user manual

The manuals supplied with most heaters also include specific wiring instructions for connecting the heater
to an external control (usually identified as “2-wire” remote control). For millivolt or line voltage heaters,
contact Goldline Tech support, 888-921-7665. Refer to the diagrams and the information on the follow-
ing pages for more details on the connection to several popular heaters.
Generic Heaters
1. Wire heater to 120/240V power source per the instructions in the heater manual. The Aqua Logic
does NOT control the power going to the heater.
2. Wire the Aqua Logic dry contact heater output per the diagram below. Many internal parts of the
heater can get very hot--see the heater manufacturer’s recommendations on the minimum temperature
rating for wires. If no guidance is given, use 105°C rated wire.
3. Set any ON/OFF switch on the heater to ON.
4. Set the thermostat(s) on the heater to the maximum (hottest) setting.
Laars Heaters
1. Turn power off to heater.
2. Remove factory jumper from terminal block.
3. Wire Aqua Logic to the heater as shown.
4. Ensure toggle switch is in the ON position.
5. Set heater thermostats to maximum position.

Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the
Aqua Logic is configured. For example, if the Aqua Logic is configured for a single heater, “Heater2” will
not be available as an option in the Group menu. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be
displayed but can’t be changed. Note that the function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an
option and will automatically turn on when the group is activated. For example, if programming a Group
function under the Lights menu, the Lights function will not be offered as an option and the Lights function
will automatically turn on with the group.
The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions offer “Unaffected”, which should
be selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters will
depend on the particular function selected.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that you activate will
override any previous Group functions.
Heater Setpoints in Groups
The Aqua Logic can be programmed to use alternate heater setpoints (conventional and/or solar) while
running group commands. This allows the heater to be set to a higher or lower temperature than normal,
while the group is activated. When the group stops, the setpoint will return to its normal setting.
Changing the setpoint while the Group is running will make the Group release the alternate setpoint control
and revert back to the normal heater setting. Any changes that are made at that point will affect the normal
heater setting. The next time the Group is activated, the temperature will return to the group setpoint that
was originally programmed in the Configuration Menu. To change the setpoint while the Group is running,
go to the Settings menu and press the +/- button while “Group Control” is displayed. The setpoint will
change and be retained as the new normal heater setpoint.
Super Chlorinate
The Aqua Logic can be programmed to Super Chlorinate the pool or spa while running a group command.
When the Group starts, the Super Chlorinate cycle will begin. Super Chlorinate will continue until the
preset time expires (see Timers Menu/Super Chlorinate Hours) or until the Group turns off. Changing the
Super Chlorinate state using the Settings Menu, the Aqua Pod Super Chlorinate button, or a Super Chlo-
rinate assigned Aux/Lights/Valve button will temporarily cancel the Group’s control of Super Chlorinate
until the next time the Group is activated.
PS-8 and PS-16 Virtual Models
Aqua Logic Virtual models are similar to standard PS models, but offer additional auxiliary outputs with
limited functionality. The AQL-PS-8-V is similar to the AQL-PS-4 with 4 additional Aux outputs. The
AQL-PS-16-V is similar to the AQL-PS-8 with 8 additional outputs. The additional aux outputs on virtual
models can only be assigned to the Super Chlorinate function (if the Chlorinator is enabled) or to a Group
function. Refer to the following programming information when assigning functions to the virtual auxiliary
outputs.
Accessing the Configuration Menus
Configuring the Aqua Logic requires that you navigate through the Configuration Menu and input various
information. For more detailed information about using the Aqua Logic menu system, refer to the Opera-
tion Manual.
