This menu will only appear if a wireless base station is connected to the OnCommand. Perform this
procedure each time a wireless remote control is added to the OnCommand system. During this
procedure the wireless remote “learns” and remembers the ID code for the wireless base station
connected to this particular OnCommand unit and will reject messages with any other ID codes. If
“Base NOT found” is displayed, then the OnCommand can not communicate with the transmitter/
receiver base station attached to the main unit. If “NOT Successful” is displayed, then the base
station did not receive a signal from the remote control. This may be due to the distance between the
Base Receiver and the remote device being too great or may be due to interference caused by other RF
equipment operating in the neighborhood. Try changing the channel and then repeat the “Teach
Wireless” command.

Timers Menu
The Timers Menu allows you to set all timeclock and countdown timers which control the automatic operation of
your pool/spa system.
The OnCommand has 4 timeclocks available for each function. Each timeclock has a single on/off program per
day. All of the timeclocks are programmed in the Configuration Menu either as “all days” or “weekends/week-
days”. If “weekends/weekdays” are selected, the start and stop times will need to be programmed separately for
both weekdays and weekends, even if the same times will be used. All times are adjusted in 15 minute increments
(9:00A, 9:15A, 9:30A, etc.). If you program the start time equal to the stop time (ex. “10:00A to 10:00A”), the
function will be disabled and the display will show “Off”. If, at a later time, you wish to re-activate the timeclock,
simply press either the “+” or “-” buttons to go back to a normal timeclock programming display.
Two speed or variable speed pumps:
Two timeclocks are required to program the run time for dual or variable
speed pumps. One timer is used for high speed, the other timer for low speed.
The Countdown timer is programmed in increments of 5 minutes from “Manual On/Off” (0 minutes) to a maximum
of “21:00” (21 hours). When “Manual On/Off” is displayed, the countdown timer is disabled and the output will be
manually controlled. When a countdown timer is equal or greater than “0:05”, pressing the appropriate output
button will turn the output on and start the timer. Pressing the button again will turn the output off or, when the
programmed time has elapsed, the output will automatically turn off.

Lights Function
Although designated as the “Lights” output, the function of the lights relay is similar to the aux1 and
aux2 relays. If pool lights are wired to the lights relay, some options including Solar function, Low
Speed of a 2-Speed Filter Pump, Lights Interlock and Lights Freeze Protection will not be necessary
and should be disabled. If no pool lights are used, the lights relay can be used to control other pool
devices that may require these options. The function of each option is shown below.
Manual On/Off (default)
—the lights relay will alternate between turning on and off when the LIGHTS
button is pressed. There is no automatic control logic.
Countdown Timer
—the lights relay will turn on when the LIGHTS button is pressed. The lights relay
will turn off automatically after a programmed time (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual). The
LIGHTS button can also be used to turn the output off.
Low Speed of a 2-speed Filter Pump
– the OnCommand will turn on the lights relay whenever the low
speed operation of the filter pump is required. It is very important that the “2-speed” filter pump
option be selected under the “Filter Config.” Menu for proper operation.
Timeclock
– the lights relay will turn-on and turn-off at the times set for the lights timeclock in the
Timers Menu (see Timers Menu in Operation Manual). The LIGHTS button can also be used to turn
the output on and off.
Solar
– the lights relay can operate 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 Control” must be enabled in the “Solar Config.” menu for proper operation
to occur.
Group
– the lights relay operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group
function is terminated. See Lights Group section for operation information for the Group function.
Super Chlorinate
– if “Chlorinator” is enabled, this option allows the user to start a Super Chlorinate
cycle when the Lights button is pressed, rather than using the Settings Menu. Note that only one
button can be assigned to this function.
Lights Relay
This feature allows the user to select either “Standard” (default) or “Dimmer” type relay for the Lights
output. The optional AQL-DIM dimmer kit must be installed if “Dimmer” is desired. When “Dimmer”
is selected, and the Lights 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 lights are turned from off to on.
