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
Timeclock
– the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock in the
Timers Menu (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn
the output on and off.
Solar
– the lights relay can operate a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump is
running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. It is
important to note that “Solar Control” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for proper operation
to occur.
Group
– the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group
function is terminated. See Lights Group section for operation information for the Group function.
Super Chlorinate
– if “Chlorinator” is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate
cycle when the Lights button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one
button can be assigned to this function.
