Configuration Parameters

Read over the Configuration Parameters to familiarize yourself with the configuration definitions and options for the Pool Control System.

The configuration settings will automatically be set to operate according to a default specified by the Dip Switch Settings prior to Start Up. Settings other than Day/Time and Filter Settings do not need to be configured for operation but should be set for user preference.

Filter Cycles	All Disabled

Mode: specifies which system mode the device is allowed to operate in. Choices are Pool, Spa, and Both. Spillover Mode is included with Pool Mode.

Maximum Speed: choices are Disable, On/Off, and High/Low/ Off for Relay and Valve devices; Disable, On/Off, and High/Low/Off and Hi/Med/Low/Off for Triac devices. For 2-speed Relay and Valve devices, Output 1 is turned on for low speed, Output 2 for high speed. The two outputs are never turned on together.

Output 1: set to Internal for devices connected to the main control board, External for devices connected to an Expansion Box.

Expansion Boxes: 0 for an Internal device, 1, 2, 3, or 4 to specify an Expansion Box (# set by rotary switch in the Expansion Box).

Freeze Protect: if set to ‘Enable,’ the device will be turned on when the air temperature drops below freezing.

Relays: on the main control board, relays are numbered from 1 to 10. Relay 9 is the Chlorine Generator Control relay, and Relay 10 is the Low Voltage Heater relay. In an Expansion Box, relays are numbered from 1 to 8.

Valves: valves are numbered from 1 to 6 on the main control board, 1 and 2 in an Expansion Box. If the valve is set to “enable,” the device will be turned off whenever the suction and return valves move.

Output 2, Expansion Boxes, and Device No: these are only used for Relay and Valve devices set to a Maximum Speed.

Most configurations have a single filter pump, configured as Filter Pump 1. A two-water-body, two-pump system has two filter pumps, with Filter Pump 1 being the pool pump and Filter Pump 2 the spa pump.

Heaters are added to the system by configuring the Heater 1, Heater 2, Heat Pump, Solar Valve, and Solar Boost Pump devices.

Heater 1 is the main heater in the system. It can be Gas, ER, or a Heat Pump. In a two-water-body two-pump system Heater 1 is the pool heater.

Heater 2 is the spa heater in a two-water-body two-pump system. It can be Gas, ER, or a Heat Pump.

NOTE: If the Heat Pump is the main heater in the system, it must be configured as Heater 1, not Heat Pump.

Solar Valve and Solar Boost Pump must be configured as required to support a solar heat system.

NOTE: The solar heat system is only applicable to the pool and cannot be used with a Spa Only system or on the Spa side of a two water body two pump system. In systems containing both a pool and a spa, solar heat is only used when the system is in Pool mode.

There are two types of devices: Pre-defined and Auxiliary. Predefined devices have specific behaviors associated with them and must be properly selected and configured to operate correctly. Auxiliary devices are simple On/Off or two-speed devices.

Pool Light, Spa Light: these are pre configured to the Light 1 and Light 2 triacs on the controller board, but can be reassigned to any relay, valve, or triac.

Filter Pump: this is automatically assigned to Relay 1. If the pump is two-speed the second connection can be assigned to any other relay on the main board.

Heater: can be assigned to either the Low Voltage Heater relay or any large relay for 120 volt systems.

Filter Pump 2, Heater 2: these only apply to the two-water body two-pump configuration where there are two-filter-pumps and heaters. They are not automatically assigned.

Cleaner: controls an automatic pool cleaner. For a suction-side cleaner, Cleaner must be assigned to the cleaner valve. For a pressure-side cleaner, assign Cleaner to the boost pump relay.
