Installation
1. BaseReceiverrequired: For operation of the wireless remote display/keypad,
the Aqua Logic control unit must have a base receiver (AQL-BASE-RF) in-
stalled. The receiver allows theAqua Logic control until to communicate with
the spa-side remote.
2. Select Location: There are several considerations in choosing the location for
the wireless remote display/keypad:
Protectedfrom theweather: The wireless remote display/keypad must be
mounted indoors or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the
wireless remote display/keypad). The wireless remote display/keypad is
designed to mount onto a standard electrical utility box (same size as used
for a triple light switch) or can be mounted directly onto any wall surface.
Withinrange of BaseReceiver: The wireless remote display/keypad must
be installed within 200 ft. (assuming the signal will have to travel through
walls) or 400 ft. (line of sight) from the Base Receiver which is typically
mounted on the Aqua Logic main control unit at the pool equipment pad.
The Base Receiver can also be mounted up to 500 ft. away from the main
control unit to shorten the distance between it and any wireless remote. See
the "Remote Mounting of the Base Receiver" section of the Base Receiver
manualfor moredetails.
Near120V wall outlet: The wireless remote display/keypad uses a plug-in
power supply with a 6 ft. cable.
3. Mount on wall: The wireless remote display/keypad must be mounted indoors
or in a weather protected area (rain should never hit the display/keypad). Refer
to the diagram on the following page.
a. Remove the wireless remote display/keypad baseplate from the cover by
lifting up on the cover at the lower end of the keypad.
b. Thread the wall mount power supply’s output connector from behind and
through the opening in the left side of the baseplate.
c. Screw the baseplate in the desired position (screws supplied by installer).
d. Plug the power supply’s output connector into the mating connector on the
back of the wireless remote display/keypad.

e. Reattach the wireless remote display/keypad to the baseplate.
f. Plug the power supply into a 120VAC outlet.
4. Teachthe uniqueAquaLogic IDcode: 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 wireless remote unit:
a. On any otherAqua 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 pro-
cess.
d. Press and hold any button on the wireless re-
mote display/keypad for 4 seconds. At this
point the LCD on the wireless remote display/
keypad will indicate "Teach Wireless Success-
ful" and the local display/keypad on theAqua
Logic control unit will also confirm “Teach
Wireless Successful”. If this process is not
successful, then refer to the Troubleshooting
section of this manual for additional informa-
tion.
5. Apply labels: The Aqua Logic PS series of controls allow each output (e.g.
AUX1) to be renamed to what is actually being controlled. The wireless remote
display/keypad 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 wireless
remote display/keypad.
6. Installation iscomplete: You can now use the wireless remote display/keypad.

OPERATION
The wireless remote display/keypad communicates with the base receiver on the
Aqua Logic control unit using RF (radio frequency) technology. All of the display
information is transmitted from the Aqua Logic control unit to the wireless remote
display/keypad and all the button press information is transmitted by the Remote RF
unit back to theAqua Logic control unit.
If the display information is not being updated on a regular basis or if theAqua Logic
is not responding to buttons being pressed, then refer to the Troubleshooting sec-
tion for assistance in resolving these problems.
When power is turned on, all the LED indicators will flash briefly, the display back-
light will illuminate, and the following display will appear for a short period of time:
The "r1.00" is the software revision level. The actual revision level for your wireless
remote display/keypad may be different. Refer to theAqua Logic Operation Manual
for complete operating instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Can’t find the “Teach Wireless” 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 “wireless" connec-
tor 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. “TeachWireless” failed: Ensure that the remote is powered when pressing the
button. This is indicated by any message on the display of the remote. 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
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.
3. Unreliable communicationwith 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. Wirelessdisplay/keypadnotfunctioning(nodisplay,noLEDsilluminated)
If the display/keypad located on the main unit is working correctly, check that
the wall mount power supply is plugged into an active 120VAC outlet and its

output connector is plugged into the wireless remote display/keypad. If none of
the displays are working, check that 120V power is being applied to the main
control and that the 3A fuse (violet) is not blown.
5. Displaybacklightturnsoffafteraperiodoftime
The display backlight should always illuminate when you press any key on the
unit. If it turns off after a period of time, you can stop this by pressing the menu
key (possibly multiple times) until “Settings Menu” appears. Next press the “<”
or “>” key (possibly multiple times) until “Display Light” appears.At this point,
pressing either “+” or “-“ will allow you to select either “Always On” or “On for
60 sec.”. After you have selected the desired operation, press the “Menu”
button to lock in your setting. Note that this selection applies to this wireless
remote display/keypad only. Repeat the process of each display/keypad in the
system.
6. Displaybacklightalwayson
The display backlight should always illuminate when you press any key on the
unit. If it remains on after 60 seconds have elapsed since the last button push,
you can stop this by pressing the menu key (possibly multiple times) until “Set-
tings Menu” appears. Next press the “<” or “>” key (possibly multiple times)
until “Display Light” appears.At this point, pressing either “+” or “-“ will allow
you select either “Always On” or “On for 60 sec.”. After you have selected the
desired operation, press the “Menu” button to lock in your setting. Note that this
selection applies to this display/keypad only. Repeat the process for each dis-
play/keypad in the system.
7.
The last keypress
was not received
This is usually a temporary problem caused by interference from other equip-
ment that is using the same radio frequency. Try pressing the button again. If
this doesn’t work, go to the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel on any other
Aqua Logic display/keypad and select another channel. Note that after you
change the channel you will have to “re-teach” every wireless remote device in
the system.
8.
The base receiver
is not responding
If this is the first time you are using your remote, or if you have just installed a
new base receiver, run the “Teach Wireless” procedure from any other Aqua
Logic display/keypad.Also, the radio signal may be too weak—try pointing the
remote in the direction of the pool equipment or try moving closer to the pool
equipment. If that doesn’t work, then there may be other equipment that is using
the same frequency. Go to the Settings Menu/Wireless Channel on any other
Aqua Logic display/keypad and select another channel. Note that after you
change the channel you will have to “re-teach” every wireless remote device in
the system.
9.
Teach Wireless needs
to be run
This is caused by the remote not knowing the ID code of the base receiver. Run
the “Teach Wireless” procedure from any other Aqua Logic display/keypad.
