7.3 Glossary of PDA Handheld Remote Messages
BATTERY is LOW
- This message (located in DIAGNOSTICS under the MENU) indicates that the battery supplying power
to the Power Center clock (in case of power outage) is low, and should be replaced. The battery is a standard 9V, and may be
replaced by removing the battery door (marked on the Power Center - Power Center is located by the pool equipment).
CLEANER CANNOT BE TURNED ON WHILE SPA IS ON
- This message is displayed if the pool cleaner is activated when
in spa mode and water is circulating to the spa. The pool cleaner requires that water be circulating to the pool in order for it to
operate. Return to pool mode to activate the cleaner.
CLEANER CANNOT BE TURNED ON WHILE SPILLOVER IS ON
- The return valve has been rotated to the spa position
to give the spa spillover effect.
FREEZE PROTECT
- This message indicates that freezing conditions have been detected by the freeze protection sensor, and
that equipment assigned to freeze protection are active (for example, the
fi
lter pump). See
Section 6.3, Freeze Protection Menu
for
more information.
NOTE
The filter pump is always protected; spa and auxiliary circuits can be assigned to freeze protection. If a freeze protected
Auxiliary is turned off during freeze protection, a message will be displayed indicating that item is off but will turn on in X
amount of minutes. The minutes will vary depending on how long freeze mode has been active from 1 to 15 minutes.
SENSOR OPEN
- This error message indicates that the sensor is not installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool
service person to resolve this problem.
NOTE
If the message reads WATER TEMP OPEN, the heater will not fire. If message AIR TEMP OPEN is displayed, freeze
protection will not operate correctly.
POOL HEATER ENABLED
- This message indicates that the pool heater is ready to use but is not actually
fi
ring. The
fi
lter
pump must be on, and the water temperature must be below the setting for the heater to
fi
re.
PUMP WILL REMAIN ON WHILE SPILLOVER IS ON
- This message is displayed when you attempt to turn off the
fi
lter
pump while a spa spillover is on. Since the
fi
lter pump is necessary for spillover operation, the pump will remain on until the
spillover is turned off.
PUMP WILL TURN OFF AFTER COOL DOWN CYCLE
- This message indicates that the
fi
lter pump is circulating water to
cool down the heater. The
fi
lter pump will continue to run for
fi
ve minutes to protect the heater from damage, whenever the heater
has
fi
red and has been off for less than 5 minutes.
PUMP WILL TURN ON AFTER DELAY
- This message is displayed during pool/spa switching. The AquaLink
®
RS waits 35
seconds while the valves turn from pool position to spa position (or vice-versa) before activating the
fi
lter pump.
SERVICE MODE
- This message indicates that the PDA Handheld Remote has been locked out from the Power Center and is
not operational. Service mode is used by the pool service person to aid them in servicing the pool. The PDA Handheld Remote
will not be functional until the switch at the Power Center is moved back to AUTO mode.
SENSOR SHORT
- This error message indicates that the sensor is not installed properly or is malfunctioning. Call your pool
service person to resolve this problem.
NOTE
If the message reads WATER TEMP SHORT, the heater will not fire. If the message AIR TEMP SHORT is displayed,
freeze protection will not operate correctly.
SPA WILL TURN OFF AFTER COOL DOWN CYCLE
- When the system is in Spa Mode (water is circulating to the spa)
and the Spa button is pressed to switch water circulation to the pool, the system will not switch to Pool Mode for
fi
ve minutes, and
will continue to circulate the water (if the heater has
fi
red and has been off for less than
fi
ve minutes). This delay allows water to
cool the heater down by circulating water through it, preventing equipment damage.
TIMEOUT MODE
- This message indicates that the PDA Handheld Remote has been locked out from the Power Center and
is not operational. TIME OUT mode is used by the pool service person to aid them in servicing the pool. The PDA Handheld
Remote will not be functional for three hours, or until the switch at the Power Center is turned back to AUTO mode. The time
remaining of TIME OUT mode will appear at the bottom of the PDA screen.
SPILLOVER DISABLED WHILE SPA IS ON
- This message is displayed when the spa spillover is pressed while in spa mode
(water circulation is to spa). The spillover requires that water circulation is to pool in order to operate. The spillover will activate
when the system switches back to pool mode.
