Introduction
This manual assumes that the VS Omni has been installed and configured according to the Installa-
tion Manual. The VS Omni 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 VS Omni 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 VS Omni Control Pad is not touched for more than two minutes, the Idle
Screen will be displayed.
Using the Control Pad
The VS Omni uses the Control Pad touchscreen as the main interface with the device. Once
configured, the VS Omni can be controlled remotely by internet enabled devices such as comput-
ers, 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 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 pool on the left side of the
screen. On the right side of the screen, the time will be displayed and the air temperature will
toggle with the date as well as other information.

Home Screen
When the Idle Screen is touched, the VS Omni 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 VS Omni is not idle. When touched, it offers
the following 4 functions:
Shut Down - When Shut Down is selected, the VS Omni 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 VS Omni by touching the large power button displayed on the left side of the screen.
Service Mode - Service Mode will turn off all pool equipment and disable all networked devices.
Service Mode is useful to prevent scheduled operation and disable remote operation while servic-
ing the pool. After selecting Service Mode, there are two options:
Service Mode (Standard): The VS Omni 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 VS Omni 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 (except the filter pump and
ColorLogic lights if running because of a schedule) with a single touch of a button.
Simple Mode - Simple Mode is a customizable screen that can be set up for quick access to your
Favorites (page 17). 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 information on
how to create and delete Simple Mode functions, refer to the “Favorites” section in this manual.
The MSP ID number (page 27) 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 a spa), pressing the left and right arrows shown below
toggle between the Bodies of Water. If just a pool is configured, there will be no arrows shown.
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.

Features (left side of the Home Screen)
After selecting the desired Body of Water (if applicable), touch the left side of the screen to advance
to the Features Screen. The various buttons shown in the Features Screen are related to initial
configuration. For example, if you configured a heat pump to heat the pool, then the heater set-
tings for the heat pump will be displayed.
Favorites - Right Side of Home Screen
The right side of the Home Screen is Favorites. These buttons offer universal control for all Bodies
of Water and Backyard equipment. Up to four Favorite buttons will be shown on the Home screen.
To access more Favorites, touch the arrows on 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 VS Omni supports up to 50 Favorites for quick, easy access to
commonly used functions.
Navigation
The VS Omni has been designed to be intuitive, allowing most users the ability to navigate with
little instruction. Following is a list of commonly used buttons. 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 but-
tons under their corresponding section. If your installation does not include that particular equip-
ment, those sections can be skipped.

Features and Control Screens
As previously stated, the Features Screen allows you to control functions and equipment. The
contents of the Features Screen is a result of how the VS Omni was configured using the Configu-
ration Wizard. If equipment is missing or does not belong in the 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 the lower left of the screen) configured with a pump, a heater, a cleaner, and UCL lights.
Depending on the equipment 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.

Note that the following examples will be shown for the Pool only. All of the equipment shown in
the Features Screens will have been initially configured in the Configuration Wizard to operate with
a Pool body of water. You may have configured the VS Omni to share equipment with the Spa in
which case the equipment will be shown in the Features Screen for both the Pool and Spa.
Control Screens
After an item has been selected in the Features Screen, you’ll be brought to a control screen.
Control Screens are used to make changes to the pool’s equipment settings. To change a setting,
you’ll first touch the left side of the Home Screen to enter the Features Screen, then select the
equipment you’d like to set.
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, view
the status, set a schedule, set a speed, start a countdown timer, or view the pump’s diagnostics.
Single speed and two speed pumps will have a similar Control Screen.
