Description
The HLXPLCONTROL is a replacement touchscreen Controller for the OmniPL pool automation
control.
Before you Begin
Before you replace the existing Controller, backup the configuration settings as described in this
manual. If the OmniPL is not backed up before replacing the Controller, you'll have to reconfigure
the OmniPL to manage your pool equipment. This is performed by following the Configuration
Wizard instructions in the OmniPL Installation manual.
Installation
Backing up the OmniPL Configuration Settings
Because you'll be replacing the Controller, you must backup the OmniPL to a USB thumb drive.
Internal memory is held in the Controller and therefore must not be used to store the backup. The
instruction below describe the procedure when backing up the OmniPL to a USB thumb drive.
1. Insert a USB thumb drive with at least 500Mb of available storage into the Controller. The
location is shown in the diagram on the following page.
2. At the Controller, select Backup as shown below.
3. Select the option to backup to USB and allow the OmniPL to backup completely. When
finished, remove power and install the new Controller.

Installing HLXPLCONTROL
DANGER of Death, Injury or Property Damage if procedure not followed. This equipment
connects to the OmniPL panel beneath the dead front. Dead front removal is required for this
installation. Power to the OmniPL panel MUST be shut off before the dead front is removed.
This means a complete shutdown of power to the entire OmniPL panel.
1. With the power removed, open the OmniPL's cover and remove the dead front to expose
the OmniPL Main Board.
2. Remove the existing Controller connection by unplugging its cable, then remove the cable
from the OmniPL enclosure.
3. Unfasten the existing Controller from its mounting surface. If the Controller is connected to
the home's access point via Ethernet, remove the connection.
4. Reverse steps 1-3 to install the new Controller. Then proceed to restoring the saved backup.

Restoring the OmniPL Configuration Settings
1. With the deadfront installed, turn on power and let the OmniPL fully start.
2. Insert the USB thumb drive into the HLXPLCONTROL.
3. Select Restore as shown below.
4. Select the following option:
restore from USB - you can browse the USB drive and find available backups. Backup files
will begin with “MSPCONFIGxxyyzz” where xx=month, yy=day, and zz=year (the date the file
was created). The OmniPL will automatically create a backup file when a new configuration
is saved. These files end with “.xml”. Backup files that are created manually end with “.bak”.
Both types can be restored.
To restore a backup, make your selection from above and then touch Save.
5. When the restoration is complete, navigate through settings and make sure that the
backup/restore operation was successful. If there is a problem, you may have to reconfigure
the OmniPL using the Configuration Wizard. This procedure is described in the OmniPL
Installation manual.
