The CoverLink Wireless Control system controls access to pool cover operation. The CoverLink Wireless Control
uses a Personal Identication Number (PIN) in place of a Key. Entering a valid PIN into the Control Pad allows
access to the cover and uncover operation for the pool cover.
COVERLINK WIRELESS CONTROL FEATURES
CoverLink Control Pad and CoverLink Receiver
The CoverLink Control system is factory programmed and ready for use.
THE CONTROL PAD MUST BE MOUNTED IN FULL VIEW OF THE POOL COVER.
Control Pad features:
• Up to 3 separate Control Pads can operate the same pool cover.

(The pool owner should keep a record of PIN to memory location, for reference).
• A unique signal that is sent from the Control Pad and stored by the Receiver when linked.
• Each Control Pad must be linked to the Receiver and set to:
»The same channel number and the same network ID number
Receiver features:
• 3 control buttons: • 32 usable Channels: • 100 Network ID numbers:

Coverlink™ Wireless Control
Troubleshoot Guide
ExPLANATION OF CHANNEL AND NETWORK ID
CHANNEL:
The channel controls the frequency at which signals are transmitted. Frequencies range in thirty-two
increments between 903MHz (channel 00) to 926MHz (channel 31). Thus, if signal interference is
observed during cover operation (intermittent or hesitant cover movement) another interference free
channel may be selected.
NETWORK ID:
The network ID allows multiple cover systems (within the same vicinity) to run without interference while
being on the same channel. There are one hundred Network ID (00 to 99). If each cover system is on a
different network ID, they will run interference free from one another on the same channel.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Auto-shutoff Verication
Cover system does not operate or
operates intermittently. Step 1. Check for secure wiring connections at the Circuit Breaker,
Auto Shutoff Board, Receiver Board, and Motor.
Check that the Antenna wire is secure and not damaged.
All wiring is good, go to step 2.
Step 2. Reboot the receiver:
Turn the system power off to the receiver and auto-shutoff
board, leave it off for 30 seconds, then turn the system power
back on.
Step 3. Use the CoverLink override buttons on the receiver
(Uncover & Cover).
If the buttons work, go to Troubleshoot CoverLink.
If the buttons do not work, go to step 3
Step 4. Disconnect the receiver from the auto-shutoff. Short the key
switch wires together (Black to Yellow should cover the pool &
Black to Green should uncover the pool).
If the Auto-shutoff works, go to Troubleshoot CoverLink.
If the Auto-shutoff does not work, see Document 600356 Adjusting
the AMP Limiter and LED Function of the Auto-shutoff.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Troubleshoot CoverLink
The CoverLink system does not
operate or operates intermittently
Step 1. Reboot the receiver:
Turn the system power off to the receiver and auto-shutoff
board, leave it off for 30 seconds, then turn the system power
back on. (Skip step 1 if completed in Auto-shutoff Verication)
Step 2. Try the receiver override buttons, Cover and Uncover
If the buttons work, go to step 4.
If the buttons do not work, continue to step 3.
Step 3. Reset the receiver: Verify Board Revision before proceding
(located on Receiver Label)
For Revisions up to 5
Turn power "OFF" for 10 sec.
Hold Setup button down while turning power "ON".
The Green LED on the Receiver will ash briey indicating
the erasure is complete.
For Revisions 5+ or higher
Push and release Setup button. Wait for red LED to go out.
• The Receiver is returned to factory default setting.
Try the receiver override buttons again:
If the buttons work, go to step 6.
If the buttons do not work, (the yellow LED's on the auto-shutoff
board do not come on when the override buttons are pushed)
replace the receiver.
After replacing the receiver see Section 5. Link Control Pad and
Receiver.
Step 4. Try the control pad:
Enter a valid PIN and press C (Cover) or U (Uncover).
If the control pad did not work, move to step 5.
If the control pad works, system is set and ready to use.
Step 5. Reboot the Control Pad:
Remove one battery from the control pad, wait 30 seconds,
re-install the battery. (Install new batteries if batteries are more
than 1 year old).
Try the control pad:
If the control pad did not work, go to step 3 and reset the receiver.
If the control pad works, system is set and ready to use.
Step 6. Re-link the control pad to the receiver.
see Section 5. Link Control Pad and Receiver
If these steps do not x the problem then the receiver and/or the
control pad are bad and must be replaced.
If you have an extra control pad and/or receiver try the following to help
you identify which of the two are bad.
With an extra control pad, try to link it to the existing receiver.
With an extra receiver, try to link it to the existing control pad.
