3. Electrical Wiring
•
Ensure that Power is disconnected prior to wiring the OnCommand
•
Follow all local and NEC (CEC if applicable) codes
•
Use copper conductors only
The OnCommand requires both high and low voltage connections. To gain access to the wiring compartments,
open the door and remove the left and right panel covers. A divider separates the OnCommand into low voltage
and high voltage compartments. All low voltage connections will be made to the printed circuit board (PCB) on the
left side of the divider. These connections include actuators, sensors, heaters, etc. All high voltage connections
such as PCB input power, pumps, lights, etc. are made on the right side of the divider.
Grounding
A ground bus bar is located in the high voltage compartment of the OnCommand. Connect a ground wire from the
primary electrical panel to this ground bus bar. Also use this ground bar to ground each piece of high voltage (120
or 240VAC) equipment that is connected to the OnCommand control relays.
High Voltage Wiring
Input Wiring
The OnCommand requires 120VAC, .6A input power to operate the control logic circuits under maximum load.
This power should come from a circuit breaker rated at 125% of the intended load or the next higher size available.
Leads are supplied for input wiring as shown on the diagram on the following page.

WARNING: Do not use the OnCommand to control an automatic pool cover. Swim-

Aux1 Function
Manual On/Off (default)
—the aux relay will alternate between turning on and off when the aux button
is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer
– the aux relay will turn on when the AUX button is pressed and then will turn off
automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu, Operation Manual). The AUX button can
also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump
– the OnCommand will operate the aux 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 aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux1 timeclock in the Timers
Menu. The AUX button can also be used to turn the output on and off.
Solar
– the aux relay operates 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 aux relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group
function is terminated. See Aux1 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 Aux button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one
button can be assigned to this function.
