Remote Mounting of the Base Station

The Aqua Logic Base station can be mounted up to 500 feet away from the main

control unit. This feature is helpful if the main control unit is located a long distance

from the pool area or if there are buildings that may interfere with the radio communi-

cation between the Base Station and the remote devices.

Mount the Base Station on an standard, outdoor rated electrical box.

Cut the each of the 4 wires in the Base Station "pigtail" cable and then install the

connector half into the "Wireless Connector" on the main printed circuit board

(PCB) in the Aqua Logic control unit.

Use a 4 conductor cable and splice both ends of the cable making sure that the

colors match up correctly.

OPERATION

Every Base Station is manufactured with a unique ID code. This allows private,

secure communication with all of your remote devices while ignoring any signals

transmitted by other wireless devices including any other Aqua Logic controls in the

neighborhood.

IMPORTANT: Before trying to use any remote device: You must "teach" the correct

ID code to the remote device so it knows which base station to communicate with.

Refer to the Aqua Logic Operation Manual or the manual for your remote device for

"teaching" instructions .

The Aqua Logic Base Station and remote devices are programmed with a sophisti-

cated protocol that automatically switches frequencies if other devices are interfer-

ing. In the unlikely event that it can not find a usable frequency, it may be necessary

to change channels. Refer to the Aqua Logic Operation Manual for instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you believe that your system is not operating properly or if you have a general

question regarding system operation, you may call the Goldline Technical Service

Dept. from Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM Eastern at 888-921-7665.

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) until "Teach Wireless" display appears. If

you go through all of the displays without ever seeing the "Teach Wireless" and

you get to the point where "Settings Menu" appears again, then this means that

the Aqua Logic control unit is not communicating with the Base Station. Check

that the 4 wire cable from the base station is plugged into the "wireless connec-

tor" on the main printed circuit board (refer to the Installation section for connec-

tion diagram). If this connector is already plugged in (for more than 30 seconds),

then call Goldline Technical Service for assistance.

"Teach Wireless" failed: Ensure that the remote is powered when pressing the

button. This is indicated by a single flash on the LED on the spa-side remote or

a message on the display of the in-house remotes. If the remote is powered, then

the next most likely cause is that the distance between the base station and the

remote is too great—try moving the remote closer to the station. 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.

Unreliable communication with remote devices: The most likely cause is that

the distance between the base station and the remote is too great—try moving

the remote closer to the station. 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.

No communication with remote controls: Try the "Teach Wireless" procedure

to ensure that the remote knows the ID code of the base station and also what

channel to communicate on. If this procedure is not successful, then refer to the

"Teach Wireless" failed section above.
