Introduction
This manual assumes that the OmniPL has been installed and configured according to the Installation Manual and is using the latest firmware version available
from Hayward. The OmniPL can now be programmed with user desired settings such as schedules, themes, and favorites. This manual will also explain how to
manually turn pool equipment on/off, program settings for specific equipment, view pool equipment status and conditions, and more.
Now that the initial configuration has been completed, the OmniPL will automatically go to the Home Screen or Idle Screen. All settings and operation functions
can be accessed from the Home Screen. Note that if the OmniPL Control Pad is not touched for more than two minutes, the Idle Screen will be displayed.
Using the Control Pad
The OmniPL uses a local touchscreen terminal as the main interface with the device. Once configured, the OmniPL can be controlled remotely using various
Hayward remote terminals or, when connected to the home’s network, by Internet enabled devices such as computers, tablets and phones. The Control Pad
must be used to access the Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard is used for initial configuration (completed during the installation process) and for
any changes to existing configuration.
Idle Screen
The OmniPL Control Pad will display the idle screen after two minutes of user inactivity. When the filter pump is on, the Idle Screen will display the current
temperature of the Body of Water shown in the upper left corner. If the OmniPL is configured to control two Bodies of Water, the idle screen will toggle between
both. On the right side of the screen, the air temperature will toggle with the date.
Home Screen
When the idle screen is touched, the OmniPL will display the Home Screen. This screen will give the user access to all functions, settings and configuration
options.

Power Button
The power button is displayed at all times when the OmniPL is not idle. When touched, it offers the following 4 functions:
Shut Down - When Shut Down is selected, the OmniPL will turn off all pool equipment and report when it is safe to remove power. When this message is
displayed, you can either power off the unit or restart the OmniPL by touching the large power button displayed on the left side of the screen.
Service Mode (page 26) - Service Mode will turn off all pool equipment and disable all remote controls including networked devices. Service Mode is useful
to prevent scheduled operation and disable remote operation while servicing the pool. After selecting Service Mode, there are two options:
Service Mode (Standard): The OmniPL will remain in Service Mode until you manually exit. To exit Service Mode, touch the power button and select the
Service Mode button again.
Service Mode Timed: Before entering Service Mode, you will select a Service Mode timeout. This is the amount of time that the OmniPL will stay in
Service Mode before automatically exiting. The timeout can be set between 1-96 hours. There is no need to exit Service Mode manually.
Features Off - Features Off offers a quick way to turn off all equipment with a single touch of a button. Note that the filter pump, heater, lights and chlorination
will continue to run if scheduled.
Simple Mode (page 30)- Simple Mode is a customizable screen that can be set up for quick access to your Favorites (page 18). You can set up only the Favor-
ites that you want shown while in Simple Mode. Because it’s customizable, Simple Mode can provide a convenient way to access the most common functions
for owners as well as a handy solution to limit access to other users. For information on how to create and delete Simple Mode functions, refer to the “Favorites”
section in this manual as well as page 30. The MSP ID number is needed when entering and exiting Simple Mode.
Selecting a Body of Water - Left Side of Home Screen
The left side of the Home Screen allows you to select and control a Body of Water. If more than one Body of Water is used (typically a pool and spa), pressing
the left and right arrows in the middle of the screen will toggle between the Bodies of Water. If just a pool is configured, there will be no arrows shown.

Features Screen - Controlling a Body of Water
When the desired Body of Water is displayed, touch the left side of the screen to advance to the Body of Water Features Screens. The items shown on the
Features Screen relate to that Body of Water ONLY. To control a different Body of Water, select the desired Body of Water at the Home Screen first, then go to
the Features Screens.
The various buttons shown in the Body of Water Features Screens are related to initial configuration. For example, if you configured a gas heater to heat the
Spa Body of Water, the heater setting for the gas heater will be found in the Spa Features Screens.
Favorites - Right Side of Home Screen
The right side of the Home Screen is Favorites. These buttons offer universal control for Backyard equipment and all Bodies of Water regardless of which one is
displayed. Up to four Favorite buttons will be shown on the home screen. To access more Favorites, touch the arrows to the left or right of the Favorite buttons.
Note that some default buttons will appear on the Favorites Screen. These buttons are related to your initial configuration settings and are automatically cre-
ated. In addition, custom “Favorite” buttons can also be added. The OmniPL supports up to 50 Favorites for quick easy access to commonly used functions.
Navigation
The OmniPL has been designed to be intuitive allowing most users the ability to navigate with little instruction. Below, a list of commonly used buttons are ex-
plained. As you navigate through the various screens, these buttons will likely be displayed. Some sections of this manual may refer to buttons that are specific
to certain types of pool equipment. You’ll find more information about those buttons under their corresponding section. If your installation does not include that
particular equipment, those sections can be skipped.

Body of Water Features and Control Screens
As previously stated, the Body of Water Features Screens allow you to control functions and equipment for a particular Body of Water. Making a change will
not affect other Bodies of Water. For example, if the Pool is being displayed when entering the Features Screens, only the pool will be affected by any changes
or settings that you make. The contents of the Features Screen is a result of how the OmniPL was configured using the Configuration Wizard. If equipment is
missing or does not belong in the Body of Water Features Screen, you may have to go back to the Configuration Wizard and correct the configuration of that
equipment.
An example of a Features Screen is shown below. In this example, we are looking at the Pool (shown in lower left of screen). The arrow button on the right
means that there are more Features Screens if we advance.

Depending on the equipment that has been configured in your system, your screens will likely be different. The purpose of this section is to explain how Features
and Control Screens work as well as show some common equipment examples which will help familiarize you with the interface. Even though some of your
equipment may be different, you should see similarities in the following examples that will help you create and change settings for all the equipment in your
Features Screens.
The following examples will be shown for the Pool only. All of the equipment shown in the Features Screens have been initially configured in the Configuration
Wizard to operate with the Pool. You may have also configured the same type of equipment to operate with a different body of water. For example, you may
have a heater for the pool and a second heater for the spa. The following information should help you understand how to control all of your equipment, regard-
less of which Body of Water is selected.
Control Screens
After an item has been selected in the Features Screen, you’ll be brought to a Control Screen. Control Screens are where you will actually make changes to the
pool’s equipment settings. To change a setting, you’ll first select the Body of Water, then select the feature you’d like to change in the Features Screen, then
make your change in that feature’s Control Screen.
Filter Pump
In the example below, a variable speed pump which was named “vsp” has been configured to be used with the Pool in the Configuration Wizard. Touching the
“vsp” button in the Features Screen will bring you to a pump Control Screen which will let you manually turn on/off the pump, set a schedule, set a speed, apply
a countdown timer and view the status. Single speed and two speed pumps will have a similar Control Screen.

Chlorinator
If a chlorinator has been configured in the Configuration Wizard, you will see it in the Features Screen. Touching the chlorinator button will bring you to the
Chlorinator Control Screen that will allow you to enable/disable the chlorinator, set a schedule, super chlorinate and view/change diagnostics. A sample screen
is shown below. For schedules, refer to the previous examples in this manual.
If using an HL-CHEM - The Hayward HL-CHEM Sense and Dispense accessory continuously tests the pool’s sanitization and pH levels allowing the OmniPL to
automatically generate the correct amount of chlorine and dispense the proper amount of pH reducer. If using the HL-CHEM and ORP has been enabled in the
Configuration Wizard, the OmniPL will display chlorinator readings and settings in “mV” rather than “%”. Refer to the information below as well as the HL-CHEM
manual for configuration and operation instructions.
Chlorinator Setting - The OmniPL can only generate chlorine while the filter pump is operating. Set the percentage of run time that you desire chlorine genera-
tion. Raise this value to generate more chlorine. Lower this value to generate less.
NOTE: After the initial setting, you may need to raise the setting when the pool water temperature increases significantly, when there is higher than normal
bather load or when your chlorinator cell ages. You may need to lower the setting when the pool water temperature decreases significantly or there are long
periods of inactivity.
Super Chlorinate - When you have an unusually high bather load, a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition that requires a large
amount of chlorine to be introduced to the pool, activate the OmniPL Super Chlorinate function. The OmniPL will turn on the filter pump (if not scheduled), set
the pool/spa valves to the correct position, and set the chlorine generator to maximum output. The super chlorinate function will continue for the programmed
number of hours overriding the normal filter pump schedule settings. At the end of the super chlorinate period, the pool will return to normal operation. If you
manually turn off the filter pump, the super chlorinate function terminates.

Chlorinator Diagnostics
For the chlorinator to be operating, several conditions must exist: the filter pump must be running, the flow switch must detect flow, the chlorinator setting must
be greater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF (superchlorinate will run under 50º except during freeze protection),
and the salt level must be within the operating range. If any of these conditions are not met, the diagnostic screen will show that the chlorinator is off. Also,
depending on the chlorinator setting, the OmniPL may be in between cycles and the chlorinator is at rest (cell current shows 0.00A). To force the start of the
new cycle, you can touch the Reverse Polarity button.
NOTE: If a conventional or solar heater is operating, it is likely that the temperature of the water at the cell is higher than the pool/spa water temperature dis-
played on the OmniPL default display.
Restart Average Salt - The OmniPL monitors salt level while chlorinating. At any time, go to the chlorinator diagnostic screen to view the average salt based
on an ongoing calculated average. If you restart average salt, the previous average is deleted and the OmniPL begins calculating the new average from that
moment. The OmniPL will start with the instant salt reading and calculate an ongoing average.
Reverse Polarity - The OmniPL periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the chlorinator cell in order to automatically clean off any calcium
deposits. To check operation in both polarities, touch this button. The chlorinator will turn off, wait for 15 seconds and then turn on in the opposite polarity.
Reset Cell Maintenance Timer - To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the chlorinator cell every 3 months
or after cleaning your filter. The OmniPL will remind you to do this by displaying a message to clean and inspect the cell after approximately 500 hours of opera-
tion. You can restart the timer by touching this button.

manual for configuration and operation instructions.
pH Calibration
If the OmniPL pH reading differs from independent water tests, you can adjust the reading by touching the Calibrate button and using procedure below. You’ll
be asked for the difference between the displayed pH level and the true pH level. You’ll want to select the amount needed to go from the displayed level to
the true level. In the example below, the displayed level is 7.3 and the true level is 7.5. You need to add .2 to the displayed level to arrive at the true pH level.

You can set schedules for the ColorLogic light as well as a countdown timer. This procedure has
been shown previously. Note that after the countdown interval, the lights will go off regardless of
their previous state.
Light Show/Color - From the ColorLogic Control Screen, select the desired show or color. Use the Advance button to show all of the available selections. Use
the Light Show/Color button to switch between all light shows and all solid colors.
Synchronize - Because changing colors and shows requires interrupting power to the ColorLogic lights, there is a chance that the lights could lose synchroniza-
tion due to timing issues. If you find that the color or show does not correspond with the selection that you’ve made, the lights may be out of sync. Touch the
Synchronize button to re-sync the ColorLogic lights.
OmniPL Direct Mode (Universal ColorLogic Lights built after June 2018)
Universal ColorLogic lights built after June 2018 are capable of OmniPL Direct mode. To run in this mode, select OmniPL Direct mode when configuring your
lights in the Configuration Wizard (see Installation Manual). The OmniPL will test your lights during configuration to confirm that they support OmniPL Direct
mode. If so, the ColorLogic Control Screen will display a Settings icon rather than a Synchronize button, which allows both Speed and Brightness control shown
on the diagram below. Note that Settings will also be an option when setting up schedules and timers for lights running in OmniPL Direct mode. Refer to your
Universal ColorLogic manual for more information about OmniPL Direct mode.

Freeze Protect Override
If freeze protection is enabled AND the air temperature falls below the freeze threshold, the OmniPL will turn on the filter pump to circulate the water. If two
bodies of water are configured, the valves will also alternate between the pool and spa every 30 minutes and the filter pump will turn off while the valves are
turning. The chlorinator will not operate if freeze protection is the only reason the pump is running. Freeze protection can be overridden for 60 minutes by
touching the Freeze Prot. button found in the Features Screen for the Body of Water with the highest heating priority (see below). IMPORTANT: Ensure that
equipment is protected from a freeze condition before overriding this feature. To resume normal freeze protection, simply touch the Freeze Prot. button again.
Favorites
Favorites can be found on the right side of the Home Screen and offer control for equipment regardless of which Body of Water is being displayed. Favorites are
also used to control equipment that has been configured for the “Backyard”. Favorites offer quick easy access to frequently used functions and most Favorites
can be added to Simple Mode (page 2).
The OmniPL will automatically create some Favorites based on your system’s configuration. You can also create your own Favorites. Once Favorites have been
created, you can change the location in which they appear on the Home Screen. In addition, if you no longer require a Favorite, it can be deleted. The OmniPL
supports up to a total of 50 Favorites.
In most cases, touching a Favorite button on the Home Screen will bring you to the same screens that have been covered in the Control Screens section of this
manual. Refer to these screens if necessary.
Alarms
An alarm condition will change the mood color of the entire touchscreen and display a “!” symbol in the upper right side of the associated button as shown:
For more detail, use the Alarm button found in Favorites. Alarms are automatically generated when new firmware upgrades are available (requires firmware
version 4.0.0 or later) or if the OmniPL detects a condition that is outside of the normal operating parameters. The Alarm button found in Favorites will bring you
to a screen that displays any active alarms. Some alarms can be manually deleted; others will remain until the alarm condition is corrected.

Deleting Alarms
For Alarms that can be manually deleted, follow the procedure below.
Upgrading Firmware (Omni products using firmware 4.0.0 or greater)
All firmware upgrades are initiated from Service Mode. If you receive an alarm that upgrades are available, selecting the alarm will give you the option to delete
the alert or start the upgrade (you can also ignore the alert and wait for a more convenient time). If you choose to start the upgrade process, you’ll be warned
that the OmniPL must go into Service Mode and will temporarily pause operation during this time. The upgrade procedure is shown on page 28 under “Upgrade
from Internet”.
Daylight
Daylight is another button that will appear in Favorites by default. This button is used to change the screen contrast for better viewing in bright sunshine. Touch-
ing this button will toggle Daylight viewing on and off.
Features/Lights/Heaters/Backyard
These four buttons function similarly. If any water feature, light, heater or backyard accessory has been configured in the Configuration Wizard, a Features,
Lights, Heaters and/or Backyard button will appear in Favorites. These buttons give you quick access to the Control Screens for all related pool equipment.
These are the same Control Screens that you’ve used in the Body of Water Features and Controls Screen section of this manual. For Features, Lights and Heat-
ers you can display the equipment based on a particular Body of Water or from all Bodies of Water as shown below.
