Control Panel Overview

Basic Operation
The AquaLink
®
RS can turn your pool/spa equipment on and off in two ways:
First, you can press the button of the equipment you want to turn on to activate the equipment. When the LED above
a button is illuminated, it means that equipment is on (with the exception of the heater buttons; see Section 3.4 for
more details). When the LED above a button flashes, the equipment is being protected by a built-in safety delay (see
Section 6.1 for a description of safety delays).
Second, you can also program the equipment to turn on and off at specific times. See page Section 4.2.1 for a detailed
explanation of how to program equipment for automatic operation.

Battery Back-Up
In the event of a power failure, DATE and TIME will be backed-up by the coin cell battery located in the power center
enclosure. All other programs and Menu setups do not require battery to store information.
2.3
Power Interruption
In the event there is a power interruption, and the AquaLink
®
RS system is in service or time out mode, the system
will default to Auto. In previous firmware versions, the system would default to last mode of operation.
