Compatibility
This product is compatible with allAqua Logic controls operating with software revi-
sionr1.10orhigher. To verify the software level of yourAqua Logic control, press the
Menu button (possibly multiple times) until “Diagnostic Menu” is displayed. Next,
press the “>” or “<“ keys (possibly mulitple times) until the main and display soft-
ware revision levels are displayed (the “main” rev should be r1.10 or higher).
If the software revision level is less than r1.10 contact the GoldlineTechnical Service
Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM Eastern at 888-921-7665 for infor-
mation on upgrades.
Installation
1. Batteries are installed at the factory: There is no need to open the spa-side
unit.
2. Base Receiver required: For operation of the spa-side remote, theAqua Logic
control unit must have a base receiver (AQL-BASE-RF) installed. The receiver
allows theAqua Logic control until to communicate with the spa-side remote.
3. Teach the uniqueAquaLogicID code: The base receiver attached to theAqua
Logic control unit has a unique ID code that ensures that your unit will not affect
other systems in the neighborhood, and likewise, their remote will not affect
your system. To teach the ID code to the spa-side remote unit:
a. On any Aqua Logic display/keypad unit
press the “Menu” button (possibly multiple
times) until “Settings Menu” is displayed.
b. Press “<“ or “>” (again, possibly multiple
times) until “Teach Wireless” is displayed.
c. Press the “+” button to start the teaching
process.
d. Press and hold any button on the spa-side
remotefor4seconds. AtthispointtheLED
indicatoron thespa-side remoteshouldflash
3 times and theAqua Logic display should
say “Teach Wireless, Successful”. If the
LED indicator does not flash, then refer to
the Troubleshooting section of this manual
for additional information.
4. Applylabels: Aqua Logic PS series of control allow each output (e.g.AUX1) to
be re-named to what is actually being controlled. The spa-side remote comes
with a sheet of name labels—simply peel the appropriate label off the sheet and
apply to the appropriate set of buttons on the spa-side remote.
5. Installation is complete: you can now use the spa-side wireless remote.

Operation
The spa-side remote communicates with the base receiver on theAqua Logic control
unit using RF (radio frequency) technology. When you push a button on the spa-side
remote, it sends a command and flashes the LED indicator once. After the spa-side
remote receives a confirmation from theAqua Logic base the receiver, the LED indi-
cator on the spa-side remote flashes a 2nd time. Thus, 2 LED flashes are your confir-
mation that your command has been successfully transmitted to theAqua Logic con-
trol unit. If the LED doesn’t flash at all or else just flashes once after you’ve pushed
a button, refer to the Troubleshooting section for assistance in resolving these prob-
lems.
Valves POOL/SPA These buttons will allow you to select either pool or spa opera-
tion. You can not select spa spillover operation from the spa-
side remote.
Filter ON/OFF The ON/OFF buttons allow manual operation that will
override any automatic control settings (e.g. timeclock). The
manual setting will remain active until the next scheduled
automatic turn on/off event. There are some exceptions:
If the heater is operating and the heater cooldown function is
enabled, then pressing the OFF button will turn off the heater
and the pump will run for another 15 minutes to allow the
heater to cooldown before automatically turning off
If the freeze protection feature is enabled and the air tempera-
ture is below 38°F, then the pump will remain on to ensure that
the pipes do not freeze.

HeaterON/OFF Provided that the filter pump is running, normal Aqua Logic
operation will turn the heater on until the desired temperature
(see Settings Menu) is attained. The heater will then turn on
periodically, as required, to maintain that temperature. When
the ON button is pushed, the heater will turn on for a minimum
of5minutesoruntilthewaterreaches104°F Thisallowspeople
in the spa to temporarily override the normal temperature set-
ting. When the OFF button is pushed, the heater is turned off
regardless of the water temperature and will remain off until ei-
ther the ON button is pressed, or the start of the next normal
filter timer period.

Battery Replacement
The spa-side remote runs on two AAAbatteries. Since the internal circuits are only
active when you push a button, it is anticipated that the original, factory-installed,
batteries should provide years of service. If you do not at least see a single flash of the
LED indicator when you push a button, then the batteries may need replacement.
It is IMPORTANT that you carefully follow this procedure to ensure that your spa-
side remote retains its watertight integrity:
1. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 4 screws on the back of the spa-
side remote. These are special screws with built-in o-rings and are an important
part of making the spa-side remote watertight.
2. Separate the 2 halves of the remote. Do not touch the o-rings or allow any
debris to fall onto the o-ring surface.
3. Replace the 2 AAA batteries. Alkaline batteries are recommended for maxi-
mum life. If you observe any corrosion or water damage, contact the Goldline
Technical Service Dept Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM at 888-921-7665
for assistance.
4. Carefully replace the back cover on the spa-side remote
5. Re-install all 4 of the original screws.
a. Loosely tighten all four screws
b. Then go back and firmly tighten each screw.
6. Thespa-sideremotewillremembertheIDcodeoftheAquaLogic base receiver,
so it is not necessary to perform the “Teach Wireless” procedure again. Verify
proper operation by pressing any button and observing 2 quick flashes indicat-
ing that the message was transmitted to the Aqua Logic base receiver and a
confirmation was received.

Troubleshooting
If you believe that your system is not operating properly or if you have a general
question regarding system operation, you may call the Goldline Technical Service
Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM Eastern at 888-921-7665.
1. Can’tfindthe “TeachWireless” display: Press the “menu” button (possibly
more than once) until “Settings Menu” is displayed. Next, press the “<“ or “>”
buttons (possibly more than once) unit the “Teach Wireless” display appears.
If you get to the point where “Settings Menu” appears again, then this means
that theAqua Logic control unit is not communicating with the base receiver.
Check that the 4 wire cable from the base receiver is plugged into the “wire-
less" connector on the main printed circuit board. If this connector is already
plugged in (for more than 30 seconds), then call GoldlineTechnical Service for
assistance.
2. “Teach Wireless” failed: Ensure that the remote is powered when pressing
the button. This is indicated by a single flash of 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
receiver and the remote is too great—try moving the remote closer to the re-
ceiver. 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 communication with remote devices: The most likely cause is
that the distance between the base receiver and the remote is too great—try
moving the remote closer to the receiver. 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. Single LED flash when a button is pushed: The radio signal may be too
weak—try pointing the spa-side remote in the direction of the pool equipment
or try moving closer to the pool equipment. If that doesn’t work, then try the
“TeachWireless” procedure to ensure that the remote knows the ID code of the
base receiver and also what channel to communicate on. If this procedure is
not successful, then refer to the “Teach Wireless” failed section above.
5. The filterpump won’t turn off when the OFFbutton is pressed: (1) If the
heater cooldown feature is enabled and the heater is on, then pressing the OFF
button will cause the heater to turn off but leave the filter pump running for 15
more minutes to allow the heater to cooldown. Pressing the OFF button a 2nd
time will override the cooldown period and turn the pump off. (2) If the freeze
protection feature is enabled and the air temperature is less than 38°F then the
pump will run continuously and any OFF button press will be disregarded.
6. Functionswon’tturn on when the ONbuttonis pressed: (1) If the "System
Off" button (Aqua Logic PS versions only) has been pushed then all functions
are disabled. Press the "System Off" button again to resume normal operation.
(2) If the Aqua Logic system is in service mode, then functions can only be
turned on at the main unit display/keypad. Press the "Service" button once (or
twice) until normal operation is restored. (3) The fitler pump is turned off for
a short period of time while the valves are rotating. Normal operation will
resume automatically when the valve(s) have finished their rotation.
