2. Mounting the Equipment
Aqua Logic Control Center
The Aqua Logic is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting. The control must
be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal distance from the pool/spa (or more, if local codes
require). The Control Center is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockouts facing
downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heat from inside the box), it is
important not to block the four sides of the control. Do not mount the Aqua Logic inside a panel or tightly
enclosed area.
When selecting a location, note that the standard cables supplied with the Turbo Cell, flow switch, tem-
perature sensors, and valve actuators (if applicable) are all 15 ft. (5m) long. Call the Goldline Service
Dept. (888-921-7665) for information regarding longer cables.
PS-16 Expansion Unit
For the PS-16, the relays for Aux1-6 are contained in the Aqua Logic Control Center. The relays for
Aux7-14 are contained in the PS-16 Expansion Unit. Valve outputs 7-10, in the PS-16 Expansion Unit
follow the outputs of Aux7-10, respectively.
Temperature Sensors
Three sensors are included with the Aqua Logic. A water sensor and an air sensor must be installed at all
times for proper operation. A solar sensor is required if the solar function or “dual equipment” is enabled.
Water Sensor
This sensor is used to measure the pool/spa temperature and is installed in the filtration plumbing after the
filter but before either the solar or conventionally fueled heaters—refer to the plumbing overview diagram.
1. Drill a 3/8” (10mm) diameter hole in the PVC piping and remove all chips and burrs.
2. Insert sensor until O-ring collar sits flush on the hole.
3. Position hose clamp over the sensor and gently tighten until O-ring makes an adequate seal. Do not
overtighten.
4. For maximum temperature accuracy, cover the sensor and 3” (6cm) of pipe on either side with
insulation and white paint.
Air Sensor
Mount the air sensor outdoors.
!
IMPORTANT: Mount the air sensor out of direct sunlight.
Solar Sensor (Spa Sensor if using “Dual Equipment”)
For solar applications, mount the sensor near the solar collector array so that it is exposed to the same
sunlight as the collectors. For Dual Equipment applications, mount the sensor after the spa filter but before
the heater (see page 10). Use additional cable (20 AWG) if necessary.
Optional AQL-CL Chlorination Kit
The AQL-PS-4/8/16 models require the use of the AQL-CL or AQL-CL-25FT chlorination kit when
using the chlorinator function. This kit contains a Turbo Cell, cell unions and flow switch. Refer to pages 12
and 20 for plumbing and wiring instructions.
Optional Remote Controls
Goldline offers a variety of wired and wireless remote control options for the Aqua Logic. Each model
gives you the ability to control your pool’s functions from a remote location, away from the Control Center.

Timeclock – the aux relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the aux timeclock in the
Timers Menu (see Operations Manual). The AUX button can also be used to turn the
output on and off.
Solar – the aux relay operates a solar booster pump which will turn on when the filter pump
is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature
setting. It is important to note that “Solar” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for
proper operation to occur.
Low Speed of a 2-Speed Spa Filter Pump – the Aqua Logic will turn on the aux relay
whenever the low speed operation of the Dual Equipment Spa filter pump is required. “Pool
and Spa-Dual” (located in Pool/Spa Setup menu) and “2-Speed” (located in Spa Filter Config.
menu) must be selected for proper operation.
Group – the aux relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the
Group function is terminated. See Aux1 Group section for operation information for the
Group function.
Super Chlorinate – The Super Chlorinate function can be assigned to any Aux, Lights or
Valve button. This allows the user to simply hit a button to start a Super Chlorinate cycle,
rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one button can me assigned to this
function.
Aux1 Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for
the Aux1 output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired.
When “Dimmer” is selected, and the Aux1 output is manually turned on, the “+” and “-”
buttons adjust the level from 20% to 100% (default). The level is saved for the next time the
aux1 output is turned from off to on.
Aux1 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer,
Timeclock), selected above and turn the aux1 off when: filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of
filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), when the pool/spa
suction return valves are in any position other than “pool only”, or for the first 3 minutes
after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for
solar, low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.
Aux1 Group
The Aux1 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks with a single push of the
“Aux1” button. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 22 for specific programming
information. There are two Group menus; the first menu determines how the group command
will be initiated (Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, or Timeclock) and the second menu
selects the desired functions and their respective control parameters.
When activating Group functions, be aware that the most recent Group function that is
initiated will override any previous Group function.
Aux1 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool, plumbing, and equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature sensor falls below the selected freeze protection
temperature, the Aqua Logic will turn on the aux relay to circulate the water. IMPORTANT:
this only enables operation of the AUX output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.”
menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Freeze Protection is not
available for low speed filter pump, dimmer, or group functions.
