Introduction
This manual assumes that the OmniPL has been installed and configured according to the Installa-
tion 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 Controller is not touched for more than two minutes, the Idle Screen will be
displayed.
Using the OmniPL Controller
The OmniPL Controller is 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 net-
work, by Internet enabled devices such as computers, tablets and phones. The OmniPL Controller
must be used to access the Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard is used for initial con-
figuration (completed during the installation process) and for any changes to existing configuration.
Idle Screen
The OmniPL Controller 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 29) - Service Mode will turn off all pool equipment and disable all remote con-
trols including networked devices. Service Mode is useful to prevent scheduled operation and dis-
able 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 exit-
ing. The timeout can be set between 1-96 hours. There is no need to exit Service Mode manu-
ally.
Features Off - Features Off offers a quick way to turn off all equipment with a single touch of a but-
ton. Note that the filter pump, heater, lights and chlorination will continue to run if scheduled.

Simple Mode (page 34)- Simple Mode is a customizable screen that can be set up for quick access
to your Favorites (page 19). You can set up only the Favorites 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 infor-
mation on how to create and delete Simple Mode functions, refer to the “Favorites” section in this
manual as well as page 34. 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 created. 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 in-
struction. Below, a list of commonly used buttons are explained. 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 equip-
ment 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 ex-
amples 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 informa-
tion should help you understand how to control all of your equipment, regardless 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. Con-
trol 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 on page 8, 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.
