The Default Menu is a series of informative displays with nothing to set. The OnCommand will automatically
switch to the default menu when no keys have been pressed for 2 minutes and will then scroll through each display.
The Settings Menu and the Timers Menu are the menus you will be using most often to adjust the operation of your
pool. The Configuration Menu is used when the system is installed and defines what equipment is connected to
each output and the operational logic that will control the equipment. This menu is normally “locked” and should
only be used by a pool professional. Details regarding the Configuration menu are included in both the Operation
and the Installation Manual.
The “Diagnostic Menu” is primarily intended for the service technician and contains information and details about
the system operation that are helpful in troubleshooting, if problems occur.
Settings Menu
The Settings Menu allows you to set all system operating parameters except the timeclock and countdown timers
which are part of the Timers Menu.
Spa Heater
Off
Adjust the desired spa temperature (Off, 65°F, 66°F, ...103°F, 104°F, Off)
Move to previous/next menu item
The spa heater setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa”
operation and the heater control is enabled. The heater will turn on whenever the pool/spa valves are
in the “spa only” position and the filter pump is running and the spa water temperature is less than the
desired temperature setting. If you have both solar heat and a conventional heater and the solar
priority option is selected (Configuration Menu), then the conventional heater will only operate when
solar heat is NOT available.
Pool Heater
Off
Adjust the desired pool temperature (Off, 65°F, 66°F, ...103°F, 104°F, Off)
Move to previous/next menu item
The pool heater setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “pool only” or “pool and
spa” operation and the heater control is enabled. The heater will turn on whenever the pool/spa
valves are in the “pool only” or “spa spillover” position and the filter pump is running and the pool
water temperature is less than the desired temperature setting. If you have both solar heat and a
conventional heater and the solar priority option is selected (Configuration Menu), then the
conventional heater will only operate when solar heat is NOT available.
Spa Solar
102°F
Adjust the desired spa temperature (Off, 65°F, 66°F, ...103°F, 104°F, Off)
Move to previous/next menu item
The spa solar setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “spa only” or “pool and spa”
operation and the solar control is enabled. The solar system will turn on whenever the pool/spa
valves are in the “spa only” position and the filter pump is running and the spa water temperature is
less than the desired temperature setting and solar heat is available.
Pool Solar
88°F
Adjust the desired pool temperature (Off, 65°F, 66°F, ...103°F, 104°F, Off)
Move to previous/next menu item
The pool solar setting will only appear if the system has been setup for “pool only” or “pool and spa”
operation and the solar control is enabled. The solar system will turn on whenever the pool/spa
valves are in the “pool only” or “spa spillover” position and the filter pump is running and the pool
water temperature is less than the desired temperature setting and solar heat is available.

Valve3 Function
Timeclock (default)
– the valve turns on/off at the times set for the valve3 timeclock in the Timers
Menu (see Operations Manual).
Solar
– the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is
less than the desired temperature setting. Solar heating must be enabled in the “Solar Config. menu
for proper operation to occur.
In-Floor Cleaner
– the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor cleaner and
the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming. The valve will operate the in-floor
cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/skimming for the last half of the
hour.
Group
– the valve operates when the Group function is initiated and shuts off when the Group
function is terminated. See Valve3 Group section for operation information for the Group function.
Valve3=Filter
– the valve operates whenever the Filter relay is on.
Valve3=Lights
– the valve operates whenever the Lights relay is on.
Valve3=Aux1
– the valve operates whenever the Aux1 relay is on.
Valve3=Aux2
– the valve operates whenever the Aux2 relay is on.
Valve3 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock or in-floor cleaner) selected above and
turn the valve off when: the filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump
to prime and get water flowing), 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 or super chlorinate.
Valve3 Group
The valve3 Group function allows the user to perform multiple tasks when the automated valve3
function is initiated. When setting up a Group function, refer to page 12 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.
Valve3 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection
is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below the selected freeze temperature threshold,
the OnCommand will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the water. IMPORTANT: this only
enables operation of the valve3 output during freeze--see the “Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable
freeze protection for the main circulation system.
Valve3 Pump Speed
This is the speed of the pump when the Valve3 output is on. The choices are the Settings Menu speed
and a speed that is unique to the Valve3 output only. The default selection is “Settings Menu”. This
is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu for normal filter operation. If an
alternate speed is desired when the Valve3 output is on, push “+” or “-” and select from “Lowest” to
“Highest” in 5% increments.
