quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-

ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can

be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try

to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

— Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

IndustryCanadaStatement

INSTALLATION

Installation is very easy and should just take a few minutes. For most installations the

Base Station will mount directly on the ProLogic orAqua Logic main control unit (see

description and diagram below). For some installations where the remote devices are

a long distance from the Base Station or where there are interfering walls (eg.Asteel

shed in the yard or a steel reinforcing grid inside a stucco wall on the house), the Base

Station may have to mounted remotely from the control unit in order to achieve

reliable communications. Refer to the instructions and diagram on page 3 for more

information regarding remote mounting.

Direct Mounting on Pro Logic or Aqua Logic Control Unit

Disconnect power and then remove the panel from the Pro Logic or Aqua Logic

control unit. Remove the knock-out on the upper left side of the enclosure and mount

theRF Base Station. SecuretheBase Station inplace by firmlytighteningthe nut from

inside of the enclosure. Lastly, plug the pigtail cable into the connector labeled

“Wireless Connector” on thePro Logic/Aqua Logic main circuit board.

Remote Mounting of the Base Station

The Base Station can be mounted up to 500 feet away from the Pro Logic or Aqua

Logic control unit. This feature is helpful if the main control unit is located a long

distance from the pool area or if there are buildings that may interfere with the radio

communication between the Base Station and the remote devices.

1. Mount the Base Station on an standard, outdoor rated electrical box.

2. Cut the each of the 4 wires in the Base Station "pigtail" cable and then install the

connector half into the "Wireless Connector" on the main printed circuit board

(PCB) in the Pro Logic/Aqua Logic control unit.

3. Use a 4 conductor cable and splice both ends of the cable making sure that the

colors match up correctly.

OPERATION

Every Base Station is manufactured with a unique ID code. This allows private,

secure communication with all of your remote devices while ignoring any signals

transmitted by other wireless devices including any other Pro Logic/Aqua Logic

controls in the neighborhood.

IMPORTANT: Before tryingto use anyremote device: Youmust "teach" thecorrect

ID code to the remote device so it knows which Base Station to communicate with.

Refer to the Pro Logic/Aqua Logic Operation Manual or the manual for your remote

device for "teaching" instructions .

The Base Station and remote devices are programmed with a sophisticated protocol

that automatically switches frequencies if other devices are interfering. In the un-

likely event that it can not find a usable frequency, it may be necessary to change

channels. Refer to the Pro Logic/Aqua Logic Operation Manual for instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

.1. Can’tfind the“TeachWireless”display: Press the “menu” button (possi-

bly more than once) until “Settings Menu” is displayed. Next, press the “<“ or “>”

buttons (possibly more than once) until “Teach Wireless” display appears. If you go

through all of the displays without ever seeing the "Teach Wireless" and you get to

the point where “Settings Menu” appears again, then this means that the Pro Logic/

Aqua Logic control unit is not communicating with the Base Station. Check that the

4 wire cable from the Base Station is plugged into the “wireless connector” on the

main printed circuit board (refer to the Installation section for connection diagram). If

this connector is already plugged in (for more than 30 seconds), then call Goldline

Technical Service for assistance.

2. “Teach Wireless” failed: Ensure that the remote is powered when pressing the

button. This is indicated by a single flash on the LED on the spa-side remote or

a message on the display of the in-house remotes. If the remote is powered, then

the next most likely cause is that the distance between the Base Station and the

remote is too great—try moving the remote closer to the station. Lastly, there

may be other equipment in the neighborhood that is using the same frequency.

To see if this is the case, go to the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel and select

another channel. Note that after you change the channel you will have to “re-

teach” every wireless remote device in the system.

3. Unreliable communicationwith remotedevices: The most likely cause is that

the distance between the Base Station and the remote is too great—try moving

the remote closer to the station. Lastly, there may be other equipment in the

neighborhood that is using the same frequency. To see if this is the case, go to

the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel and select another channel. Note that after

you change the channel you will have to “re-teach” every wireless remote device

in the system.

4. No communicationwith remotecontrols: Try the “TeachWireless” procedure

to ensure that the remote knows the ID code of the Base Station and also what

channel to communicate on. If this procedure is not successful, then refer to the

“Teach Wireless” failed section above.
